See my mom is driving me crazy because she is constanly calling me by my dad and my cousin's names. For example, whenever I do something that they might do she calls me Richard, my dad, or Joy, my cousin. Whenever I ask her to stop she gets mad at me. So how do I get her to stop?!?

Just sit her down when you're not doing something they would do and explain to her that you are NOT your dad or your cousin and that it hurts your feelings when she calls you by their names.
And remind her the next time it happens when you are doing something they might do, but don't shout, yell or scream just as calmly as possible say please mum I am......................, not Richard and not Joy, I am..................................
It may take time but she'll see she's upsetting you and stop.

i cannot give a satisfactory answer and do not wish to further agitate you, but my maternal grandmother was the same way.and to add some details my grandmom would on call the family members she disliked by other family members names that she did like. later in life she was declared to be hoplessly incompintent by a psycatrist and it was ruled so by a judge. sorry to air the family,s dirty laundry upwind of you. good luck

Either ignore her when she does it or call her on it. Tell her you don't like being called their names and to stop it. As for more advice, that would depend on how old you were. If you were out on your own you could just not speak to her for awhile. If not, you're pretty much limited to ignoring her or calling her on it!

Maybe she'll stop if you stop letting on that it really bothers you. That's why she keeps doing it cause she knows it's gonna irritate the hell outta you. from now on let it roll off your back, laugh at it with her, and then she'll probably stop when she sees you dont care anymore.

We whacky moms. Yeah, we do that, and its not intentional, it just means that we have that person on our mind at the moment. Don't take it personally. You try being a mom and you'll soon see it isn't easy. Just ignore it and go on.

Remind her what your name is and that you are your own person. It is disrespectful of her to do that to you. Try calling her by someone elses name and see how she likes it.

When she does something, call her the name of someone she doesn't like. She'll get the hint

She either thinks it's cute, or it is in someway a cut-down. If she keeps it up, tell her how it makes you feel. You are you, an individual who does her own thing.

Give her your prissy best and ask, "Do I look that ugly?"
Your mom needs to see a doctor, sorry.
