Moms? why are they so mean to us

Question

why do they have to be so unfair

Answer 1

They aren't really being unfair or mean .. that is your perception .. what they are being is cautious and a parent.  Depending on why your feeling this way could be because what you wanted to do was harmful to yourself or something a parent wouldn't want their child not to go through.

When you have kids you will understand.

Answer 2

mine isnt mean but she has her ways as I do . I am a grown woman and she acts as if I am a dumb  and young girl .  Is your mom mean or is she trying to help you . r u toung or an adult .. all this makes a difference

Answer 3

Though there are some exceptions,

normally its the child that is being unreasonable.

You and no one will admit it but most of the fights happen because we like to do things that aren't such great ideas whether we realize it at the time or not.

Even though I know this it doesn't keep me from being unreasonable at times, and yes I do throw tantrums, most of the time afterwards I feel embarrassed at how childish I acted but I once again never admit it to her.

Answer 4

Because they most likely did that same naughty stuff that you want to do but they realized that it wasn't a good idea.

Believe me, teen relationships have not changed in the past 40 years.

Answer 5

Becuase she gave you life.  She has more knowledge and experience about life than you and has to put some limits into place.  

What seems unfair to  you is actually called parenting.

Answer 6

i have no idea, i think they just want to get back at us for making them fat, and miserable (thats the way my mom seems at least)

Answer 7

Honey, what might seem mean to you is what seemed mean to me a few years ago. But I can only tell you and guarantee youthat your mom is only doing whats best for you, because she loves you and more likely because she doesnt want you to get hurt or in some cases make the mistakes she made. She is trying to protect you, thats all.  Trust me! Even though you might not agree with your mom right now do as she tells you for your own good.  In 10 20 years when you have your own kids you will understand and you will be sorry that you didnt listen to yur mom and you will feel very bad for putting her through so many headaches.  Also remmeber life is not always fair. Others will not always treat you fairly and thats just how it is. But your mom will always do whats best for you.

Answer 8

Because they are usually looking out for their children's best interest.  And often when these kids grow up and mature they then realize that these mean parents actually knew what the h**l they were talking about.  And on top of that once these kids become parents themselves the majority will do exactly the same things with their kids, as people live what they learn.  Oh and one last thing, you will certainly understand a bit better when you are a parent and your kids start asking the same questions of you, trust me it is bound to happen as it is only natural.
