Mom can't stop her blabbing..


Question Posted Friday March 18 2005, 2:32 pm

My mom is the biggest blabbermouth of all time. She can't keep her secrets to herself. She can't keep MY secrets to herself. She tells everyone the details about my life. She humiliates me infront of everyone. She makes up lies to exaggerate the truth. I really don't know what to do. Should I just stop telling her things? I can't stand the way my life is out there and availible to anyone that wants to hear about it.

Definitally don't tell her anything that you don't want other's to hear about you. I also recommend you tell her to her face that you don't enjoy her gossiping about you and you would rather tell people certain things yourself (or not at all).

I'd do my best to not talk to her. Not tell her anything that you wouldn't want others knowing. It's not fair to you that she feels the need to share everything, but since you know she does.. you just have to watch what you say to her.

i no how you feel. my mom is the same way. just talk to her, ask her to cool it. she wont no how you feel untill you talk to her. with my mom, she went to far, and now everyone, including her, is expecting me to live up to the expectations that she created. so just talk to her.

Tell your mom this is annoying you. Ask her to stop. Tell her that this is making you feel uncomfortable. If she still tells everyone about your secrets then tell her you will stop telling her stuff if she keeps this up. But you should still tell her some things no matter what. I hope I hepled! ♥ good luck

Talk to her tell her that you dont like the fact that you go to her in secret and she tells everyone. Say infuture i wont tell you anything or i wont share my life secrets with you if you can keep them to your self. If there is something that is really important that you need to tell how about your best friend or 1 of your friend you can trust.

I would start keeping things to myself.When she asks why be honest about it.If she says she'll change tell her something unimportant and see what she does with it. If she blabs...say see this is what I mean and why I won't make that mistake again.

It's important to have your mom there for you to talk to so i don't think it's an option to stop telling her things and it would probably upset her as well if you did this. Therefore you need to sit her down and explain to her how embarassing you find it when she tells everyone your secrets. She probably doesn't realise you feel this way! just be honest- shes your mom and she'll care if shes making you feel uncomfortable. It'll be tricky but worth it.

She's your mother, you shouldn't tell her anything about your social life until she's senile so she can't remember what you told her.

lostinside answered Friday March 18 2005, 4:30 pm:
Like some others said, the best things would be either to A) confront her B) stop telling her things. Try talking to a close friend you trust, a guidance counselor, writing in a journal, just something other than talking to your mom, but still not bottling everything up. You should talk to someone, sometimes keeping things bottled up can lead to bigger problems. If you want, you could talk to me and I'll try to help you out.

Hope I helped!

Either confront her about talking to everybody about you, or find someone else to share your problems with that you know is going to keep it confidential.

hope i helped!

Stop telling her things. I know it's hard, but she is going way too far. Keep a journal (and keep it in a secret place so she can't read it). And if she starts telling a story about you, give her a taste of her own medicine and tell one of her secrets. That might get you in trouble, but it's probably the "right" thing to do. Good luck.

selectopaque answered Friday March 18 2005, 3:43 pm:
I wouldn't suggest not telling her stuff. It's pretty important to be able to have a comfortable, honest relationship with your mother.

But you do need to talk to her and tell her that if she doesn't stop, then you won't be able to tell her the details of your life. She needs to understand that it's upsetting you.

But, seriously, I think she's a pretty normal mom. She is proud of you and wants to show you off and talk about you all the time.

Soon, you will learn to accept it, and not get embarrassed over it. My mother has been doing the same thing to me for 21 years. As you get older, you'll realize that the things that embarrass you aren't as important, or embarrassing, as they seem.

Well, i would talk to her about it. If she doesn't listen to you, then just stop talking to her. I know you may love her, but enough is enough... Good Luck!

tell her how your feeling. or if you dont want to do that, just dont tell her stuff. if you dont want to do that either, maybe just tell her little things. like stuff you wouldnt mind if she told other people. try asking her to keep the little stuff secret and see how she does. if she can keep it to herself, start going back to the big stuff when youre ready! gl xoxo
