mom issues

ok im 14 and I fight with my mom almost everyday (not exaggerating. I cant remember the last time I went a day wihtout fighting with her.) most of the time we fight about stupud stuff, and she always punishes me which only makes me hate her more. I NEVER start yelling at her- I may talk back, but shes almost always the one to yell at me first, and how can I be expected to just ignore it? I have to yell back. no one in my family seems to realize it takes two to argue, shes always criticizing everything I do and now everyone else in my family and even some of my friends think im a bitch for always fighting with her. and its not completely my fault. she always thinks shes right about EVERYTHING even though she has no idea whats going on in my life. she just assumes its exactly like hers. she doesnt trust me with anything. she sometimes calls me a lazy worthless teenager. I HATE her almost all the time. what do I do???

Answer #1
  • My mom is kind of like your mom. She’s always runnin’ her mouth about everythin’.. and if she doesn’t get her way she’ll keep runnin’ her mouth even more. But in order to stop arguing with your mom..Just try to ignore her…For instance, go into your room and lock your door and maybe listen to some music so you won’t hear her mouth as much. Also, try having a talk with your mom..tell her how you feel. Kinda open up to her. If that doesn’t work just try to ignore her as much as you can. Walk away and don’t say a word to her for awhile till you’re not annoyed by her anymore.
Answer #2

They’re wrong just ignore her as much as you can. I mean if she’s a bitcch that’s just how she is nothing will change. You’ve got four more years for stay far away from her. If you feel the need to yell back do it get your point across tell her how she makes you feel when you fight. Make her feel like crap then maybe she’ll stop. That’s what I do sometimes.

Answer #3

‘I have to yell back’

No, you dont…

I had basically the same relationship with my mum. I pretty much hid out in my room for 3 years (luckily I graduated at 16 and was in college at 17). Things have gotten better now. Since she’s not likely to change, you want to try doing things differently. Like reacting differently. Not talking back. And quit yelling at her. Try pointing things out logically and calmly. And then walk away from the argument… Things will get better, just give it time… (oh and it doesnt hurt to try acting differently just once…)

Answer #4

its the same with my mom.. youre not the only one dont say you hate her, thats an awful thing to say :o she wants whats best for you , so she IS right she just has a different perspective on things,, youre only 14, and think you know everything.. its just a phase, so youll look back and laugh ina few years :)

Answer #5

you should really just sit down and talk to her in a calm, nice manner. if that does not work try counseling or therapy! GOOD LUCK!

Answer #6

I feel like im reading something about my own life. haha. you’ll probably end up like me.. kicked out. still hating your mom. but good luck. :)
