I'm sure my mother loves me because I'm her (only) child. However, whenever I speak, she rolls her eyes and sighs. She snaps at me for no reason. She gives me dirty looks when I can't even work out what I've done wrong. Is it normal for her to simply dislike me?
Sounds to me like she's not that nice, and it probably has little to do with you. Find some self esteem, self worth wherever you need to. Do not let her make you feel bad about yourself. Do your darn very best to be proud of who you are.
this is not normal...your mother is disappointed in you. But it's not your fault, her mom was probably a bitch to her when she was growing up, and so she's treating her child the same way.
Dumbass its not like that.. When a parrent misstreats you then you stop misstreating ur own child. Cause u remember those days when ur parrents did those bad things and you try to not make the same mistae with ur own kid. But then the kid takes u for granted and thinks that he will be a good father. But then he is bad to his son and the cycle goes on.
Your mom's probably just like eveyone else. Tired of your shit. Knock it off and stop screwing around.
I would suggest two things. The main one is that your mum has depression or at least is very unhappy with life. Secondly, it could be that she is just not compatible with your personality....but I would say it the first one, because a healthy minded person will have the love and strength to love you even if your personalities are incompatible. I would suggest she needs antidepressants. I was like that often before I went on them and I love my daughter.
I'm sorry that this happens. Perhaps you should try thinking of your mother and just a woman and see her as she really is ? it might just be her personality
No I'm not redheaded :P
@Joybird your advice is very good but unfortunately that isn't the case. She is a single parent. I don't just talk about my life, in fact I rarely do- actually, she's always asking me things, so if she's not interested, she shouldn't ask. I also do at least 50% of the housework so that is not the case at all, but thank you anyway.
You've answered your own question pet! If your mom didn't like you, she wouldn't be asking you about your life and what you've been up to - coz she wouldn't be interested.
Dare I say that you may be imagining dirty looks and sighs etc? Maybe you expect her to behave like other girls your age but, trust me when I tell you, that she's brought you up and matured a lot in the process!
Let's reverse the roles for a second... How would you feel if you went out to work every day and all the money you earned went on food, bills, rent. clothes, shoes, entertainment, etc for (not only you) but for your mom too? Would you be happy to buy your mom her clothes or give her money to go out with her friends? Be honest!!! ;o) Yet, she does this for you - so of course she likes you and wants you to have a good life :o)
It is very unfortunate but not all of us parents manage to display how much we love our kids every minute of every day. (Some of us do try but ...) However, I can guarantee you that if you needed something major (like a kidney) your mom would be the first at the hospital, being tested if she could be a donor!!
She loves you dearly pet, and I don't think you ever need to doubt it.
You don't say what age you are of if your mom is a single parent. Please forgive me, but if she is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders and you are rabbiting on about a school pal or nail varnish or something really trivial, then she just can't help herself. I'd say she loves you very much but you're maybe too immature for her to have a sensible conversation with.
I teach kids and I say to them, "God gave you two ears and one mouth, so I expect you to listen twice as much as you speak." I find with teenagers, their lives are so full that they just want to share it with their parents, yet the parents have been there, done it all, already - so it slightly bores them.
If I was you, I'd ask about her day and LISTEN to the answer. Don't give your opinion on what you would've done etc coz it's not about you (for once). I hope you get it sorted pet. Make her a cup of coffee or do a few little things without being asked, then she'll see you more as a friend who cares about her. Good luck.
