There, I said it.
I only have to see her a few times a year - because of my kids - but man, even that takes some serious effort. Ugh. |
|
why can't you stand her?
Mine is annoying as hell and I even blocked her on facebook. |
| I have a really, really hard time being around my mother too. |
She's just a total jerk. Just un-friended her (again) on FB. I find that the longer I go without seeing or speaking to her, the more I'm just ok with it. But then we have to visit (b/c of the kids), and it's back to square one. If I could just cut off contact completely & not have to stress about seeing her again, I would be fine after a couple of months. |

Please, get in line.
I heard that from friends, too. Typical Mother-daughter relationships that may change as we grow older.. I am waiting for my turn.
|
There's a difference between "typical" changes in relationships over time and not being able to stand being in the same room with someone. I don't speak to my mother at all except for the 3-4 times a year that I have to see her, and even then, it's impossible to have a conversation. I don't think that's a "typical" mother-daughter relationship. |

I visited my mother while PG with twins and had to go on bed rest...she kicked me out of her house because she didn't like my "ungrateful" attitude (meaning that I didn't thank her enough for letting me stay a few days extra, apparently).
But then at our next visit (much much later) things were fine. It's that way with her...nice, nice, nice, CRAZY FUCKING INTERLUDE OF PSYCHO, nice, nice, nice. It's so hard to deal with that I have limited my time with her but can't cut her out entirely for my kids' sake (she is always nice to them). |
Me too. I've actually just mostly stopped talking to her. I'll talk to my dad when I call and my mother never calls me anyway. She seems my kids a few times a year, but that's it. I'm with the OP. I can't stand being in the same room with my mom either. |
I don't know ho I hate more - my mom when she is nasty and selfish (most of the time) or people who can not accept that not all mothers are either like theirs, or even nice. Of course, I'm not up anyone's a**(MIL or mom) for money, so that makes life a LOT easier
|
I did this to my dad, it was so liberating! I'm done and forever and I'm a peace knowing that we will never talk again on this side of life. |
| For those of you who can relate, what do you hate about your mother? I ask this as a mom of a daughter who wants to avoid making similar mistakes. |
| Everytime my mom is around, I find myself whispering to my 3 year old, "I promise to never be crazy and drive you nuts when I'm older." |
| This thread is so sad.. My question is, "Does this upset any of you that you are not close?" |
