Who else doesn't get along with their mother?

Question

Besides me.

Answer 1

I get along with mine now that we don't live together. When we did, we used to fight ALL the time.

Answer 2

Didn't anyone ever tell you about the "I don't get along with my mother" club? LOL

Many people have great conflicts with their mothers. I certainly do. My mom has been an active alcoholic ever since I can remember. She's extremely critical of everyone and everything. She disregards hurt feelings when she speaks harshly. Most of the time she swears that the world is conspiring against her. She's very passive aggressive.

The sorry part about this story is that my family and I is all she has in the world. She likes no one and no ones likes her back. So she may call a couple of people her friends, but they're really acquaintances. I've learned when to read the signs, when to listen with one ear and apply psychology to change the subject when things seem to be going where I don't like. Many times, I've optioned to walk away and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The bible calls on us to "honor thy mother and thy father", but it's not to be understood that you have to subject yourself to a hostile environment. Distance (+) time are a good pair that promote healing and forgiveness.

Finally, always remember that you only get one mom, and no matter how many times you may wonder why you were assigned to her, instead of another, have faith that God has a plan and it's always to your benefit.

I've learned exactly how not to be because of the example that has been given before me. Am I perfect? Not by a long shot, but I've done whatever it's taken to not subject my children to the situations and environments that I grew up with. That's all one can do

Answer 3

Sorry you don't get along with your Mom. Sometimes it's just a personality conflict, especially if you are just like your Mom. I hope it works out, because I was sort of the same way. Now that my Mom has passed on, I wish I had made a little better effort to get along with her.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

I use to have the same problem, but thanks God, I grew up, and maturity kicked in, Cause mothers always wants the best for their children, work it out with her, no matter what type of problem, work it out, cause mom always going to be there regardless, and that's the only one in the whole world that never going to betraye you or do anything to hurt you, trust me there's nobody like Mom, no money, no honey, nothing, MOM IS A BIG WORD.

Answer 5

Oh, bad question. I mean, good question, but it brings bad thoughts to mind.
All my friends think my mom is so cool, they'd love to have a mom like her and all this crap. It makes me feel guilty and like there's something wrong with me because I don't get along with her. But she doesn't even like me. She's jealous of everything I have going for me, which has damaged my self-confidence immensely. And if we start talking, it's just all about how she was such a bad mom, blah blah, but then she doesn't change, so.....Not that anyone cares but that felt good. Thanks!!

Answer 6

I get along with mine for the most part. Until I have something to say... she'll either completely not listen and by the time she is willing to listen I dont even feel like repeating myself for the third time or she totally makes me feel like an @$$ by trying to contradict me.
So... as long as I dont try having a conversation with her - we get along fine.

Answer 7

Me. My mother is the biggest hypocrite I have ever met, and is ridiculously immature. We can't get along, no matter how much each of us tries to.

Answer 8

I never did,but a lot of it was my fault. She's gone now,so I tend to be self-critical about it. But really,we just didn't get along all that well.

Answer 9

My mother and I get along. Except when we, you know, talk to each other. Other than that...

Answer 10

Me!
I don't hate her or anything but we don't aways get along. But yet again I think that most teenage girls feel the same way.
