Do you know what you're mom wants from you? Like what would her idea Jaline be like. Maybe if you sit her down and ask her what she wants from you, you can calmly list the reasons why her ideal just isn't going to happen. By vocalizing it, she may just realize how unrealistic her expectations are as well.
However, it sounds like she may not be rational enough for this exercise, but it might be worth a shot. Sucks when you have to "be the adult" with your parents.- I've tried that before :(Jaline
- But yes, she expects too much from us. It's bizarre.Jaline
- Does she feel like too much is expected of her too?locustsloth
- I think so. She's very paranoid and is stressed out by the smallest things. Trust me, we don't ask that much of her.Jaline
- ...at least I don't. I purposely avoid asking my mom for help with certain things because I think about how the conversation would end up.Jaline
- would end up. Also, my dad does most of the work for the family now. My mom does stuff to, but not as much.Jaline
- And she usually tells us (her kids) how shitty we are, even though we're pretty good and all in university or plan on it.Jaline
- I could go on forever, of course, haha.Jaline
- She has 5 kids, so I cut her some slack, but being disrespectful for no reason is just going over the line. Most of us take care of ourselves now that we are older anyway.Jaline
- ourselves now that we are older anyway. We rarely ask her for anything.Jaline
- The only choice I have is to move out when I am done school and then make her realize certain things.Jaline
