Is this normal that i can't stand my mother

My mother and I live under the same roof. I love her, but can't live with her any longer. She drives me insane. We are two extermely different people. She makes comments about things, not caring about others feelings. And everything she does, how she eats, walks, breaths ect. makes me want to break everything in the house. All of my friends mothers get along with them and it hurt that there is no way we are going to get along. I attend high school and hate my school. She tells me tht she wishes I were like the other girls in my class. People are horrible, teachers are horrible, and the academics in general are horrible. I am stressed out all the time and she almost makes it way worse. She doesn't understand me. She doesn't even try too. For example, I don't eat red meat and she sneaks it into my food!I need to get away. I can deal with this anymore.

    When you are 18yrs old, if you're not already, you need to get your ass up and away from her while you still can. These kind problems can affect your mental health, and haunt you later on in life. I know how you feel, it's not nice to have invasive parents. It's good to love your family, but you should love them from a distance, if they make you uncomfortable. Move away now if you can, she's trying to govern you into adulthood, and that could end up being quite creepy, if you ask me.

    She is your mother, she doesn't have to TRY to understand you. She already does.
    Trust me...when you become older you will both calm down. You will both evolve and see things differently but she will always be your mother who truly loves you unconditionally and there are no words to describe this because saying I love you means nothing.

    A mother does not have to say I love you to her child - she does other things as a loving mother can only do. The day you lose your mother - when you see she is gone forever - is the day you will realize just how much she meant in your life and all this stuff that you are feeling right now is really petty and normal part of living.

    I cry every day for my mom. She was my world.

    it's normal for me too I can't stand my mom the way she talks or asks me about every little thing I wish shed mind her business. but I know it's outta true love, she won't be able to stop caring about me. I suggest you move out bc the longer you stay thr longer you will drive each oter crazy and eventually hurt each other emotionally.

    I love my mum but unfortunately we aren't able to be in peace with each other in no more than 2 days.
    We'll get along, someday when we live far enough so we won't piss each other of.

    So I think its completely normal (who hasn't ever had an arguement with his/her mum?

    I felt this way about my mum when I was in high school ( maybe not to your extent) she's like my bestfriend now. Couldn't imagine life without her!
    Try move out if u can and hopefully things will improve between the two of you.
    Also if she's putting meat into your food and u don't eat it for whatever reason, that's just wrong! Try make your own food so she can't do this too u anymore or tell her how bad it is and toi stop

    It is your problem to learn to deal with your family. You only have one set of parents in this life. Learn to get along, or you seriously suck

    You know what, I just agree all the time never argue and smile . Inside I think shut up or you don't know what your talking about . But that's my secret world. Mom just thinks how nice and polite I am
