My rude mother

3 Comments

Okay so at times my mother is quite caring in that she does laundry and buys me things. However, once she becomes irate, there is no stopping her. She will babble on and on about how she is a slave and then will take away my phone (which is the only thing i use) even if i havent even done anything. Whenever my mom asks my brother to do a chore... he doesnt. So she just starts yelling at me to do it, but she does not even confront him about the subject. Just now she was banging on my door with a piece of wood to take away my phone cause my brother was too lazy to do the dishes. Now that she has it she keeps yelling how she will never give it back. My brother remains in his room pretending his hand hurts. Keep in mind im the youngest. I dont know what to do, this isnt fair..help.

    Normal if your mother still lives in the mid-1950's! I grew up with that sort of bullshit back then, that my brother didn't have to do household chores because he was a boy. Ah well, not all bad: that attitude and similar ones made me a feminist before I'd even heard of the term!

    You're right, it isn't fair but I don't see what you can do about it if you're not able to leave home yet. It might help if you keep a record for a week or fortnight of the chores you do and the chores he does, show it to her in a calm non-confrontational way and ask her if she thinks it's fair? A question can often open up more useful dialogue than an accusing statement, even though you'd be perfectly accurate to describe her treatment of you as unfair.

    Is there a father in the house and what does he contribute to household chores? I bet I already know the answer to that question ....

    Don't worry I go through the same crap here at home, expect it's not a brother it's my Mums boyfriend.
    As soon as I don't do something I'm lazy & I get yelled at about even the stuff he gets told to do.
    When he doesn't do it. It's my fault.
    When he decides to do something he's praised for it where I'm not at all.
