Is it OK not to like your mom?

Answer 1

No it is not OK you like her and like her NOW

Answer 2

We never chose our mother, it's not our decision. It is a fact since you were born from her.
Mothers can be nice, loving, and helping and also can be responsible, mature intelligent. And on the other hand they can be the contrary like any human being.
Well you can dislike her character, her behavior her being old fashion etc.. But you are not allowed to dislike her personally.
On the contrary maybe she needs some help from you.
Ask yourself a question: Is it OK for a mom not to like her child??
There is no difference, the answer should be the same.
When a mother faces a situation, when her child commits a crime, or did awfull thing, although the mother should not agree and accept the behavior of her child, she always should continue and care about him, and give him as much support he needs.
The same is expected from the child towards his mom, not less not more.

Answer 3

It is normal to go through a period of your life when you don't like your Mom or any other reminder of authority. It is not OK to disrespect her, though, no matter how off she may seem to you. When I went through this with my Mom, which was a huge surprise because everybody liked her and she was the Girl Scout leader, she told me I would know I had become an adult when I started to agree with her. Just by her saying that, acknowledging that we could have difference of opinion without WW III or some force to agree, made me view her and other adults in a different light. If any adult in your life is really wrong in their behavior towards you, ie:abusive, then speak to a school counselor or call your local health department or social service office. Otherwise, hang in there and do the best to get along with your Mom because she is your Mom and you don't have to agree all the time in order to get along, survive growing up and become the adult you will be. Good luck. :)

Answer 4

I am a mother of three and here is my opinion. You dont have to "like" anyone actions or behaviors, but you must give them respect, and you have to love them. Your mother gave birth to you, and while though sometimes things may be rocky, she still loves you and deserves to be given your utmost respect and love. That doesnt mean all of your days with her will be sunny, but as a mom I do know that my kids know if they ever needed someone or are in trouble, no matter what is going on between us, I would be the first there to help them.

So yes, it is ok not to LIKE some of her actions, or decisions, but you must always respect her and love her. (even if from afar, which happens in cases when some moms make overly wrong choices that affects the family in negative ways)

I know I kept speaking about love and respect your mother, but dont ever let one or two bad things ruin your relationship with her. (not saying it will, but just in case). Keep the doors of communication open with her and talk about your problems. Most fights and problems happen amongst parents and children due to lack of information, not because of lack of concern.

Answer 5

It is absolutely OK not to like your mom, if you have a good reason. Personally, I hate my mother, and do not talk to her, but this came about out of years of abuse. If you dislike your mother for some petty reason like she wouldn't let you go out last night, or made you clean your room. Get over it. If it's because she's psycho, try to get her some professional help and try to work with her to make her a better person to be around.

Answer 6

My kids would say yes definately but always love her...and I agree my mom and I never got along and don't share a lot in common. There are a lot of times I don't like my mom and yes it is ok..cause there are a lot of times that she doesn't like me either. Just don't let it take over your life.

Answer 7

Many times in families people's personalities do not mix. For example; I never got along with my Dad. Even today he drives me and the rest of my family crazy. There are times I don't like him at all, but I still Love him because he is my dad.

So to answer your question:

You may not like your Mom...it happens..just don't stop loving her.

Answer 8

I suppose it is okay to not "like" your mom, as long as you still love her.
Alot of times, we dislike the things that a person does...thereby not liking them, but you can still love them as a person.
You should always love your mom...but if you don't like her...you might want to talk to her about what is is that you dislike about her.
Then, you can begin on the road to fixing things with her and thereby liking her once again.

Answer 9

I like my mom now...but for a LONG time I didn't like her AT ALL. I loved her, but I didn't like her. I think that in those days she felt the same way.

Answer 10

under certain circumstances, we can dislike ANYONE - even mom. but the important question is - do YOU love her? if the answer is yes, then not to worry because we all get angry at loved ones at one time or another...but love always has a way of holding you together as a family.

Answer 11

Very often this is true. You are both unique individuals and there are often personality differences. Thats okay. You both have to learn to accept each other as you are. In the end Acceptance is about all any of us can expect. It has been hard for my girls and me, but with time we have been able "to accept what we cannot change"
