i have always had a great relationship with my mom but lately its been getting so annoying. if she tells me to clean up every little thing in the living room, i dont yell at her, i just mimick her in my head and do what she says. shes always complaining about how hard her life is, and how we have no money (which i have heard since i was waaay too young to worry about money), and she even complains about how much she hates coming home to this house everyday. sometimes i get realy angry and i say some sarcastic comment back and she starts going off about how hard her life is and how i shouldnt talk to her like that. it just makes me feel guilty for saying anything at all.

Surprise your mom with making dinner for you guys then Sit your mom down for a heart to heart talk! tell her how you feel but in a nice way... tell her its not nice to hear negative things from her all the time, tell her that complaining doesn't help (because you have heard it almost all your life and things are still the same, nothing has change so complaining didn't help you guys get a new house or more money ect.) Ask her to try to be positve for your sake! try to make her see some things she can be greatfull for.. maybe she is depressed...
Hope your mom try's for your sake to be more positive! And goodluck!

The trick is to think of her like a cartoon character. [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]
