I'm kind of upset, but maybe I should be, I don't really know right now, but I feel slightly angry.
Today, I wanted discuss a few things with my mom over lunch -- I asked her last night to come to lunch with me, so we could talk about things. She wants to hear everything over the phone but I suggested that I talk to her over lunch. She said she would call and let me know what time we could go. When noon approached and I didn't hear anything from her, I called and asked what happened. She wants to discuss everything at her house to talk, she thinks its silly to discuss things outside of her house. Usually, I wouldn't take issue to this, but I've noticed that everytime my Aqua Step-dad wants to go somewhere, she will drop everything and go -- seroiusly, I swear. If my Step-dad leaves her behind, she gets highly upset.
The fact that she will not go out to lunch with me has upset me only because this isn't the first time she's cancelled on me and suggest that I come to her instead.
This time ... I'm not doing it ...
My Mom wants to be more involved in my life and I want her to be more involved too. We've been working on this for a while but not without problems. Everytime I talk to her, she's always doing something else, so she's distracted and doesn't always hear the important stuff. Or, my Step-dad always feels the need to voice his opinion and come in all certain issues that he doesn't really understand. He can be super critical along with being negative and he turns most of the conversations into a "three-ring circus". Things have gotten better since I've moved out, but he still has a tendency to do that when he's in one of his moods.
So she's expecting me over but I will not go because ... I'm not sure what I'm feeling, but I know I'm don't want to see her right now.
lol @ SS Looks like we are both having problems with our moms. It much be a July thing hey?
Well, she claims she wants to support me but anytime I want to spend time with her, we always end up arguing over something stupid and I leave their house. So I thought about having lunch with her, if she can go here and there with my Step-dad, why on earth can't she have lunch with me? The place with like seven minutes away from her home and I was going to pick her up.
my mum is a Pisces too and i wish we do reach some common ground long before and since my Dad (a libra) married another woman.. she's changed i mean in a good way but in certain ways- she's even better of understanding my brothers more than her daughter.
Cappysweetie, my Mom doesn't like to spend her free time outside of her house and she finds it hard to go anywhere alone.
hmm.... tell me do Pisces mother being over protective to their children and sometimes even go overboard by determined what they should be or what they should do?
Thank you starfish225. I do think every mother is protective to their children regardless of any signs. You do want the best for your children but not to the extreme where they couldn't be themselves or being their individual or trying to determined their life not as according to them but to you.
Well..that's from my own experience living with my mother. She's over protective and wanted me to be exactly like her and always think she knows best yet she didn't like to hear what i am trying to tell her. When she knows that most of the time, i do know that i am saying the right thing.
This is the thing, I wanted to discuss some important things with her before August will be a huge month. I wanted to have lunch with her becaue I knew she would have to pay attention because there would be no distractions.
I think she's scared of that because whe would not be ablt to say, "Hey, you didn't tell me that. I told you not to talk when I'm busy."
She can't miss important stuff if she's right in front of me. Well, looks like I will not discuss my plans with her, I tried ....
Well I have a 17 year old son who thinks he knows everything and maybe he see's me as beign over protected and over board sometimes that bc I know what best for him at the age
My mom was protective of me, I appreciate it now but then it was so horrible, I couldn't do anything 😢
I did some things behind her back, I regard now because I understand life mire 🙂
I know, I have planned similar happenings: trying to get time alone with mom for a decent discussion only to end up..disappointed a bit. I made me stop sharing until the last moment if at all what I was interested in doing.
I am glad things have gotten better, but I feel like we lost so much time with the "flighty" nature that occurred back then, and at least you did try.
I'm glad things have gotton better too 😄 I think sometimes there are ackward moments with adult children and parents. They are so use to running the show and the kid/kids fall in line, when that doesn't happen anymore, the parents seem to rebel lol.
