My mom gets mad WAY too easily!!?

Question

My mom gets mad really easily! For example; Today she was talking to someone about plans for tomorrow and they were talking about someone I know so I asked her what she was talking about. Then when we left she says "It's not your conversation and I wasn't talking to you". The point is, she always jumping down my throat! If I try to talk to her about what's on my mind and it usually ends up with me getting privileges taken away! I admit that sometimes my being rude causes it. So how can I talk to her without her flipping out?

Answer 1

suck up to her a lot or ignore her. I know, she's your mom. But still.

Answer 2

OMG i am in the EXACT same position as   you! The problem is mostly because i'm a teenager (16) and my mom is trying to cope with me growing into my own person but she's doing a crappy job at it.......she's always looking for reasons to punish or yell at me and gosh do i hate it! But my mom also has a lot of stress going on in her life and i know thats also why she acts like a b*tch so much to me......so maybey your mom is just stressed about something and takes it out on you! its not fair but it happens and im just letting it go because i know i won't be dealing with it forever! Good luck  

Answer 3

You know what my dad is exactly the same!!! I cant even tell my dad about one little thing even if i say today i did this and he will be there yelling at me like i said something wrong or bad and we end up getting into an argument and once i argue back he becomes worst and then i just dont understand what was the point he started it lol! I even wanted to move out of home and be away from him because he would also start arguments over things he thinks i answer back rude or so and so on and i couldnt handell it but i told him maybe we dont spend enough father and daughter time together to be like others and i don't know we got pretty bad once and i just try and stay away from him. I been through it my whole teenager years and the best thing i could do was leave the house or dont try and talk to him i couldnt even ask him for money without him flipping out lol.

Answer 4

my mom isn't like that but my DAD is worse than that...he yells at me all the time...i never do anything right apparently....but he doesn't beat me(for that i'm thankful)...if she yelling at you yell back at her and talk to her that way..idk thats what i do sometimes when my dad's yelling at me

Answer 5

Me too!! Is she going through or close to menopause or something? That could do it.

Answer 6

Maybe shes just really moody, that happens to everyone at some point, just give her time and space

Answer 7

Dude, I'm RIGHT there with you!

We even fought today!

I mean, yeah I talk back, but that's because I just try to push her buttons...

We're like best friends, but we also fight like it. lol.

I think the best way on YOUR part is to just think before talking and try not to get on her bad side... you'll be out the house in a couple years anyway. gl. <3

Answer 8

Say, "Mom, I understand you are tired or stressed....so when you find a good time I would like to talk to you about.....or I want your advice about....." I had 3 sons, this worked for me, but I didn't have a daughter...good luck.

Answer 9

dont talk to her just keep her outta your life if she's that much of a *****

Answer 10

ask her why she's easily irritable towards you. she may be feeling resentful toward something you've done or something related to you (not necessarily your own fault or wrong doing, but from her perspective, it was unfair). there is usually an underlying cause.

You don't have to talk about stuff- but try talking to her to just talk with her with a simple goal of starting and ending a conversation without conflict. (the ending part is the most important, many people fail to end it right) forget semantics (who's right, who's wrong etc) because that will lead to no where. we are all wrong at times and we are often right at times too.

  

Answer 11

Try talking to her about why she always seems to flip out on you when you're talking to her and give her some good examples!

If that doesn't work, then find someone else to talk to.  You don't HAVE to talk to your mom if she's being so touchy.

There's other people you can talk to.  Your father maybe?  Siblings? Or some close friends.

My dad snapped back about me not getting into his business before and I got on his case about it.  At first he was an *** about the situation but later on, he apologized and explained why he reacted that way and that he would try to change his ways.  :)

Answer 12

to put it in basic simple terms, mom time with friends is mom time ONLY with friends. she raises kids on her 99% other life and when she finally talks with her friends, its an adult conversation with ADULTS. Thats pretty much it, also being rude my keep her on the edge as well, so be nice, and talk when she's talking to you.

Answer 13

If I were you, I would apologize to her.

You were wrong for budding in.

Speak when you're spoken too.

Answer 14

my mom is like that too

HELP lol.

Answer 15

I admit that sometimes my being rude causes it. So how can I talk to her without her flipping out?
