To some extent, it’s her JOB to guide and protect you. It’s not only a legal requirement, but it’s genetically programmed. You will do it for/to your children some day as well.

You don’t mention how old you are or what things you do that drive her crazy.

If you’re 18 and she wants you to dress like a little girl, or tries to make you go to a church you don’t believe in, or demands that you eat supper at home seven nights a week, she may indeed be overly controlling.

On the other hand, if you’re 12 and you want to dress like you’re on your way to work in a brothel, or drop out of middle school to run away with a 28-year-old drug dealer, or get a satanic cartoon on your cheek, I’d say she’s perfectly within her rights to lay down the law.

She can’t stop you from making ALL mistakes, but she sure as hell can try to protect you from some of the more damaging ones

Can you share some details?

all moms are crazy. just agree with whatever she says and then do whatever she asks you to do and then do your own thing. thats what i do. if she doesnt exept oyu then thats wrong in her part but wheni go to school or lock myself in my room i am who ever i want to be. so basically, all moms are CRAZY! and my mom is cuban, so she can explode whenever she feels like it.

Ok so ive had some back issues and my my being a former nurse is asking me what I am taking. She got really weird when doing this and wouldn’t look me in the face and would only look at my dad, I’m sure she was rolling her eyes, it’s hard to explain but she does this all the time. Then she is asking me what supplements that I take and starts getting all anxious and telling me that I shouldn;t tkae what I am taking. I proceed to tell her that I need to take it and that I decide what goes into my body . The next thing I know she runs out of the room crying. WHAT THE ****!!! She crys in the bathroom for about 5 minutes then comes back and will not even look at me. I should let you they are at my house at this time and I am 28 years old with a 2 year old daughter who I don’t want to see grandma crying. I tried talking to her in the kitchen when my dad was with my daughter and she tries blaming everything on me in her weird twisted way. I wish I could describe how ****** up this situation was. I refused to cry and asker her to please stop crying so we could discuss why she felt bad like normal adults. Im not sure if I said anything wrong, Im sure I did because I cant be totally right. I dont think that way. So then my parents left and she said goodbye to my daughter but wouldnt even look at me. GROW THE **** UP!!! I never ever ever want to make my daughter feel how ******* weird and crappy my mom makes me.

My mom doesn’t want me to wear cool artistic cloths like dragons on them or skulls which are very artistic or any good looking art… she’s ****ing crazy and making me go nuts more than beyond !!

She says they are Satan’s Signs and they’ll be bad for me, she just won’t ****ing learn to grow up and face the fact that this is the 20th century and not the medieval times…

When I say she’s being over imagining things and being too superstitious… She Goes Ubber ****ing crazy and Starts Yelling At Me So Loudly And To Go Die Somewhere…

Just saying…Your mom’s are not crazy. Your mom is just protecting you. In fact, I think you guys are crazy for thinking your moms are crazy. What hasn’t your mother done for you? Just because she gets a little emotional and protective does not mean that you hate her or that she is crazy. Grow up and people over here…stop cussing!

I understand that mothers protect you and whatnot. Yes, that is their job, from a scientific point of view. But at the same time, mothers can be harassing, argumentative, wild, and they can be so critical to the point where the child’s self-esteem is in serious danger. A lot of times mothers just lose themselves, they don’t know who they are, so their only purpose is to nag their husbands and children. I think women need to get it together, especially since they know deep down in their hearts that they really are crazy. Can you say menopause? When I get old I’m going to make sure I do Hormone Replacement Therapy. Seriously. I don’t ever want to be like my mother. Yes I do appreciate what she has done, you know, the motherly duties of giving me birth and cooking for me, but she has not been a very compassionate person to me, only critical. I can’t talk to her about my problems. It feels very lonely, not having a nice mother to come to whenever I need comfort. Not all families are perfect, remember that.

The way I see it is… this is just biology. Good families sprout from good parents who understand what it means to be a psychologically healthy family. Just because you accidentally get pregnant and deliver a child does not make you an honorable mother. We’re all here by chance. I never requested to be born. Parents need to understand that parenthood is a lifetime job that always requires oversight, checks and balances, and constant cultivation. Otherwise, the children feel really resented and the child-parent bond is broken. Parents also need to respect their children, many times they forget that we’re all just people.

I’m over it though. I didn’t ask for my messed up parents, and it’s not my fault that they’re too prideful to go seek professional help. I’ve done my part, and I’m ready to move on with my life.

Think about all the orphans out there who become successful people in society. Think about how any human being is capable of anything if they just believe in themselves. To all the children who are having a hard time with their parents, just remember that it won’t last for too long and that the most important relationship is the one between you and Father God.

queenvictoria is right. It’s hard to believe it, but as long as you trust God you will never feel alone, talk to HIM anytime without making a show, just thinking is good or in private. Just remember to respect your parents no matter what even if they “are crazy”. And if they don’t want to have a healthy relationship with you it’s not your fault. At the end you will end up growing up and leaving your house. So stay focus in your education/career to get out asap, peacefully.

