I KNOW A YOUNG LADY WHO SAID..."I'm sick of my mother!" (693 hits)


Yes, the young lady did say that, but not in a negative way. She's a senior in high school and she said although she loves her mother very, very much she's sick of her. I asked her to explain ....She said her mother just snoops around her things, interferes with her relationships with friends and wants to know every detail of everything she does. She feels a bit overbeared by her mother as to giving and telling her what she wants, how she should want it and when. She still has a date curfew and has to call her everytime on the cell phone when she reaches her destination with regulary check ins. She's even been told not to go out of town to attend college, but the young lady insists "I'm not going to a local college." "I've got to get away from mom!"

Did I advice her? No. I just smiled and listened...something probably her mother hasn't been doing. Out of the whole conversation, she is a respectful young lady becoming quite a woman of her own means. "I love my mother".. she said.

Have you ever been there before?

Have I!! There is a time in every young girl's life where two women in the house is just too, close for comfort. Ha! I remember when I got my driving permit and then my license ...oh I was hot stuff!! It's just a stage or phase where we all have to go through before becoming adults. In nursing school, we studied Eric Erikson's stages of development and this is the stage where teens are having role confusion vs. role identity. Although they are looking like adults because of the effects of puberty, they aren't quite there yet to be able to make their own decisions and pay bills. Guess what? It means that mom and dad still rule and as I was told, "As long as you are living under this roof, don't work, and don't pay bills; you'll do as I say."

In other words I think you gave the reight response... just listen and smile. Ha!

I remember days like those! Of course it's about growing up and having your independence..only sometimes you'll still long for mom's home cooking and great conversations. You know there's no one in the world like momma..

I also remember days like this! As I grew older though, I thanked my mom for getting on my nerves and being snoopy because I realized she knew things that I didn't, had experiences that I didn't have and wisdom in areas that I did not. She never tried to keep me local even though I knew in my heart that she wanted me to stay close to her and I really appreciate that from her. Yes we bumped heads a lot but I believe that she kept me from a lot of unnecessary and harmful experiences which made my life a little bit easier. Of course I experienced what I experienced and I came into my own independence. Trouble still comes but I had a head start in how to avoid as many situations that were against me as I possibly could in this life but, I know I am in God's hands and still in mama's heart! @Jen Fad, I like your answer and you are funny!
