What am I doing wrong?


Question Posted Tuesday July 22 2008, 1:08 pm

My mom is constantly letting my older brother who is 24 do whatever he wants. Let me also tell you that I am 21 so saying that he is old enough to do those things won't fly. I do well in school, he is lazy won't do anything. He convinces my mom to do his homework for him and when I ask for help she claims she doesn't have time. I work my butt off to pay my bills, car payment every month, and do what I can around the house. HE doesn't have to pay anything! He has two credit cards which he is not paying, a truck payment, and a cell phone bill. HE has a job and uses his money to buy cds. What does my mom do pays for everything of his and when I have a little trouble managing one of my bills, she goes crazy when I ask if she can pay a 10 dollar payment. She also say she will do something then won't when it comes to me but when it comes to Ronnie she will shift the world. He gets sick, she pampers him, when I get sick, she thinks I am faking. I am really sick now and she is making me go to work. When Ronnie gets sick, he can just call off whenever he wants. I a convinced the way she raised him, is the way he is. She ignores, never listens, and doesn't care about any accomplishments I achieve. I got a book published that will be going in the stores next month and she says "ok". Never says happy birthday to me but goes all happy for Ronnie.

sara is right. youre 21 and why are you still living in your mothers house? to hear her complain and make you miserable? you dont need that. you need to show her that you are finished with her and that you dont need to stick around for the ronnie and mom show because you are leaving. get your own apartment or house and just go. why do you even need your mother right now? what is she doing for you? making you miserable and thats about it. you can take care of yourself and by living in your mothers house, you are only getting weaker and not stronger.

if you move out, maybe your mom will miss you and will want to keep in contact with you and treat you like an actual daughter and not some horse.

i wish you luck and congrats on the book! if you dont mind, may i ask whats the title? i love books and i want to check it out!

what the hell. anyway. it sounds like its about time for BOTH of you to move out of your house. honestly it sounds to me like you haven't done anything that a mother wouldn't love. i'm not sure what is going through your mom's mind which is why i have no idea what to tell you about the way she is acting, but it sounds to me like you need a life of your own, maybe if she sees that you don't NEED her, she will want you to be near her. i really honestly don't know why she would be acting this way. it is very immature, and very hurtful for you. anyway the only thing i think you are doing wrong is sticking around to hear her complaints. also congratulations on writing a book! damn. that is huge! kudos love. <3 sara/19 :)
