My mom is always mad about something..?

Question

(Please read everything)
Lately, I have been noticing that my mom is always mad about something or someone. A few days ago, my mom's friends did something causing her to be upset. I can understand why she would be upset, but now she is getting mad at me and my family for no reason. Yesterday I called her stupid even though I didn't really mean it, and I explained that to her and told her I was sorry. I thought everything was fine because she said "its ok" when I apologized, but then out of nowhere she starts yelling at my dad that hes not giving her enough attention, when he had just gotten off of work, and all she was doing was laying on the coach being moody. Don't get me wrong, I love my mother..its just that she is always mad. I sometimes think she is just selfish..only caring about her feelings and nobody elses. I have no idea what is wrong. Can you please help me/my mom/my family? I think my mom might be going through menopause. Could this be the reason. Please help! Thanks.

I've tried to be really nice to her, but I still feel like she is mad at me :(

Answer 1

she could of learned this in childhood
to always think negative
be careful
cause this becomes a depressive personality
and you can learn this behavior
so dont let your self to always criticize and think negative
think positive and optomistically
still
she wont rest till she pisses you off
thats the depressive persobnallity
so keep a respectible distance when she is in her moods

Answer 2

How old r u?? What 14 or 15 and all u have to worry about is what to wear and not to eat tomorrow. Your mom might be sitting on the couch when u come home but what did she really do all day? Does she work, go to school, or have any real close friends? Do you have any younger or older sisters/brothers? there are alot more stressful things that could be going on in your parents marriage then you know about. Something could be wrong with the finances or with the relationship itself. Maybe it is Menopause (you will go through it later sweettie) Remember you dont run the world and it does not revolve around you and your feelings. Until you are the parent you have no clue what she is thinking. Try asking your mom if you 2 can chat. Sit down and let her talk to you about what she is feeling. Let her know how you feel. Tell her not to get upset but you think she over reacts sometimes etc... Watch how you talk to your parents its not what you say its how you say it. Lay off the attitude. I bet your mouth does not help.

Answer 3

well I doubt it's menopause. Maybe your mom is stressed out about something like her job, or your dad. Or maybe she's depressed. It's probably not you or anything you can do about it . If you want you can ask your mom if you can talk to her. Go somewhere. To lunch or the park or somewhere and ask your mom if she's o.k. Tell her that she's not being herself and that you want her to be happy . And if there's something you can do to make her feel better. Sometimes moms don't realize how crappy they're being but if you say it in a nice way she'll realize it and try harder not to take her problems out on you.

Answer 4

Your mom could be in menopause but she may not be either. Still, talk to your dad and see if he knows what's up. Tell him your concerned.
You might also talk to your mom. Be nice, like you sound you are, and just ask her if there's something you can do to help her so she's not upset so much.
There could be something a lot deeper than she's willing to talk to you about...but at least she'll know you care.
If it is something deeper, your dad will be able to talk to her. Hopefully, he wont' say 'its nothing'.
Your a good person for caring so much.

Answer 5

You are probably correct. it could be a mid-life crisis; she realizes that she is getting older, not younger, and life has suddenly passed her by.
She may be pummeled by a whole range of mixed feelings just now because of the both physical and emotional changes, none related to you or your dad.
You did the right thing in apologizing; continue to be nice and try to be understanding. but also watch that selfish streak. You may have to talk you dad into getting her to a Doctor for a check up.

Answer 6

It sounds like unappreciation. But don't worry it's bound to happen.
Your mom has done so much and burned herself out that she feels unappreciated.
For no apparent reason, when she does the smallest of things for you, tell her THANK YOU WITH A HUG Sometimes we need hugs.
And sometimes us daughters don't know what is like Working full time, raising kids, dealing with bills, cooking dinner, and washing laudry until we get there.

Everyday I tell my mom how much I love her and thank HER for the smallest things, because I am a working mom of 3 with a husband, dinner, dirty clothes and NOW Taking care of my Mom that is partially paralize and has lost her memory because someone decided to drive drunk. -Now she depends on me for everything like I depended on her.

So cherish your MOM everyday and tell her you love her especially when she doesn't expect it. Because all she wants "Is to be appreciated!"
