Question by Vee: HELP! MY MOM GETS MADE SO EASILY?
this isn’t the only time, but here’s the most recent. it literally just happened a few minutes ago.

my friend is coming over in like twenty minutes, and i was looking for a snack.
mom: do you want some meat?
me: nah, ill just eat when my friend comes over.
SHE FLIPPED OUT AT ME.
she was like “i don’t have enough food for your friend!!!!”
me: you’re making food right now and shes coming soon. i dont want her to way.
^^^i was completely calm when i said that
she was like “I DIDN’T RAISE MY VOICE AT YOU. DON’T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT.”
i was like “mom. i didnt raise my voice. i was merely explaining.”
and she was like “I have to cook. i have to clean. you know what i’m not making you food.”
i was like “mom! I didn’t say anything!” < she was like "you get mad so easily!!!"
i actually wanted to be like "youre the one to talk," but i didnt.
then she was like "I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE. YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY FOOD."
i was like "ok, fine!" then i went up to my room and closed the door.
then like a minute later, she burst open the door and chucked my backpack in my room, almost squaring me in the face.
i was like 'MOM! WHAT THE HECK?"
she closed the door and went back downstairs.
WHY IS SHE DOING THIS? seriously shes acting like a pregnant woman!!!! (shes not pregnant). she like flips out at me all the time and i dont even do anything.
i mean, im mad at her because she banned me from going over one of my friend's house (long story), but im trying to let that cool down becuz she told me only a few days ago.
but yeah, why is my mom being such a b*tch???? were normally so close!

…menopause? Is your mother between 45-55? That’s usually when it starts and it’s like having PMS for a few years. I was born (thankfully) after my mother had gone through it, but my siblings remember her crazy mood swings. It can be rough.

That’s really all I’ve got. :/

    well
    for some reasons mom like when you say you were wrong and she might just be having mood swings
    just try to stay out of her way
    she also might do that because she wants to make sure your friend doesnt get a idea or think something

    tell her to chill the hell out say i know your not my slave but this is to much you need to calm down because its not very pleasant hanging around with you when your acting like this say that if your going to be so violent all the time then i don’t think we should talk anymore

    Sounds to me like PMS but it could also be a reaction to something that has happened in her life. My mom does the same thing but she has bipolar. I think you should talk your mom into seeing a psychiatrist!!! It WILL be HARD to convince her but in the end it is sooo worth it. Just explain how much stress this ias putting you through and tell her that you think she should see a doctor. Hope I helped you.

    My mother is the same way, but she is going through menopause and is a alcoholic but the best way to let her vent is to give her a moment, apologize and tell her that you love her and that you didn’t mean to upset her and that if she needs help at any time, you will be willing to help around the house.

    period? menopause-either way your mothers hormones are all out of whack-she will be on an emotionall roller coaster i’m sure for awhile. Also, maybe something is going on in her personal life, ya know? every woman gets emotional and i’m sure she wasn’t doing this to hurt you, just give her some space and try to deal with it until she cools down then try to talk to her about it.

    You can’t just eat in front of your friend without offering her some too so maybe your mom didn’t want to feed your friend too. sounds like she’s stressed out. cooking for you and a friend would just add to the stress.

    My mom is exactly the same way, maybe even worse.
    The best thing to do without getting her more angry is suck it up, do what she asks..
    Hold in your anger, don’t end up like her =P
    And right when you can, move out =)

    HEY SHE MIGHT JUST HAVE ALOT ON HER MIND? FINANCIAL PROBLEMS? WANTS TO SAVE FOOD ETC

    SHE ON HER PERIOD? GET REALLY BAD MOOD SWINGS WHEN ON PERIOD

    DO YOUR FRIENDS COME OVER ALOT? MAYBE SHES FED UP OF THEM COMING ROUND

    MAYBE SHE’S FED UP OF PEOPLE TAKING HER FOR GRANTED? NOT APPRECIATING HER? SHE WANTS TO COOK WHEN SHE WANTS TO NOT WHEN YOU WANT YOU (CLICK YOUR FINGERS AND SHE WILL MAKE YOU DINNER- LIKE A SLAVE DOES)

    IS SHE DIVORCED? MAYBE BEING ALONE IS HURTING HER AND SHE WANTS SOMEBODY TO LOVE HER

    SOMEONE DIED IN THE FAMILY? BANGED HER THUMB/TOE/FOOT ON SOMETHING? YOU GET REALLY MAD IF YOU HURT YOURSELF X

    HOPE HELPED :D MAYBE TREAT YOUR MUM OUT FOR THE DAY? PAMPER HER? THAT WILL MAKE THINGS BETTER! HOPE I GET BEST ANSWER!
