Is it normal that my mother keeps on criticizing me , i being a female in my late twenties , (i still live with my parents ), she'll be like "I told you to clean your room " or "You should read so that your brain wont rot and you'll stop talking like a 6 year old " or " Comb your hair "or " Go walk !" (All in an annoying angry tone )
I've seen 90-year-old women do it to their 70-year-old daughters. Yes, it's normal, at any age.
Maybe she's irritated that you still live at home. It's not like you have your own apartment and she's calling you asking if your room is clean and your hair is combed, she's only saying such things because you're right there in HER house. I would say ALL those things to my kids if they were laying in bed, all disheveled, watching TV in a pig sty of a room...it's not criticism, it's pushing you to get off your ass, which she has every right to do if you're in her house.
Of course it's normal, that's what mothers are for.
Solution: Don't listen.
Better Solution: Move, and change contact information.
It's really annoying, but I think it's normal. My mom does that, too and I haven't lived in her house for over a decade.
Yesterday she gave me a lecture on how to talk and what to do to improve my self and my social skills .
I am sry she does those things. And there is a perfectly good explanation. She no longer has her little girl and has the idea that to keep her girl she has to bring back what she had when u were a child. She has just wanted to keep her girl and not admit that you have grown up
Well, I don't want to get on you for being that old and still living at home because the economy is bad and times are hard and everything.
That being said, even a five year old can clean their own room after they notice it's getting out of hand or comb their own hair when they think it's messy. You shouldn't be letting anything get to the point where someone else needs to step in and tell you that you're hair needs combing. You're an adult. That's just unreasonable.
I think it's a mom thing. They just want too make sure that you are headed in the right direction, even with little things such as your hair, some just tend too be a little more demanding & mean than others... My mum is lovely but her mum criticises EVERYTHING from hair colour too career choice too what we listen too music wise !!! X
Maybe it is because you are 26 and still living with your mom. For what reason have you not moved out.
"i still live with my parents "
You answered your own question. Their house, their rules.
They shouldn't HAVE to be telling an adult woman to clean her room, talk like an adult, or comb her hair
Maybe it's time you moved out.
