Women and their mothers?

Question

anyone else have a less than perfect relationship w/ their mother? why do guys not have the same issue?

cvegas229...sorry to hear that, but I kind of feel that way, too, right now.

Blah Blah Blah...you're not your mother, you know better, don't be scared.

Answer 1

I Hate my mother havent spoken to her in years shes dead to me, she left when I was 4 and accused my dad of being a molester - yet she left us (5kids) with him!? go figure, finally she admits it was said out of bitterness, I become pregnant - she wants another chance says she wants to be a great grandmother to make up for things, so I try. Instead of showing him love and attention she buys him crap and sends him money, then accuses him of only wanting her for her money,
dumb b i t c h I hope she dies slow on Christmas

Answer 2

I don't talk to my mother. For my birthday, Christmas, all the other holidays, I get an email, nothing else. It's been like that for about 4 years now. My mother never really wanted children and so I think she just looked at us all as something like friends. She had 5 children. It's sad. I am a 29 year old woman who is afraid of marriage and a little hesitant on having children myself although in my heart I desperately want these things just scared. Freund may have had some truth when he said all problems come from your mother.

Answer 3

It is the fault of both the mother and the daughter. Moms will sometimes not be able to let go of their little bird and allow it to fly, and daughters are women too and know they want their independance. Of course, there are lots of other reasons they have problems.

The most common one is that they are both women living under the same roof and the daughter is beginning to outgrow the need for her mother to oversee all her actions. Some is just plain rebellion and the fact the mother is the one in the home who provides the immediate discipline.

You are MORE familiar with your mother than your father, and familiarity breed contempt. We will be more apt to confront our mother, rather than our father. Getting along with dad is just as facade. If he was always the one who did the correcting, then you would have a similar problem with daddy!

Answer 4

My mother did alot of things wrong, that I didn't understand. When I got older and had children of my own, then I really didn't understand how she could have done some of the things she did. When I got towards my 40's I finally understood some things, and although I still have a bit of resentment towards some of the things, when she died 4 years ago, I never knew how badly that would hurt me that I could never talk to her again. No one is perfect, and some mothers are just better at it than others. But we're human, we make mistakes.

Answer 5

When a girl reaches a certain age she becomes a woman and two women together spells trouble.

I should know - when me, my mum and my two sisters get together it's gotta be a short visit. I love them all dearly but we all have our own ideas about how things should be and being women, we have the inclination to talk about and then spit and hiss about it when the ones we love don't agree.

I think mothers probably have a difficult time accepting that their girls aren't just like them. And daughters have a job trying not to be just like their mum.

The reality is that we are too much alike our mums and sisters - we are so in-tune that we can almost read eachothers minds and emotions being offended before anything is even spoken!

Answer 6

i was 14 when my mother died and i would give anything to have her here again.

Answer 7

i have a less than perfect relationship with my mom... she tries to do the whole mom thing but it doesnt work for her... we're more like sisters on talking terms than anything else... guys have the issues with their dads i guess

Answer 8

I think we all have differences with our parents at times, I used to fall out with my mother and she with me, thankfully we were good friends before she died, 10 years ago

Answer 9

In generally,boys get along well with their mother,while girls get along well with their father.Of course that is not always the case!
