How Many of You Girls/Women Get along with your mothers?

Abyle, they could blame each other for everything. Maybe take some of the pressure off of you and me. LOL.

My mother's politics are so naive. She reads something in Reader's Digest 30 years ago, and THAT is the absolute truth. She does no fact checking, no research, she just relies on "what I heard" and I am pretty sure FOX news. Not just her politics, but everything. If one of her assumptions is challenged, she either gets weird and offensive or says "I don't want to discuss this. You are making my stomach hurt." (MY fault again........)

 

hmmm... my parents went through a realllly rocky divorce. all my life Ive had to hear my dad and brother tell me she's a crazy bitch and she never wanted us. Its really difficult because I secretly keep in contact with her and when I talk to her she's sooo lovley. I can tell her ANYTHING and she gives the best advice. I dont think of her as my mum. Shes emma. My best friend.
Its really horrable because I dont know who to believe. I think maybe shes right because my dads all 'normal' and emma's a groovy chilled hippie. She occasionally smokes weed and still goes to parties n raves. (shes 41- she looks about 25)
... my dads always saying that when they got divorced she chose the money from the house over the 'kids' (me n my bro)... but she says she wanted to have a stable life and to be happy.
they stood us outside in the yard and said 'who do you want to live with?' I was 5 and my brother was 6. Chris said 'dad' so I did too. NOT fair to put a life changing decision in the hands of kids that young...
ITS CONFUSING!!

Im fed up with feeling guilty for loving my mum.

peace x x x x x x

 

"Im fed up with feeling guilty for loving my mum."

Then stop! Seriously, it's human nature to want to have a good relationship with your parents even if they are sh*t heads. There's enough parents who don't deserve to have their childrens love for you to have to feel guilty about loving a mom who's not a sh*thead

 

my mom, i call her dee nice, that's her rap name...(not really but its what i call her) get along fantastically...most of the time.

of course there was puberty, and teen angst, when i'm sure i was a nasty little brat to raise and my parents probably couldn't stand me from age 12 until about 15, but we got past that. my mom has always been there for me, and i know that she will always be there for me.

i'm so thankful for her and all of what she gives me and has given me...and i make sure i tell her every now and then. she's one of my heros...she's a brilliant art teacher with a master's in art education and one of the most fabulous people i know...even though we are different in a lot of ways.

every now and then we will get in an argument, i'm in grad school and my stress level is usually pretty high...she's a full time art teacher and she teaches college classes on the side, not to mention she plans an arts festival every year at my old school and is on the board for a numer of community events, so she gets stressed out from time to time to. but we never get off the phone without saying i love you

she's fantastic and i adore her...

i'm thankful that we have what we have

my mom is a southern judgemental socialite conservative. no we dont get along. but at times we have our moments. i just wish she would try to have more of an open mind and stop caring ab the small things and enjoy her life more

 

My mother is liberal and she's a damn hippocritic bitch, but there are times we get along and there are times we don't. It just depends on the moods she's in and she's very moody all the time!

 

My mum was a hippie-biker-chick when she was younger, so she's as open minded as I am. We get on great, she's one of my closest friends. Yes, there are thigns we disagree and argue about, the most popular being her spoiling of my younger brother, who gets whatever he wishes at the drop of a hat. BUt there you go.

But otherwise, I can talk to my mum about anything, she's been a great influence in my life, making me into a strong, independant woman.

 

I get along with my mom for the most part... Except when it comes to her piece of shit boyfriend... That always starts a fight between us... Hes an ass and everyone except my mother sees that

 

My mom and I get along great that I am a mother too. Before it seemed as if we didn't see eye to eye but it could have just been the rebellious teen in me, plus she didn't approve of my choice of religion. But once I had my first child in 2000, our relatonship changed drastically. She and I now spend a lot more time together and she no longer disapproves of my religion she tolerates it. LOL

 

You don't have any family in England do you, because that rather accurately describes my mother.....could you be my long lost sister??

 

my mom and i have a come and go relationship, sometimes we get along somtmes we don't. If you would compare the two of us when we were the same age, so me, now, at 17 and her at 17 we would be completely different. I am outspoken, loud, political, i don't really care about school, i enjoy concerts, drinking and some drugs. My mother was interested in her work, and was always shy and quiet. She claims to have never of tried drugs but who knows.

She hates my pericings and we argue about political issues and current events but we are still mother and daughter and we don't forget that.

 

I wish my mom were how she was when I was little. She was the shit back then. Even only like 10 years ago my mom was still "normal". Before the church got a hold of her. Makes me sad. And people wonder why I hate the church.

 

I have found that my mom is much more strict on me now than she was when I was in my teens, she didn't start being so controlling until I went to college. My mom and I have always got on as friends but now we are still very close and act as friends, but I can't be as open with her as I would like because she disapproves of so many things that I do and believe. She also talks to me a lot about my appearance and wearing bras and how I wear my hair and such, but when we get over that (after the first half an hour of seeing each other again) we are back to acting like friends.

 

Yeah my mom has also changed because of the pressures of religion, it's funny because I was very naive and ultra-religious when I was young, and my mom really never talked about religion, until I asked her if she believed in god and she honestly said 'i don't know' now, and I know this is because of the people she works with pressuring her, she's always talking about sins and heathens and always telling me to go to church and crap, I wish she would just go back to who she was.
