one time while we were taking an aerobics class in gym, my mom fell and got a really bad carpet burn, but she laughed about it. later when we were leaving, I was asking her why she was laughing about the fact that she fell and she was like "you're never gonna make it in life by falling and staying down there. you have to laugh about it or you'll never see the good side of things ( it was something along those lines)
and then when I was lying her bed next to her and we were joking around about something, and I rolled over and almost fell off the edge of the bed, i asked her to help me and she was like "no, I wont always be there to help you. you'll have to help yourself"
i dont get why she's all of a sudden using these metaphores on me. why do you think she is?

She is distanceing her self from you graddually as she knows you are growing up and away from her. She loves your company
and realizes she is getting older as she see her young daghter is no longer a child. It's nothing to be alarmed ove rinvent somen for her such . come on hot stuff lets boggie you rascal:)

She is using folk sayings to try to teach you valuable lessons. Take a minute and really think about what she is trying to tell you. Example 1 that you gave is that everyone goes thru a rough patch in life, if you let that rough patch take over your life and make you miserable, then you will never get going and realize your full potential. The second example is obvious.

These are not metaphors...they're sayings or cliches. But anyway, she is probably thinking a lot about you growing up, and maybe feeling emotional or introspective about it.
She could be doing worse things...

Those aren't metaphors -- they're proverbs, or aphorisms. Cliches.
And I guess she uses them because they easily come to mind, or easily express what she wants to say.
But she sounds nice. :) She's trying to tell you that you have to be strong, smart and independent if you want to make it in life. More parents should be that way!

Maybe she's seeing you as an equal, and trying to share with you her adult feelings on the world, so that you can too. She's accepting that you are smart enough to get it. Maybe. You could ask her.

She might be trying to get you ready for life. It would get on my nerves though. My mom does enough of that know. I would hate to have that added on also.

She's teaching you the best way she knows how. Let her, and take her advice. So far it sounds like good stuff.
