Why does my mother.......?

Question

My mother tells me to do the dishes, and things like that. I don't mind helping out but some times she nags. Why does my mom nag?

Answer 1

Because she wants you to be responsible and do things without her having to tell you to all the time. Try doing the stuff before she says anything and it will probably help a lot. Good luck.

Answer 2

Naggings is the mother role, I think that is universal every mother nags and if your mother dose not nag You are one lucky spoild person. But I think it just has to do with mother hormones. One way I have found an easyier way around that is to just say Yes Ma'am and nothing else go straight to the kitchen do those dishes and she will be so surprised. Now the first time she might still nag a little but do that straight for a week and shell think your going crazy and she will cease in nagging and probably worry more about you and if she dosent question it your mother will start doing the dishes hopefully if all go well in plan. Hay it worked for me.... nagging sucks.

Answer 3

That's good you don't mind helping out. And she is not nagging per say. Apparently you aren't listening. I mean, how long does it take you to do what she asked you? I think you should jump to the taks and she won't nag you. I had the same problem with my mom. The thing is, when she asked me to do something, she meant asap. I always said "in a minute, just a sec". Try doing it as soon as she asks you.

Answer 4

Hate to say it, but maybe she feels you don't just jump into help out. Moms tend to nag anyhow and do it more because they know it pushes your buttons. Maybe communication would help too. For example, your mom cooked dinner, you tell her that you'll do the dishes, but you have to do your homework first or whatever the situation is. By letting her know your intentions, it'll diffuse her from nagging. But if you make a promise, follow through, otherwise she won't think you're responsible/trustworthy.

Answer 5

Perhaps she may feel she needs to because of the way she was treated as a child with that type of chore or others. Has there been a time when she has asked you to perform a task and either you have forgotten to or just didn't do it? Although past performance is not indicative of future results, it sure does play into why people act the way they do. My feeling is that as you continue to do things for her, especially out of respect, that the more you show responsibility, the less she will "nag".

Answer 6

Because mom's nag, I don't agree with it, I'm going through the same thing and my grandma said that my mom never lifted a finger at home so why should I have to. I can't really tell you. I really wich I could though sry...

Answer 7

Perhaps it is out of frustration. How about if you sat down with her and explain that you don't like her repeatedly nagging you. Then tell her all she needs to do is ask you to complete a chore and then give you time to complete the task.

Communication is key in all relationships. Don't be afraid to talk to her or anyone that comes along your way.

Answer 8

moms nag because they are very stressed out with different things like bills. Allot of moms don't mean to take it out on the kids, but unfortunately it happens.

Answer 9

She is your mom and she will always nag no matter if your 90. It just something you have to deal with and let it go.

Answer 10

Yeah, My mom used to say "because I said so".

I hated it. To me, that wasn't a reason.

Now I'm the Mom of three girsl and I never said that to them. I feel like everyone deserves to be told why - even if the answer is because I'm the Mom and I say who does what and I say YOU DO THAT! When Your the mom, you can make the rules.

Of course, I said it good natured-ly. Not mean.

Now all my girls are grown and we're all best friends and see or talk to each other everyday, and I see them handling the same things with their kids..........heh,heh!, now thats fun!!

Stop resenting her and do your work. Ask her to help "so you all can talk"........(read that -'get some help')
