I cannot get along with my mom and it's getting out of control! Before, we used to be really good friends. Now all we do is yell at each other. I am so sick and tired of this, and I want my mom and me to be how we were. What should I do?
Just try talking with her.
It's really great that you want to be close to your mom--and noticing there's a problem and wanting to fix it are the first steps to correcting it. If I were you, I would sit down with my mom and tell her that the way our relationship is going is really bothering me, and that I want to make an effort to fix it. I'm sure your mom loves you and would be thrilled to hear you care so much about your relationship. I'm sure she would be willing to do almost anything to make it that you guys can start getting along again. Also, while you talk with her, come up with ideas to get closer. Why not try going to a good chick flick that you can enjoy together? Then after the movie go home and talk about how it relates to your life now. It would be a great way to find out what is going on in her life and a good way to start telling her about some things that are going on in your life. I don't know, just some food for thought, I guess. It's worth a try. Good luck!! --Posted by mizzundastood04 04:07PM EST 12/27/05
It's fine
I think you should TALK to your mom--not YELL at each other. Tell how you feel and if she doesn't understand then chill at a friends for awhile, like for a weekend... --Posted by rockerchick2011 12:34PM EST 12/27/05
That's normal...give it time
Well, it was like that with me before... My mom and I used to be close and everything. Then I reached to my teenage years, and that's when my mom and I started yelling at each other. It's normal--it'll get better trust me! I'm 18 now, and sure we have few disagreements, but it's gotten better. Just give it time and be patient. It'll get better. --Posted by friends.com 12:22AM EST 12/27/05
Time Out
Well, my mom and I are real cool but we fight all the time. Sometimes you just gotta stop yourself, count to ten and breathe slowly. Then you calmly tell your mom whats up with you. I know it sounds lame or whatever, but it works. Just give yourself a time out... --Posted by purpleluda 07:29PM EST 12/26/05
its okay
I had the same problem. My mom and I were frends and then we began to fight. Just sit down one night and talk to her. Plan a day for just y'all to go out and have fun and put it all behind. Tell her how you feel when she makes you mad. It really helps. --Posted by cansas 10:46AM EST 12/24/05
