Grateful much?

By kylie b - 25/05/2011 06:41

Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML

How dare you think of others first, OP!

If she needs your help that much she must be pretty unwell or stressed, so maybe cut her some slack. Still, it must be hard to not feel any gratitude from her. I hope things get better soon.

You are very nice to do all that for your mom. I am sure that one day she will notice and will be grateful. Just hang in there:)

Why do people always promise this. It's like they waste their life waiting for the wrong approval. The only thing Op needs approval from is herself. If she feels like this is the thing she needs to do to be a good human then that is what she has to do. She won't likely get her mother to admit she is wrong or that she appreciates it unless Op's mom is on some strong, family friendly medication. Don't promise people things like that just because you were taught to do it as a child. It's like a false apology.

Why didn't you drive yourself? It sounds more like you are taking care of eachother.

Either your mom is going through a tough time of her own (since you had to move for her) or she's been a monster all her life. In either case it's VERY nice what you're doing and whatever happens you are a pretty decent person. :)

Move back. I know you're trying to do a nice thing and help your mom- but it'd obviously not worth it if she treats you like crap in return.

I'm debating whether FYL or YDI. She had her chance at life and this is yours, so don't ruin yours for hers.

I would have to agree on being torn...but, I think it's a YDI. She had to know her mom was a pyscho, and to quit your job, leave your boyfriend, and move away from the coast. That's your fault for being stupid enough to move back home.

Okay so this is my thought. People move home to take care of family. Op had a life on the coast, if the mother wanted to be taken care of then OP should have said, its either you move or you hire someone to take care of you. Why would you leave someone who loves you to spend it with someone who sounds so nasty? And why is Op's mother driving if she is so ill that Op HAD to move out there to take care of her? It sounds like the mother is manipulative and came up with some fake illness or made whatever she had sound worse. The op sounds pretty young, not like in her 40's, and her mom might be 50 to 60 (My mom is) and my mom is still highly functioning, works, goes out with friends to parties and benefits. Maybe not always the same with everyone at that age but it sounds like the Op's mom has enough sass left to drive and talk back. Tell her you are moving back home and if she wants to come you will stay long enough to help her sell her home, have a yard sale and move into a Home Care facility where she will be take care of. Then move back to the coast.

Holy leapin' lunchmeat, Batman--- those are some mighty big assumptions you've made there.

You deserve it. Leave the ungrateful bitch to rot. People will say, "oh, but she raised you!" But you never asked to be born and raised, she did that all as a choice, so you don't owe her anything. Screw her.

I would leave. Your mom sounds like an ungrateful jerk.
