My mom has a problem with me being sensitive. Is this bad?

Question

I also have a twin. My mom wishes that she only has one daughter, and she told me this while I was eatting lunch. Is this wrong for her to tell me this? I think my mom wants me out of her life because she told me this. I feel bad.

Answer 1

maybe she was just having a rough day?

Answer 2

I'm guessing your twin is more like your Mom. Its not always easy parenting a child that is a different personality than you. My eldest is a very sensitive child and it makes things hard at times. Not because she's a bad kid (she isn't), but because she handles and copes with things VERY differently than I do. Instead of getting upset with her, just love her and be proud of who you are. I love my daughter the way she is. One day your Mom will see all the wonderful qualities that make you special.

Answer 3

:[ thats not very nice. I'd feel bad, too. Confront your mom.

Answer 4

hmm i dont think that she should have said that if it makes you feel bad. maybe she was having a hard day and was stressed out from cleaning up after you two and maybe just meant in general it would be easier to have only one child. if you feel upset about her comment ask her what she meant by it. and its not bad that she doesnt like you being sensitive maybe she just doesnt like that you get upset about things and doesnt want you to be sad about little things.

Answer 5

You should probably ask her what she meant by that.  My daughter took offense for years because I told her, or she overheard me say, that I had never wanted children.  She missed out on the part where I said 'but I am really glad that I was given some anyway, because having her, and my other children has made my life so much better than the one I planned for myself in the beginning'.

She could mean something entirely different, have been joking, or been having a really bad day, or moment and said something she doesn't really mean.  Or, she could have meant that she likes you better than your sister, which isn't really a good thing to say, but who knows?

Anyway, only one way to find out, and that's to ask her.  Wait until she's in a good mood.
