Question for Moms? :(

Question

When my mom got home, she didn't look stressed or anything, but when I told her how my day was she told me not to talk to her.

ALL I SAID was that my classes weren't challenging enough. I wasn't like, "Moooooooooom pleeeeease change my classes mom mom mom mom," She just said she didn't want to talk to me.

Not in the calm way, either. She said it like a mean-spirited high school girl with only one desire -- to exclude someone, or something like that. She said it as if she was irritated and annoyed. I'm really hurt right now and it puzzles me, because I get crazy good grades is reading, writing, and science, while I constantly sink in math. Whenever something like this happens she either cleans like crazy, or calls my dad and complains -- how wonderful, I can't wait to see him come home... "Jess, why were you a b**** to your mom?!?"

This isn't the first time either.... she was ALWAYS more proud of my sister, and always told me to be like her. These things make me want to cut my wrists, or something like that, but I could never bring myself to it.

Answer 1

don,t cut your wrist write mom a letter and tell her how she makes you feel express your feeling tell her how she makes you feel when she compare you with your sister and you try really hard to do what you need to do in school.if you need to get some tutoring for your math be open with her,remember she loves you a lot maybe she was having a bad day.remember its never a excuse for a person to be mean to you because you are having a bad day but just assume she did  have a bad day forgive her,and talk to her;like i said if not in person write her.good-luck

Answer 2

Adults need space too. This doesn't mean they love you but generally means they are dealing with issues in their head for a while.

Answer 3

well you would have let your mom take a breath or so... or have kept some special things and conditions ready for your mom.. anyway why don't you talk to your dad directly when you know its not the first time and mom does get frustrated?? good luck now...

Answer 4

Sounds like your mom may have other problems that she has to deal with before she can talk to you.  Maybe she had a bad day, but as a mother myself I would never be like that to my daughter.    If she does not appear stressed or angry when you approach her maybe you should talk to your school counsellor and see if he/she can help you out in some way.  Good luck and sounds like you are on the right track with your grades..so keep up the good work!

Answer 5

maybe something pissed her off and doesn't want to deal with anyone at all and you going up to her asking her something isn't the best time. but she should acknowledge you and at least tell you not right now. come to me later. I'm sure she is proud of you with your grades and doesn't mean to compare you to your sibling. if anything she is acting a bit immature and should act her age. talk to you dad about it and see what he says other than that ask your sister for some help if there is something you don't understand.
