My mom has constantly yelled at me today and I want to yell back but I haven't...I respect my mother a lot! She has been sooo bossy and she's never like this. I have talked to my step-dad about it and he yelled at me. I don't think I have done anything wrong but my brother gets all the attention and he never gets yelled at. What is the deal? My mom is calling I'll check my mail ina few minutes! Bye!

i am a mother myself. when i haven't had enough sleep, or i'm tired or i am having a bad day watch out. i am so frustrated that i let off alot of negitive energy and i lash out. i'm out of control. i take my bad mood out on anyone near me. do i sound like your mum. she may have a health problem or may just feel unwanted in the home .theres alot of reasons. with you being a child its not fair as you wouldn't know how to deal with this or fix it. i can give you a little clue though which would work for me. write her a letter telling her good postitive things about her and also how you feel. sometimes honey gets more positive results. like help her clean the house, make her cups of teas, just show her thats she's appreciated. if this doesn't work at least you can say you gave it your best shot & it feels like you are going to be young forever but remember my words. time doesn't stop for no one & before you know it you will be old enough to leave home. good luck and don't give up. i know shes the mum but sometimes in life a wonder who the child is ha ha.

Maybe you should ask your mom why she's so grouchy. She might yell at you again for asking but hey, you should get your info directly from the source.
If you know you haven't done anything wrong then next time she yells at you calmly point out that you did as you were suppose to and leave it as that. It sucks to be a parent to your parent but sometimes they need that.
As to why your brother gets the positive attention, is your step-dad his biological dad? I'm a step child and sometimes it feels like if you're an "intruder" in your own family because other children get treated differently when their biological dad is around.

I bet she is having a bad day and tends to take it out on anyone that is in her path. Try to give her some space, maybe help around the house, etc. And be thankful she is still alive to even talk to you or yell at you. My mom passed away 6 1/2 years ago. I still miss her terribly and wish I could talk with her, hear her voice, and tell her I love her just once more.

Maybe she is having a bad day. Maybe she is on her period. I have two kids and they always thought I was nicer to the other one. I never had to yell at my daughter, but I had to WHIP my son a lot. However, she minded me and respected me and he didn't. Yet, I have loved him with all my heart, and was only trying to make sure that he turned out right. My own mother treated me and my sisters different, but we knew that she loved each of us the same. Maybe you could ask your mom what you could do to help her to not yell at you. Just tell her that maybe you deserve it, but that you really want to find another way for you two to live happily together.

My daughter thinks the same thing about me, she thinks that her brother gets all of the attention. If you guys talk to us and find out what really is going on! Plus, you should tell her that you feel she is always coming down on you! Maybe she feels that you are not listening and she has to get your attention some how!

yes my mom does drive me crazy all the time!
but is your mom in her 30-50's?
because she could be going through menopause
my mom has been for the last 20 years
she yells a lot, and its almost like she is another person.
but just think that in a few years she wont be like this
its just a phase....

if you mom is never like this, then something is going on that almost certainly doesn't have anything to do with you. you will probably find out in a few days what is really going on.
That is separate from your brother getting all the attention.

There must be something bothering her. But you should not have to be at the end of her temper. Next time she does it start to cry, sob your heart out really loudly and say I don't know what I've done to deserve your anger but it's making me so sad! Good luck! That should make her stop and think. What you are describing sounds like verbal and emotional abuse.
