or is it just mine?

She gets worse every weekend.

She cries at the drop of a hat and YELLS at me for everything.

And she's totally irresponsible with my kids.

Today she was just gonna LET my 3 year old run out into a parking lot.

She goes off, and gets mad at me for stuff that's like, just totally retarded.

And whenever something good happens to me, or we get something new or something like that, she gets MAD about it.

Is this NORMAL?

I think a visit to the doctor would help

Its prolly her hormones messing with her..

First of all

I wish my mum was still around to do stuff like this

Talk to her about it when you get the chance, I mean oh fuck I don't know how to express myself but appreciate her that's all I wanted to say

yes, my mother is insane.

what is her "age"

Menopausal ? Hormones can mess with you bad just as in some teens when they kick in

suggest to her she sees a Dr

I agree with luv and Mach.

My mother-in-law is almost 60 and she is still suffering from menopause since about the age of 40!!!!!

PurpleJedi said:

Maybe she is having that.

But if I remember rite she stopped getting her rag when I was still in highschool.

Yeah. I'm not sayin' for a second that I don't appreciate her.

But I really do think she's crazy.

She was bad when I was younger but she's really getting unbearable.

Seriously, like to the point where I feel like telling her I don't wanna see her anymore.

Yeah, my moms nearing 60, and there's still one kid left in the house. Everytime my sister talks about moving, my mom gets all crazy. She also tells me I don't visit her often enough, even though I see her almost every weekend. It's not hormonal, I think she's just afraid of being alone, and losing the control she had over my sister and me. She's a single mom, so once my sister is out of the house, it's just mom and the cats. I love her to death, but its hard to have her still think she can run my life. I try to give her some grace though.

Pretty much the same thing here.

She lives alone now, and she's bitching that I never come by, but she sleeps all day, cuz she works at nite. WTF?

SureThing said:

Oh man, good luck! I don't know what I'm gonna do once my mom is living alone. I don't see anything wrong with helping my mom out in her old age, but at only 59, she's not exactly headed for the retirement home. She can totally take care of herself. but she's always playing the "senior citizen" card and acting helpless. It's pretty rediculous.

I really think it's a power thing.

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your mom. Did you try sitting her down and talking to her about it?

next thing you know, she'll be doing donuts in the church parking lot after a snowfall

i'd talk to her doctor Sure...there could be something organic going on that should be checked into.

I wish she would. She bitches about how I drive too, ofcourse.

im serious. it could be signs of impending dementia

My mom kicks ass. She has her eccentricities, but shes cool as all get out!

A former girlfriend's mother drove my ex crazy, as I recall. She was aging and extremely old-fashioned; my g/f was extremely contemporary in a Carrie Bradshaw kind of way (no wonder we didn't last) -- all of which fueled her mother's mania. Momma didn't break us up, but she sure didn't add to the appeal of potential in-laws. they were nice, though, deep down.

My mom has always been fairly rational. And, when she's not, it's when she's being hard on herself for something that's not her fault. She's the sweetest. Mothers, in most situations, are blessings to have around.

i totally relate to your comment that if you get something new ... she gets mad ... mine does this all the time.. it all revolves around money to my mother and she feels that whenver u spend $$$ on anything new .... thats "not necessary" is her fav comment ...

maybe it is the Pa air .... that fresh cow manure deodorant ...
