Alright so, my Mom is alright. She buys me everything and anything I want. She lets me go anywhere. I want to get my belly button pierced and she's making me wait, but that's about it. Anyway. She nags me like a normal Mom and whatever. But she goes on and on. Like she just doesn't shut up. Sometimes she'll explain to me step by step how to do something, like she'll tell me how to feed the dog. HELLO. I know how to feed a dog, just tell me to actually DO IT. And she talks really slow on purpose, I think she just likes to hear herself talk. She's the most organized person in the world and I'm the most unorganized person in the world so we don't mesh. She yells at me for things all the time that are stupid. I tried explaining to her that it bothers me. But she just gets upset and yells at me even more. I told my Dad and my Grandparents and they all tried talking to her but nothing seems to work. I'm not perfect, and I don't expect her never to yell at me again or anything but she annoys me sooo much. What do I do?
Additional info, added Friday August 5 2005, 8:28 pm: By the way.. this is an ongoing problem. So going to a friend's house won't help me. And I do have a good time with my Mom sometimes and we DO spend time together a lot. So this wouldn't help.
And no, I'm not a spoiled brat. By saying that she lets me do what I want, means that even though she does that for me it can't PROVIDE WHAT I WANT. I would rather be locked up and not have anything than have her be the way she is to me. So no, I'm not a 'spoiled effin brat'.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

what i did (and this might sound really mean) but i treated my mom how she treated me.. like i yelled at her for stupid things .. i explained things when they dont need to be explained .. and everything else just for a day. then she came in and talked to me saying why were you like that todaY!? and i just calmly said "because that is the way you treat me . and i wanted to show you how annoying it is"
maybe that could work. or maybe you could go to a consular. and talk to them about it .. and then they could talk to your mom.

I think most parents are like this, at one point or another. All parents get annoying. What you should just do when it gets bad is just walk outside & get away from her for a while. Or maybe you should just go to a friends house or something for awhile. I know you already tried talking to her and it made her upset. But i think you should calmy talk to her when she is in a good mood.
saminchels answered Friday August 5 2005, 6:39 pm: you should tell your mom that you try your hardest and just tell her how you feel. tell her that she talks slow and you dont like it and you understand what she says and she bothers you. good luck!

margarita_luvs_ya answered Friday August 5 2005, 6:09 pm: Yes I agree parents can misunderstand there children from time to time. But maybe she bothers and talks to you slow and alot because she wants to spend more time with you. Try setting a day once a month for you and your mom to hang out. Get to know her better. Good Luck.

GymCutiex27 answered Friday August 5 2005, 5:28 pm: Try avoiding her for a little while so you can get a little break. Then after that if she ever tries explaining it to you try walking away or just say that you know how to walk a dog. Then hopefully pretty soon she'll get the picture.
