my mother is so immature!

it’s sad, really. you know how little kids do that, ‘yes, no, yes, no, yes, nonononononono haha i win!’ thing? she does that. she slams doors like the five year old i babysit, and she act just stupid in the simplest situations! just this morning i was using the straightening iron in the bathroom, and the only plug in is on ‘her’ side, but we do that all the time no problem. anyway, she gets all b!tchy and won’t give me any room, doing that thing to VERY purposely elbow me and bump into me when she reaches for things she’s not even using, just to do it. Its more annoying than anything, and i can’t even tell her what bothers me anymore because she’d ‘use it against me’ during her next little episode. how the he11 do i cope with someone like that? i can’t even trust her with important things in my life, because she’s got the maturity of a 3 year old, who i would NOT trust with such things. the only person i can really talk to about anything is my best friend, and she lives four houres away and works anyday shes not at school. over all, my best friend has more maturity than a 40-something woman. wtf is up with that?? seriously guys, do i just smile and nod and vent later or what? anyone else here know someone like that??

when she seems to be offensive to you, ask her, “Mom, what’s bothering you?” and if she says, “you are!” ask her, “oh Mom, what is it about me or that I’m doing that’s bothering you? I certainly don’t want to be a bother to you, MOM - I LOVE YOU!”

Woooow… That’s some serious immaturity. And I thought my mother was bad.
Usually my mother gives me the silent treatment, uses my father to pass any “important” messages to me, slams doors and starts arguements aswell. All this at the age of 62. Can you believe it???
I get by by just ignoring her. The count-down to the day of moving out soon also helps. =D

I guess all you can do is avoid her like the plague in the house or anywhere else for that matter? Really, there’s nothing you can do with a behavior like that because in her head it’ll always be “I’m right, you’re wrong”. So unless you’re cornered or she follows you when you try to walk away, I’m afraid you really will have to just take it. But hey, at least you’ll be satisfied with the thought that you’re more mature than her. =)
