Question Posted Sunday February 24 2013, 2:04 am
ok im 16 years old and im from Australia my question is why does my mum not listen to me or remember any thing i say
today i asked my mum when i woke up if she could take me to the shops so i could get a couple of things coz i was running out of toiletries and she said yea sure give me 5 minutes. so i gave her 5 minutes like she said and by the time i got to her room she was out and ready to go in to town and so was i and then she says to me can you watch the boys while i go and get some things from n town and then she walks out the door and takes my little sister with her. when she got back i asked her if she could take me into town and she said why didn't you ask me before i left and i said i already asked you before when you where in your room and she says no i didn't hear you. so i went back to my room and started to cry coz she never listens to me. i feel like she doesn't want me to do any thing except sit around and do nothing all weekend which is really boring.
i would just like to know what can i do to get her t start listening to me ???
i really want to fix the bad relationship between me and my mom

Well, it can be a lot of things really.
Memory loss (like the previous reply)
Hearing loss (like what you said)
Distraction
Figure out why she is distracted.
Maybe she is too busy and you can help her with some chores.
Maybe you should have a big calendar and write down the things to do and up coming activities.
Just keep your cool and get into the habit of reminding her stuff.
Create a schedule or a routine. Like shoppping every saturday, bills every thursday.etc..
Keep things simple for everyone.
As soon as you understand what is going on with her, you will be able to address the problem properly.
Take it easy and keep on thinking of ways to make life easier for you all!

Try leaving her sticky notes around the house or on important objects like her phone ect. so she remembers. You could try to get rid of any distractions whilst talking to her so you know she is listening. In the nicest possible way, has anything bad happend in your life recently or an ani ersary of something is coming up? That may have caused her to act this way if so. I am sure she loves you deep down, she is just taking her time showing it :-) don't cry - you are strong girl! [ ktsmiley1's advice column | Ask ktsmiley1 A Question ]
