Is it normal that my mom is acting this way?

My mom recently got a new boyfriend ever since then she has been ignoring me. She doesn't make dinner anymore and she doesn't even work that much to be that tired. She works 2 or 3 days out of the week. I asked her to buy me some pants because I only have 3 pairs and 2 of them are badly faded and she said she will buy some new ones but she keeps putting me off to do I don't know what and I know she has the money to. I'm just very annoyed with her and I'm not jealous of her boyfriend. I honestly don't care if she's happy or not. I know that sounds mean but those are my honest feelings. When I was little she used to ignore me when she was with my ex-step father. I don't know how to deal with it I'm very angry with her behavior. This is the second time she's doing this. Is it normal? If it is then why do mothers act this way?

    You should talk with your mum directly about this. Don't get angry cause you depend on her. Just talk nicely. If it doesn't work, than take help from other family members or relatives. Hope this works.

    Your mother sounds like mine. When her and my dad were still together she used to do everything for him. Cook him breakfast and tell us to make cereal coz we're just kids, buy him everything he wanted and use the last bit of money on his smokes when we desperately needed it for bread for our school lunches or something. Give him aaalllll the attention and barely notice us. Then when they split up she spent more time with us, then she got a bf later on and started her crap again, not giving a shit about us, cooking dinner only to pack it up and take it to his place while we sat hungry at the table. Sorry but some mothers are just bitches. Just don't talk to her. One day she'll realize how much precious time she lost from you.

  • Well Energy is wright about me cooking my own food but I can't get my own pants or a job. Do you really think there going to give a job to a minor when there are more adults who need it? Oh and I've tried the dying the pants things but it usually wears off and leaves some kind of blue residue that get all over my hands and face and clothes.

    I think it's time to step up and help your mother out if she's tired.

    It's easy to just stand there and judge her but... you have the option of helping her too. And if you're old enough to work you might want to consider earning some extra cash for things you want.

    There's plenty of people who get part time jobs to pay for their own things.

    It's not normal-- you're her child, and therefore she has a responsibility to take care of you. But that's only the very simple answer. You really ought to tell her that you feel ignored. You two can come to some kind of compromise.

    Why don't you just ask her for the money and go and buy ones you like?

    If the only issue is her time then find another way - I'm sure you don't need her to be with you.

    I understand where Energy is coming from, but if you are too young to work, then you could maybe do the chores to get her on side long enough for her to part with her hard earned cash.
