Is it just me or as you are getting older do you hear your mothers words coming out of your mouth?

Oh My God! \n\nWhen I was young I ALWAYS swore I would never say or do the same things that my mum done and said to me. This morning I heard myself shouting the same words to my kids that I heard my mother shout to me 20 years ago and I got really scared. LoL

oh boy. sounds like me and my mom. I just walked away when she started to irritate me. Don't acknowledge her bad behaviour at all. But don't expect her to stop being this way. you will have to deal with it for the rest of her life. So just try and tell yourself that you will leave the house one day and you won't have to deal with her. Just try and remember to not fight back. Let her win. Even if your beyond right. Because she's only looking to argue. not win an argument. Ignore her critcisms of other people and just try to tune her out when she talks. That's your best bet. GOOD LUCK

shut up doesn't seem to be the right word to say to your mom.

You should just explain to her that there are some words that we say out loud in front of people and that there are some words we don't!! Just remember she is only 8--if you don't make a big deal of it then neither will she, she will eventually forget about-if you don't react--you reacting is telling her that it is one way to annoy you--that is why she is saying it! But I am sure if you sit her down nicely and tell her the difference between big girl words and not big girl words---PS your mom will start reacting when she goes to the school and says it-and she has to go in for a conference!! Good Luck!!! :)

It depends...I've been down this road with the "dears" and the "huns".  The only time I let that slide (sometimes) is if it's an older person...like 70s+ as they (most of the time) mean no disrespect and are just doing that out of habit for anyone young enough to be their children or grandchildren.  HOWEVER anyone else I will always let them know as politely as I can to please don't refer to me as "dear" or "honey", etc.  I ask them to please use my name when speaking with me.  I've gotten a few eyes rollin' or a quick look, but never had a bad comment or repercussion because of it.  It's just disrespectful I think to call anyone that - especially in a working situation.

Well I do not know your mother, but from the sound of it. It appears she is proud of you and your daughter and wants her friends to see how well you are doing. \nYour 42 which means your mother is most likely in her 60tys + which means life for her has less pleasures left. She is your mother and when she is gone, little things like this will seem like miss chances of memories to share. \nYou know she has no control over your choices but if it makes her feel like she is then what harm is there really. \nTrust me one day you will be glad you let this happen.

Most of them, yes. I am 28 years old and it took me until I was 2? to really respect what my Mom said and to settle down. Just always be there for her and reassure your love for her. Let her know that you love her no matter what and that she can always come to you. Don't let her get away with too much though. She needs (and wants) rules. Lay down the law in a loving and caring way and maybe it won't take her until she's 2?. I needed that and most young girls need that.:)

I went through that stage too. I dont really know how to explain it lol. I just grew out of it. Sometimes she still gets on my nerves lol. Moms like to be nosey and ask random questions and I think sometimes I was just like seriously leave me alone lol. Try to be patient. She loves you!

That's cute! You reminded me that my mom used to call it that. Now I am going thru my own and my mother has been gone for 14 years, it is good to be reminded of her cute and funny ways.\n\nThanks for a fun question. Oh, and in answer to it==> just avoid your friend's mom during her pause times and wait til she's on "play" again ;-)

I personally say mom/dad because when i speak, I'm usually speaking in a less formal tone.  To me, mother/father is formal and I am not a huge fan of speaking formal terms for it seems less personal when talking to a person.

Yes. \nI was sleep one evening, around 7pm (I worked late shift so I was getting my rest) and I woke up. I saw a lady standing in my room. I went to scream for my mother, but all that would come out of my mouth was this really sort of low sounding moan "Maaa". \nAt that point, the lady looked up at me. It was weird, because she looked exactly like my mother, except dead and a lot older. I then grabbed for my tv remote (don't ask why) and I turned on the tv. As the light from the tv began to come on, the lady began walking backwards and the further away she got from the me, the more she disappeared.\nI was then able to scream in a normal voice at which time my mom eventually came in my room and we talked about it.

Well it happened to me last night. I told her to get back to the retirement home and stop bothering me. I said that I'd be by to see her on Mothers Day but only if she stopped calling me more then once a year. That woman needs a hobby other then complaining. "The Nurses are stealing my money" "I have Bed Sores" and Blah Blah Blah

yes in fact my mother while I grew up always told me she wished I wasn't born and that since I was that I should of been a boy. (THAT HURT!). I don't know allot about my father, but I wish I could of been with him from birth on and not my mother. I do love her for she is my mother but I know she loves my brother more than I and I know my dad loves me allot. I am 35 and this is a true story!
