Is it normal to not like my mother?

I know it sounds bad but I hate my mother too. Growing up she was locked in mental institutions and shes never been able to take care of herself. My father worked while she was always sick. She is an invalid. Then whenever I have a problem with my daughter, she tells him everything that I do and say to her so it puts a strain on my relationship with my father. I wish I can move out but can't really go anywhere until my daughter has graduated high school in another 18 months. I'm really sick of her and her pathetic ways. Plus she nags about everything and bothers me about coupons at 6 am. She also says the stupidest things. If I tell her something, she doesn't understand it. I know all of this is due to her mental illness but I'm getting really sick of her. Once my daughter goes to college, I'll be done once and for all with her and my father because then I can finally move out of this house. Until then, I'm stuck with them.

It's sure normal I know how you feel

My mom gets angry frequently, and about the most nit-picky things. We're also very different in many ways. She makes me defensive and readily indignant. But I've found a way to deal. I honestly think love is being able to depend upon someone for something. So, I've told my mom that I am always going to be completely honest with her. In return, I always clean up my messes. This is obnoxiously important to her, but, whatever, it gives me something to bargain with. I know she'll probably get mad when I tell her things she doesn't like, but I always know that in the end she'll still accept me.

My mother drives me crazy! I let her move in with me b/c she couldn't live anywhere else. I have to go 9 rounds with her about everything. She's destroyed an antique bed and bedspread. She let her dog pee all over the living room. She's always been this way. I grew up to be a responsible person in spite if her. I don't want to hear that all mothers are special crap.

Your mother is your mother is your mother, like no other. No mater what she is your mother. If you have no love for her at least have respect for her. Life is short and mothers don't last forever so be kind to her no matter what. Live your life your way, that is the gift she gave you but she is still your mother - don't forget that!

I used to dislike my mum because she was always said i was a huge disappointment.we never had much in common and argued almost all the time.shes dead now sometimes i wonder if she ever loved me..

dude, i think you need to talk to her about those things. i dont think its normal because a mother has to respect her child as the child needs to respect its mother. if she does something that you dont like or dont agree with, tell her what you think. Good luck.

I think it's normal. I love my mom but sometimes I can't stand to be around her. She's in that whole "I'm still attractive and cutesy and everyone loves me" phase in her middle age. She constantly lectures about how carbs and starches are evil and I should never eat bread, pasta, corn, or potatoes. She is also really tactless and tacky at times in the things she says in public and it can be embarrassing. She always means well and I love her, but usually I'm glad I live six hours away.

Your mom sounds really hurtful and annoying. If you haven't already talked to her about it, do so. She probably doesn't even realize the way she's acting. If you don't get through to her, just make sure you go to a college far away and get your own place afterwards =P Just remember, family members are our friends that we don't get to choose and we can't get rid of. Don't let your mom get you down. If you feel good in what you wear, keep feelin' good and if she wants to pretend you're not gay, just let her. You're probably much happier in life than she is.
