Why is it

Why is it harder to tell your mum bad things that have happen to you

Answer #1

It is hard as you probably don’t really want to talk about what has happened, and you also won’t know how to start the conversation. It could also hurt her, or you could eb worried about her reaction.

The best tip is to make sure you find a time when you can be with your mum uninterrupted (perhaps tell her you have something you want to discuss with her, so could she set an hour aside later if she is not busy) and try and get her when she is fairly relaxed and does not have much else on her mind. Then just sit her down and say whatever it is.

If you really don’t feel you could tell her then could you write her a letter that you leave somewhere she will find? Let her know you are worried/ upset about something that happened to you and explain what. That will give her time to think how she can react and hopefully she will sit you down and console you at the next available opportunity.

Don’t keep things in. Believe me, your mum will always love you whatever you tell her, and once you have said whatever it is then it will seem nowhere near as bad. It is just the waiting that will be stressful, the sooner you say it the easier it will be :) good luck.

Answer #2

Even with the best mother-daughter relationship, it’s difficult to tell.

I guess, as daughters, we feel that our mothers have some sort of expectation of us, and when something bad happens to us we feel like it’s our fault and our mother will be angry at us for it.

What you need to remind yourself is that if something happens ‘to you’, it was not your fault and you can’t be held responsible. If something happened, your mother needs to know…I’ve been through this scary talk many times, and even though it’s tough to do, you’ll feel better after…let your mother be a mom. Talk to her.

Answer #3

because you know it will make her cry and be sad and no kid want to make there moma cry or sad.
