Question Posted Wednesday May 11 2005, 9:06 pm

Ok. My mom just had surgery on her foot yesterday and since then its like everything I do is getting on her nerves. Its like I can't do anything right anymore. And I understand that she is tired and hurting but I have been trying to do all that I can to help her and make her comfy without getting on her nerves but she gets mad at every little thing and she never says thank you or anything when I do something for her. Now its starting to piss me off. I know that she is not her normal self right now and is on pain meds and stuff but its like she has to complain about every little thing and she neverd 'asked' me to do something...she yells at me to do it.
I have been trying to just let it pass but it seems like its just getting worse and worse and I don't know what to do. A little while ago she fell on her foot and I heard her screaming and she never told me to come in there and help her or get her anything she just tried to do it on her own then she ended up blaming it on me....like its my fault that she wanted to get up and didn't want me to help her...I don't what to do...I feel guilty about staying in my room because she might need something but if I stay with her she finds something to yell at me for...
what do I do!!!!????

having surgury hurts! and she's probably frustrated that she can't just get up and do what she needs to. also whatever they are giving her for pain might be changing her personality a little bit. this is temporary...make it as easy for your mom as you can. you know her...what does she like? straighten her area a little...make sure she has what she needs within arms reach. tell her its perfectly ok to call you whenever she needs something and try to be cheerful and helpful... and instead of waiting for her to yell at you to do something...try to anticipate her needs and go ahead and do it so she has less to stress over.

before you know it your mom will be feeling better and she will appreciate your maturity and helpfulness. trust me...i'm a mom so i would know.

keep your chin up and dont piss her off...ok?

love louise

i know its bad now, but it will get better. surgery and pain meds can mess with peoples moods, but she will be back t her normal self soon enough. just take it, shes your mother and she put up with alot worse from you when you were a baby. it wont last long, but if you do something mean/bad now she will remember it so just try to be as pleasant as you can be and put up with her yelling at you, and next time she falls help her.

Try to help around the house as much as you can and although she says that everything you do is getting on her nerves it's probably because she feels incapable of doing anything for herself. Try to talk to her calmly about how you are feeling and that you are really trying hard to help her out but her constant yelling is only making it worse for not only her but for you as well.

just keep holding on I think the only reason why your mom is acting this way is because she's realy stressed out. If you realy feel like you're gonna blow up I think you should ask your mom...
Did i do something wrong for you to scream at me so much. I'm only trying to help but all you do is get mad at me for no reason.
try to get her a get well soon balloon or card with flowers.
Good luck
