My mom is ALWAYS on the phone with her friends talking with her friends. I ask her to get off the phone so I can talk to her or something and she just ignores me and keeps talking... She even talks until like 12 AM. It's really getting on my nerves. Please help me!!!!!!!

Thanks sooooo much!

  1. How long has this been going on? Does she literally just talk and pay no attention to you?

    Bcuz obviously if she is ignoring you like that, she shouldnt have been a mother at all...

    **** like the person below me said, she sounds immature & selfish... i would NEVER be that kind of mother, so i cant understand your situation... sorry for saying it about your mother but really... thats just something else!


  2. kick her in the balls

  3. That happened to me too. Though my mom would talk to her sister, not her friends. It really annoyed me because when I got home from school she would always be on the phone and I would tell her something and she would just whisper "later" . But after a while , like a a few months to a year my mom stopped talking on the phone so much. Actually it was such a big change that I asked her if she got in a fight with her sister. She didn't, but I think she finally got tired of talking all the time.

    To get your mom to stop, wait until she gets off the phone (may take a while) and ask her why she talks so much. Then you could tell her something like "Well when I come home from school I would like to tell you what happened that day, but you are always on the phone". Maybe that will give her a clue.

    Whatever happens good luck! : )

  4. If you have a dad in your house then tell him about your problem. He will definitely be able to get her attention. If you don't have a dad at your house leave her a post-it note on her phone while she is sleeping saying "We Need To Talk." She will most likely come and see whats wrong because by the way its worded it sounds worse than it is.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HOPE I HELPED~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Sorry about your dad if there isn't one in you house. :-) I know how it feels

  5. You need to catch her at a time that se is not on the phone. Tell her how you feel and explain that you would like some time with her.

  6. call her on the phone and start off the conversation with "since this is the only way you will speak to me". This might get her attention and make her feel bad.

  7. She sounds immature and selfish.

  8. first off, I'm sorry to hear that she's ignoring you..that can't feel good. Try to catch her when she ISN'T on the phone..even if you have to stay up a little later to catch her right before bed. Try to sit her down and talk to her calmly and like an adult. She might be unaware of how she's making you feel and if she's not on the phone she's more likely to listen.

    good luck, I hope it helps

  9. my mom does the exact same thing !

    I had a talk with her a couple weeks back

    and its improved, just sit down with her

    when shes off the phone and tell her how

    you feel. Listen to her perspective and

    tell her yours. Hopefully things will get better

    dont expect her to change right off but it

    should get better, and if it doesnt try to talk

    to her again

  10. I used to have a similar problem what i did was wright "Mum Your Talking to much on the phone and it feels like your ignoring me"on a piece of paper and gave it to her to read she almost immediately hung up and we had u massive talk after that its been fine PS, just remember that her friends probably have children and they feel the same way so this could be benefiting allot of people in the long run  

  11. Whenever She Is Off The Phone Use Her Time Wisely And Tell Her " Mom, We Need Too Talk. You Are Always On The Phone and I Would Like To Spend Some Time With You. Please Tone It Down With The Talking So We Can Have Some Mother-Daughter Bonding." Maybe She'll Listen And Tone It Down.

  12. aw,

    why dont you unplug the phone for a while.

    and then tell her how you feel

  13. bug the phone, it works

    mess it up a bit so it wont work as well

    try hiding the battery and when ur done, put it back

  14. Well maybe that's who she is ..

    my mother has the insane ritual of talking

    to her sister every night for 2 hours which drives

    everyone crazy... but that what my mother enjoys

    so we let her...


  15. you have to get her to realize that this is serious for you, this issue with her on the phone ignoring you. if you can't get her to sit down and talk to you, i would write her a letter. explain to her that you need a mom...even if it's just to simply talk and ask how you're doing. a letter would get her attention because it's symbolic. it's a physical thing. it's taking yourself and her out of the normal element in order to communicate to her something specific. be articulate and serious. don't be mean or insulting. i would suggest taking the high road, almost like you're the mother and she's the child. explain to her it's affecting you and it's such a simple cure to make it stop: for her to be your mother. suggest her scheduling "talk times" where she can have her own private time to be on the phone and not expect any disturbances and in turn you have to respect those times. but other times, you need to her to be there.

    if she doesn't respond after that, drag her to dr. phil or something public like that so that what she's doing can be put out there. sometimes parents don't take their children seriously, because they're just kids or whatever. but then you end up with children killing themselves or killing others. not saying you woudl do this, but i hate to see parents not putting in the effort to be a parent. good luck!

  16. Wow are you sure she's talking to her friend  

  17. kick her in the cooch
