she completely overreacts!

okay, so my mom overreact’s about stuff so much. like if I spill something on the floor- she goes crazy. but about big stuff, she’s really understanding. and to be honest, yes.. I yell back at her- and I say mean stuff.. sometimes I deserve to be yelled at.. but today- I was paiting my nails, and I left the top of the fingernail polish remover undone. the cat got on my table, and knocked it over. she went off on me, telling me she hated me, and I do things like that just to hurt her.

I cant take it, it drives me insane, and it’s all I can do- not to just scream shut up!

OMG!! Sounds like you’re talking about my MOM! You have to understand them though…they CAN over react and give you headaches a lot but they are under stress a lot. The number 1 killed is heatattack on women and 2 out of 3 causes are anger and stresss…

Even though I feel like I HATE my mother sometimes when she really makes me mad I have to yell at her and totally burn her and hurt her feeling sometimes.. I think about how I dont want her to die because of all the stress and anger I caused her to go through. even though she gives it to me too.

She might say things she doesn’t mean but things but just try not to do the things that make her explode and talk more about it. even though it might lead to another argument or something…(I know because it has happened to me) just try to keep it cool and make a deal about somthing and try to understand each other.

Its parents, they over react and we’re teens who see it as no big deal…really, because its not. but they feel like we just dont care and do it one purpose sometimes…to make them feel bad just like you said.

the best thing to do is to fix it by talking and avoiding what causes it. Someitimes is best to just shut up in an arguement. Sometimes when my mom says im do mean and dont love her because I liek to make her feel bad. EVEN though its not true I stay quiet and let her talk and talk…and seriously she goes on forever until finally she calms down. Trust me its hard to keep quiet but it works. Honestly, still struggle with it. its just part of my everyday life sometimes. =/ you just got to deal with it, and know how to handle it but its worth a try to stop it. dont give up. she loves you. =)

Wow. My dad is the same way. Only he freaks out about everything. Whether it’s losing a cell phone, or spilling milk to losing a dime! (Literally a dime!)

You need to talk to her of course. Her parents may have yelled at her for minor things as well causing her to be the same way to you. Or she is so stressed out every time one little thing happens she just blows up! Or as sooitca suggested, she has control issues. Tell her that accidents happen, and that you’re still young so even more accidents will happen. Explain that it has nothing to do about her…

Another thing…If your mom calls you stupid, or says she hates you, that’s wrong, I do agree. Never talk back to her though! She is your mom and can say she wants about you, whether it’s nice or not. Please tell her those words hurt your feelings. My dad says hurtful things to me all the time and usually apologizes afterward. If you yell back, that’s when it makes you the bad guy as well.

I’m sure you love your mom even if she says things she shouldn’t say…but like I said, talk to her. After you get off the computer you should tell her you love her and would never do bad things purposefully.

Try talking to her. Tell a teacher and see if she has any ideas! Or even a friends mom! I hope things get better! My mom was like that! It got to the point we would fight and punch and shed throw things so You need help just in case it goes that far!

Answer #5

well your mom is just yelling at you becvause she loves you she want you to be something when you grown up and not be sloppy and have a good educcation I might sound boring but its true cause mi mom does the same thing

Answer #6

it sounds like your mum has ‘control issues’ what’s going on in her life that she feels that she has so little control over, that she needs to control her ‘environment’ so much?

I think her issues are far deeper than superficial..you need to TALK to her.

I know she annoys you, but you need to ask her what’s the matter. this isn’t simply stuff being spilt this is a compulsion…and she needs to get to the bottom of it, they don’t ‘get better’ they get worse!!

tellher your sorry for what happened and you’ll replace anything destroyed, but emphasise that it was an accident, this will probably guilt her into thinking about how she reacted, more than the problem itself… x

Answer #7
