Why does my mom hate me?

the reason why I say that my mom hates me is because she is always mean to me and is always trying to manipulate me.She acts like the world revolves around her only.she has these stupid dogs of hers and I think she loves them more them me.I am her first born and I have a sister who is at 4 1/2 years younger then me and I think she loves her more then me.plus she kind of spoils her and never usually yells at her.my mom always telling me to do things. and thats why I think she hates me.

Answer #1

I am on the mums end of this, and yours. I too have issues about my mum favoriting my little bro, because he is the ‘baby’ and thats just it, the last one always has it a little easier than the one before.

and I also have two childremn, and I probably shout, well no doubt actually (but then if they listened to me before I had to start shouting then we woulnd’t be at the ‘shouting’ stage - anyway)

I don’t think that your mum loves your sibling more than you, it’s just age wise you are both at different stages and maybe your mum finds it easier to get on with your sister at the moment. relationships are like this, they change all the time, especially as you change.

don’t forget, parenting is learning too, and often the older one is the guinea pig! it sucks I know, I have been an older and a younger one…

I’m sure if you spoke to your mum and asked if there is anything you can do to make you and her have a better relationshp that would help. she may dismiss there being a problem, but give her a day or two to digest it and figure out a way to deal with it and go from there. if one of my kids came to me and said I favoured one over the other I would be really hurt, I don’t at all, but I do have totally different relationships with them - but then there is an important factor - you are sisters, not clones and you both have individual personalities…

it will get better…

Answer #2

Probably your mom is reacting to you. If you are a normal teen then you don’t talk to your mom about whats in your head, you grump about doing stuff, you are old enough to take some of the work load off her but you don’t and you answer back with mean words.

If this is the case she doesn’t hate you - she doesn’t like you at the moment.

If you want this to change think about doing something to please your mom.

Also I was the youngest child and my sister hated me because I got attention and she got to work. But she also got the best room and to go out while I could not. As sooitca said above, you are at different stages and your mom has different expectations of you.

Feeling hard done by makes things worse. Be thoughtful about what you say and do and nice to your sister and mother and your relationship with your family may change.

Answer #3

Everyone at some point in their life feels like this, it is normal.

If you do not tell anyone, you end up bottling it in and getting into more moods and grumpy and irritable.

It is hard to tell someone how you feel but you should speak to your mum about how you feel and what she should change.

Hopefully she will respect you for telling her.

I have 2 younger sisters too and I feel that they are the favourites in the family. As the older one we are expected to be more responsible and be able to ignore it. But its hard!!! I know!

Speak to your Mum, it is worth it.

Best of luck
