[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you can be honest with your mom: "Mom, when you say that, it makes me feel bad, and since I don't want to feel bad, that in turn makes me want to call you less often so that I don't have to hear you say that to me. I'd like our conversations to be positive, so that we both feel good about our interactions. Can you please just sound happy to hear from me, rather than laying on the guilt?" Maybe someone else has a better way to word this. My mom kept saying that to me, and finally I told her that she knows how to use a phone and can call me, too. And I also said what I wrote above. Now she doesn't say anything negative to me and our phone conversations are much more pleasant. Honesty HELPS mature relationships. If you want a mature relationship, then be honest![/quote]
