My father is a well-off accountant, so, growing up, I was very privileged. My mother (who did not come from a very rich family) quit her job when I was a young teenager and became a helicopter parent. She often got angry at me (as mothers often do with teenagers) but she had a habit of calling me "spoiled" or a "spoiled brat" every single day, despite my being grateful for everything I had and was given. She meant for it to hurt, and it did and does. She still does it to this day. Is this normal?

    Your Mom kind of sounds like a cunt. People who feel like shit about themselves or their lives often try to make other people feel like shit, that is the truth. I know because I do it lol. But seriously she sounds like she has some fucking issues because wasn't her plan to make the best life for her kids? if she didnt want you to have these luxuries and have an easy upbrining she should have just fucked your dad, left and got on the dole and let you fend for yourself.

    maybe i am mistaken but i thought the concept of planned parenthood and many other issues such as going to college and immigration stem from the wanting to give your kids a better life than you had. maybe i am wrong.

    Sadly, it's normal, but that doesn't mean it is acceptable.

    Basically everybody else pretty much covered it. Your mom sounds jealous of your childhood, as growing up dirt poor is pretty rough sometimes! There must have been other things to make her miserable though, because I grew up dirt poor, and my childhood was still happy for the most part!

    What is a helicopter parent?

    It seems as if your Mom is very jealous of your upbringing. I am not a parent, however, sometimes I have to fight off the urge when listening to my friends, who got things like good health insurance, a car, a nice place to live, gadgets and shit handed to them while I have to work for it, complain about petty shit in their lives.

    I wouldn't pay much mind to her. Just so long as you are grateful for what you have. It kind of sucks to see people who have a lot more than me when I don't have much, but it sounds like she needs to learn to be more grateful for what SHE has/had. Sounds like your Mom might have some emotional issues and is not entirely happy with her life.

    Even though you are grateful, maybe she wants to make sure that you are very grateful because she obviously didn't grow-up in a rich family. I don't know how to explain this but, it could be that she doesn't want you to take what you have for granted. I don't know how she lived before she got married to your father but, maybe she has come so far by marrying him, therefore not wanting you to be someone who isn't thankful for the good life which you have, compared to the life which she lived before marriage.

    Why don't you ask her? There could be something else there that you don't know about. There might be a very obvious reason to why she treats you that way.
