Me and my mother...would you help?

Question

My mum does really bother me when she talk about her own issues and problems I always listen to her and give her advices sometimes, I just hate this because I want to tell her about my problems too and I feel like I'm the mother here so should I tell her to stop bothering me like that? I'm worried because I know I am the only one who actually listen to her.

Please help, thanks.

PS: I'm sixteen.

Answer 1

you are a great daughter for listening to your mother even though you get tired of it. Open up to her more like a friend rather a daughter. Seems she has already done the same for you by dishing out her dirt. You will become even closer I believe.

Answer 2

The fact that your mother ask you for advice is a great testament to your maturity. At the same time, its pretty bad on your mothers part to dump all that weight on you knowing your a teenager.  The next time your mother approaches you with her baggage, kindly listen, and then force your issues into the conversation, so it can be a feel good experience for both of you. So that you both can converse and sooth each others emotions at the same time with mutual support.

Answer 4

If it were my daughter and I was doing that to her, I would want her to say:

Ok, last time time we spoke you talked me about this and this problem now I want to talk about mine.
