Because they are older and always think that mroe experience is better in everyday life. But really, experience is only good for some things. BUt when I tell me mother this, she understands but still thinks she is right but knows that there are other answers and thinks of them too. But hell, the worst person that could think she is right and fully experienced is my grandmother. She always thinks she is right and makes her daughter-in-law (my mom) feel bad because she doesn't know how to cook the way the grandma wants, and she doens't believe that my mother is right. My motehr cooks much better than her, GM is so rich I get sick! At 13 my grandma sat me down and told me face to face that she was always right and there was no doubt about it and that since she was older, my mther was always wrong. I swear I would've punched her right then and there of how she insulted my mother. Instead, I cried in the bathroom. LOL

I am a mom and I know I make mistakes and I am definetly not perfect. It;s just that we have been around for awhile and have seen through experience that we all tend to make the same mistakes when we are young. I LOVE my kids soooo much. I would do anything to spare them pain and disappointment. That's when it gets tough as a mom. We try to step in so you don't have to make the mistakes that we made..we really are just trying to spare your feelings. So, don't be too tough on your mom. I'm sure that what she does, she does out of love for you.

Mothers spend nine months of their lives giving you food, shelter, and love. Then we spend every waking moment praying to God that you don't have a life nearly as hard as ours. All we are trying to do is protect our children from the things they have yet to understand. We know you live your life eveyday and once we did too...everything you are feeling we have felt once or twice. So we are not perfect but we try oh sooo hard to be. This is the one miracle we get to assist God with....we have to protect it!!

well im a mother and i dont think im always right and i know im not perfect we just want what is best for you and we have been on this earth longer and just have experienced life and mothers dont want anything bad to happen to their kids and i know it seems like we gripe alot it is just because we care and want the best for our kids and more than likely you will be a mom or dad someday and then you will know what your mom was trying to tell you and believe me it will happen because i was just like you with my mom and my mom died when i was 25 of cancer and now i wish i had her so cherish her and just let her think she is right and be glad that you have a mother alot of us dont.

because they are on their own perspective. sometimes they relate it with their own time that is not relevant to our time. also, they think they are perfect cause they have different value than our culture. they always think they are right cause they have the experience, the wisdom, the answer and most of all, they are our mother, the one who gave birth to us, to them we are still decades away from their way of thinking.remember the old saying, "i was not born yesterday", "im 3 steps ahead of you", "been there, seen that, done that"....

It's not that were perfect we actually did more or less the same mistake our parents or relatives did so we know. It's a domino effect believe me you will understand when you become a parent.

Mothers think they know so much because they have more experience then their children do.

Sweetheart, whether "Mom" admits it or not...she's made alot of mistakes in her life...some of them very painful...& instead of assuming that everything she's saying is wrong...think about it...just 'cuz she's Mom doesn't make her always wrong either.
