Mom, major attitude change

I hate everything now. Me and my mom use to get along so well. But now shes dating this guy and hes like the best but she changed totally. She never takes me and my sisters anywhere, she goes all day and gives only me a list of chores. Because of her I got kicked off the cheer squad cause I missed 6 practices because she didnt take me and cheer was my life that was all I had and now I dont have it no more. Shes been so cranky and mean latley. But when were at her boyfriends how. She called me and my sisters hunny !! And she acts like an angel. But when were not around him she scream at the top of her lungs and sometimes even hits us. What do I do? Should I tell him what shes really like? I dont know anymore

Answer #1

I think you should ask her why she is being like this and ask her why do you think you can live a wonderful life but we cant do anything and see if she has something to say to that and tell her that you dont like the way she has been acting and tell her this in a good way so she doesnt thank your telling her how to act but also understand that when you get a boyfriend if you already have one or not but if or when you do she will probbley see a change in you as well it only happends naturly I think give this all a think over and understand is doest his make you mom happy ?? hope this helps wish the best for ya girl

Answer #2

yes! talk to him or another adult you TRUST.

Answer #3

ask her why she is behaving so differently! she may not even be aware of it (believe it or not!)

just ask her what any of you have done wrong? but do it in a way that appears like you are trying to resolve the situation, as appose to aggrivate it?

she may also feel like ‘here is this great guy’ and she may, unwittingly be trying to make you seem like the ‘perfect family’…

you admit he’s nice, so she must be picking up on how accpeted this guy is, and myabe is such a good ‘catch’ that she may feel she has to ‘prove’ you’re the ‘pot noodle’ family..

just try and talk to her, ask her if there’s anything you guys can do…demonstrate that you like him too…maybe chat to him about how he feels (covertly)

gid, being a mum is hard enough at the best of times…not becuase being a mum is hard, but because sometimes we want the best, and are not entrely sure on how to achieve that result…being a mum comes with no manual, becuase every mum and child is different…communication is the key to ANY relationship, and yes, it has to be TWO way…
