Question Posted Saturday December 16 2006, 9:09 am
13/f -okay, heres the problem! I love my mom (of course) but me and her get into SOOO many fights, and I know its common for teens to get into fights with their moms, but she always starts it!! I will just say something, and she will think that i'm yelling at her and be like "rar!" and then i'll be like UGH and then we will just ignore each other for the rest of the day (sounds childish right? EXACTLY!!) Also, my mom is such a hipocryte (dunno how to spell that)!!! She will do the same things I do, and then i get mad at her!! CAN YOU PLEEEEASE TRY TO HELP ME BECAUSE I DONT WANNA FIGHT AS OFTEN WITH HER BECAUSE THIS GOES ON LIKE EVERYDAY!!!

My mom is pretty much the same way still, and I am 17. However, through the years I have realized that though I don't intend to, I do have a tone in my voice that sends the wrong signal. And I did it for so long, even when I don't have that tone, my mom still just expects the worst and yells at me anyways. Maybe you had that once? I am not sure, but if that is the case, continue with the way you are handling things now and eventually she will see. But other than that, you may hate this next few sentances, try talking to her about it. Maybe not right away, but find a time that you both are "calm" and just bring it up. Dont try and blame it soley on her, and try not to get deffensive if she blames it on you. Hold your temper and talk it out. Even if the conversation doesn't end as you want it to, she will more than likely see that you are trying to handle it in a mature manner, and maybe she will ease up a bit. Just don't give up, okay? I hope that helped. [ WishingRealist's advice column | Ask WishingRealist A Question ]

I have read your problem and i understand what your going through, and as you said, its just the typical mother/daughter fights that go on everyday in every house all around the world.
I have answered a couple of questions similar to yours before. So umm.. listen, first of all, i have to make sure that you know that your mom really loves you and cares about you and doesn't hate you when she fights with you, its just that you probably do some actions that get on her nerves and she probably does the same thing which annoys you. So all you have to do, is that when you come to talk to her,and you think that you are gonna start a fight, just shut up and don't say anything, just say okay and agree with whatever she's saying and just walk off and leave her. But do that in a respectable way and don't be rude about it. I am telling you to do this, so that she wouldn't get pissed off and would keep shouting at you and stuff. So just quite things down before a fight breaks out. Try to follow what i said for a couple of days, and you will notice that things would quite down between you and your mom, and try to maybe not do what you see that annoys her, and try to be much nicer and try to get closer to her and be put on her good side.
Just think of what i said and consider it, and if there is any other help or advice you need, please be free to contact me or leave your email in the feedback for further advice personally.Goodluck:) [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