I’m a high school senior and my mom is driving me crazy slowly. She has ABSOLUTELY NO TRUST for me over something I did 2 YEARS AGO!!!… I’m turning 18 soon and I just can’t take it anymore. She controls every aspect of my life and is constantly criticizing me and comparing me to others. Just because she made mistakes in her life she tries to shield me from everything..she wont even let me get a job because she doesn’t want me to be “stressed out”. I don’t know what to do anymore…and i guess she means well but she really is smothering me…I just got into a fight with her over the fact that i chose to walk home instead of waiting for her…She thinks I’m lying to her about where I was and refuses to believe that I didn’t do anything wrong. I can never talk to her about my true feelings because every time I try it blows up into a fight. She doesn’t understand me and always insults me in arguments…I guess this is really random but i just needed a place to vent because I don’t feel like I could talk to any of my friends about this.

You think you guys have crazy moms? You should meet mine, my mother is physically attracted to me and sometimes stares at my penis instead of looking at my face, in fact one time she said the word “penis” instead of peanuts, and tried to cover it up by laughing… My mom is so crazy that she paces the room looking for things to clean, my mom is so crazy that when i go upstairs to get food during the night she wakes up and shows how pissed she is just so i dont go up for food anymore, my mom is so crazy that she talks on the phone for hours about other peoples problems instead of her own, my mom is so crazy that she thinks that weed isnt GOOD for me, my mom is so crazy that she is a whore, end of story. Oh my mom is so inconsiderate that she blabs for hours on the phone when im trying to sleep, oh my mom is so crazy that she sits of facebook all day chatting with other men trying to get money, my mom is so crazy that she doesnt trust me, and most people i know say im a very trustworthy person, my mom is so crazy that when i say shes crazy she starts yelling at me about some ********. You think you have a crazy mother? Meet mine! SHE WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS IN ONE DAY! AND IVE LIVED WITH HER FOR 18 YEARS HELP ME PLEASE I NEED AN ESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow after reading all these comments I never thought So Many People Had Problems with their Mothers.
Mine is a Serious Psycho. Shes been trying to get my sister and i and my brother to go against my father. Shes constantly accusing me lying, she never believes me, Shes stalks my every move, She controls my entire LIfe and im 19 years old. I work and have my own money and have never asked her for anything. I went and bought myself a nice GUESS shirt, she sees it goes ballistic and makes me return it. She Recently Stalked my Boyfriends Facebook, came home and accused me of lying to her meanwhile she is FUll aware that i have been dating him for 2 years now. She saw a Picture of me Hugging him and ALl hell broke loose with her. She started SCreaming at me yelling at me that Im a Liar and its been Days since shes Spoken to me. Ive apologized to her almost a million times crying and telling her im sorry, and here i am thinking WHAT AM I APOLOGIZING FOR? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? She tells me what to wear, shes forcing me to go for Optometry, SHe controls who my friends are and if god forbid she doesnt like them she makes me stop talking to them, and now She’s going to tell me Who to love? I Cant stand her. I hope all you people know you are NOT Alone. I needed to write this and i feel great posting it up. Mothers are insane and i pray to god that i wont end up like her and i need to get out of this house ASAP

my mother is also nuts. very controlling, lies about me constantly to her friend, family and even strangers (like if she looses something or breaks something she would tell someone that i did it. and when i ask hery why she does that she says ‘what’s your problem?? it’s not a big deal’ and that i need to grow up and not be so sensitive). my mother told me that if i wasn’t her child, she would have nothing to do with me. i told her day later that it really hurt when she said that and she told me, ‘well, i’m just being honest’.

she walks in when i’m in the washroom (if i don’t lock the door), she has ‘borrowed’ $1300 from me and i’ll never see it again. she has taken so much money from me, cuts up my clothes and breaks my stuff if she doesn’t like them. she has hidden things from me, goes through all my things and makes me feel guilty for having the little bit of savings that i do (even though i am $30,000 in debt with student loans). with her, every day is an argument and it’s draining. if no one pays attention to her she walks around the house yelling at the top of her lungs and making noise saying ‘no one loves her and she’s all on her own’.

very narcissistic, controlling person.

i use to live with just me and my dad, she moved back in and now she is making us all miserable. she has plotted to get my dad arrested, peed in a pop bottle and put it in the fridge (i guess to teach whoever drinks her pop a lesson). i wanted to save up some money before i moved out, but i can’t take it any more.

she is nuts and sometimes i feel bad for her but she is really good at making people feel guilty or sorry for her. she uses it to her advantage and i’m stupid enough to believe her. i just need to get far away.
