I'm 13 - My mom says these weird things that make me feel uncomfortable?

Question

She always says stuff like this:

"You are so good-looking"

"You are a hunk"

"You are a catch"

"Whoever ends up with you is very lucky"

"If I was your age, I would want to go out with you"

and other stuff. It bothers me. I told her that it bothers me. She said, "why would you be bothered by me complimenting you?". I tried to tell her how inappropriate it is, but she doesn't understand.

Answer 1

umm the last one is uhh weird.

just whenever she says it just say stop that annoys me or bothers me.

then tell her a mom shouldnt be saying that

Answer 2

That isn't inappropriate at all. Learn to take it as a compliment and get over it.

Answer 3

Ha, I actually wish my mom said things like that [not all of them, though .. creepy] more often. Although, if it were my DAD, yeah, I would feel really, really uncomfortable.

I don't know what more you can do except tell her to STOP again and again or something. That's really inappropriate. I mean, yeah, sometimes it's nice to hear someone say you look nice, but ALL of the time and everything [and from you MOM] that's ... wow. Sorry, I can't help more. Just keep telling her to stop and all. :/

Answer 4

She's making your  feel better about yourself, try talking to your mom and tell her why it makes you fell uncomfortable, like, your my mom! stop telling me your want to have s*x with me! If you get to uncomfortable, because she won't stop, tell her stop because that is sexual abuse

Answer 5

I don't think your mother means any of this inappropriately.

I think she just understands that a lot of teenagers nowadays have low self-esteem and often consider themselves "ugly" , "fat", etc.  Honestly, I think she is just trying to make you feel secure so that you don't think that "nobody could ever like you" just because the popular kid in school may not like you back.

I don't think it's anything to worry about and you should maybe try and appreciate what your mother is trying to do.  It may not be the best way to make your feel secure, but she is trying.  But still, all of this changes if she tries to touch you inappropriately. : )

Answer 6

You should be grateful that your mom gives you compliments. Some children have no one there telling them that and end up being insecure. If it bothers you that bad just explain it more thoroughly to your mother.

Answer 7

that is weird , but hopefully she just means well. just looka t her funny when she  says that or act disgusted or somthing

Answer 8

would you rather her say you are worthless, you are going to die alone, you fail at life, you are ugly, and that the world would be better off without you? learn how to take a compliment. i have to admit the last one is kinda creepy.

Answer 9

so whats your question?? maybe how to make her stop? well here is my advice since telling her to stop isnt working tell you will call CPS and report that your mom has the hot for you and be very serious cause that last comment is kinda wierd you know what i mean!

Answer 10

shes boosting your confidence.

Answer 11

she's trying to boost your self-estimate, i know alot of moms that say the same things (including mine)

its normal, just tell your mom you appreciate the compliments but they make you feel uncomfortable

your moms just being a mom =]

Answer 12

i think shes trying to act cool. you know boost you're confidence? But i can see how thats annoying

Answer 13

Did she has husband??

Answer 14

I know what you mean it is so aggravating it is "just their way of showing you they love you" says some moms.

Be glad your mom doesn't go, to your friends asking if you have a girlfriend. ITS NOT FUN!

Answer 15

im 19 n married n i think that stuff would scare me sleep wit 1 eye open....

Answer 16

She could just think you have low self esteem and wants to make you feel better?

Answer 17

She's probably saying that stuff because she wants to make you feel good about yourself. If she tried to touch you then thats a different story...

Answer 18

get over it dude.

if i was her, because you carry on about it so much i'd start saying it in public in front of your friends.

she is just being a normal mum. all mums do that, they are proud of their kids and she is complimenting you.

chill out, its not like she said "hey come to my room and we'll get funky"

Answer 19

It's not inappropriate, she is giving you compliments...

It would be inappropriate if she tried to sleep with you or your friends, however... there is a huge difference between telling you what a good looking person you are and abuse.

Do you always have problems accepting compliments or is it just these things your mom says?  Think about it.

all the best!

Answer 20

she's just proud of you!

i tell my 8 year old boy that hes gorgeous and i bet he'll get lots of girlfriends when he's older etc etc.

it doesn't mean i bloody fancy him for gods sake!!

Answer 21

She's trying to boost up your confidence and make you feel special!

Answer 22

well tell her dat im makes yu feel wierd..

nd also she culd jus be proud dat yur a handsome yung man :]

Answer 23

i don't think she means it in any dirty way. i think it is really hard for kids today to have any self confidence. That is actually very normal things to say. I would just sit down and tell her which ones make you uncomfortable, or tell her which things she says the you feel crosses the line. There is no reason for you to feel uncomfortable

Answer 24

That's a mom for you.  Of course your mom is gonna compliment you.  It's your mom, and she's probably just proud of you and all.

Answer 25

Don't worry about it.It's just a mother complimenting her son,it's normal!

Answer 26

im not gonna lie is alittle weird nomally a mom wouldnt say that

Answer 27

You have to be a guy! Look If your mom thinks your hot! Don't look at  it as a bad things. Have you ever heard of mom knows best. If you were an ugly b*****d she would not tellyou.but since you are not a freak YOu probably are good looking. Your're mom knows that you can have any girl you want. Have confidence in your self. your mom does not like you , she loves you. If you like a girl at school. Just ask her to be your girl friend. Same advice I gave my stepson. I told him just tell her you like her. They are boyfriend and girlfriend right now.

Answer 28

Well how often does she say these things?  Are you cute?  What's wrong with your mom saying something? She is just trying to up your self esteem prbably if it bothers you then just tell her to stop... lol

Answer 29

HAHAHAHA!

UR MOM DOES THAT TOO!!??

my mom does that all the time.

shes just tryin to make me fell better except sometimes were in front of ppl and its EMBARRASSING!

Answer 30

There's nothing wrong with your mom saying that. That's what mom's do man.

Answer 31

She's just being nice. She thinks you're good looking. She's bragging about what she's made, haha :)

My friends mother says the same things about her son all the time. It's funny. I don't think it's inappropriate.
