Everythings falling apart.

My mum overreacts in everything, like today; My sister was getting ready to go out and she had to leave in 20 minuites. I share a room with my sister so I was in bed. My mum asked my sister to go to the shops for her and my sister said she had to leave soon, this rapidly turned into and argument. Soon after my mum woke me up horribally by shouting my name really loud. When I answered her she said I want to you to go to the shops for your baby sister ( it was for baby milk) I instantly said yes because it feels like im the only one who tries to stop the constand rows. But I wanted a ciggerette first and she was shouting stop being so selfish!!! After I had a ciggerette I went to throw on a tracksuit to go up the shop and my mum came in shouting ‘’ dont botther ‘’ ‘’yourr so selfish all you think about is your ugly self’’ ‘’ go to hell’’ . she ended up going to the shops, even though I said I would go, so she could find a reason to be angry at us.

I need advice, it feels like she hates us .

Answer #1

She definitely sounds stressed out. I suggest trying to talk to your mom/ maybe have a family meeting about how to deal with all the chores in the house etc. Maybe if you make some small changes it will help her out a lot.

Answer #2

It Sounds Like Shes Stressed

Maybe Because She Wants To Look After All Of You But Looking After Your Little Sister Is Stressing Her … Just Give Her Time Out By Her Self … Take The Family Out While She Catches Some Sleep

Answer #3

She doesn’t hate you - she sounds like she is stressed out.

You need to remember that your mother is only human. She has her own personal problems, stresses, and issues just like any other person in this world. She is not perfect and things get to her just like they get to you.

If it’s really bothering you - you can always sit down with her like an adult and talk to her calmly. The key word there is “calmly”. If you sit down with her and tell her how her stress and anger are making you feel - most likely she will understand and try and work on things. I’m sure she doesn’t even realize how much it is bothering you. You have to talk to her if you want things to change.

Answer #4

Consider showing respect, helping her out and taking some of the load off.
