Problems with my mother

Salam sis,

Hope things are a lil better inshaAllah. I was just thinking if there was something you and your mom have in common? Something you both enjoy that you can build on? Sharing can help build stronger relationships. :)

wa'alaikum aslam.
 
Something we both have in common?....I dont really know sis. I really want to learn to cook and stuff but she has littloe patience and really does not want m hanging over her shoulder. She wont let me touch things in her kitchen if I suggest I'm trying to cook. Cleaning - now thats a different story. She wants me to clean the kitchen till kingdom come, and there is no problem in her mind with me cleaning it - just cooking is a big NO NO.

Everytime theres some time in our busy day and I try to talk to her or hug her, she just pushes me away - she says shes tired and to leave her alone. :(

I wish I could knit with her or something, but she is not up for it. Ive talked to her before, she just says she doesnt have time. Nevermind. Yesterday she was ranting on about how weak I am (because i was really tired when i came home) and was falling asleep on the floor. She said, "If you cant hack uni, dont do it! Youre like 'this', like 'that'. Are we forcing you? huh? huh?"She repeated herself aggressively like this for about 5 mins and then she wouldnt talk to me nicely because I didnt respond to her insults.

I annoy her. Because apparently "other girls" look after the home, cook, clean perfectly, look great all the time, are married, have kids, and go to work! Wow. Well, mashallah for them, but I cant pull all that off so well. She compares me to a lot of people and she just wants me to be like them, Miss Superwoman.
I feel so down at myself for this - I cant live up to her expectation. Its not humanly possible for me. Ya Rahmaaaaaaaaaan!
 
:sl:

I'm sorry for you...

i know how you feel...living under other people expectation....

Just tell yourself that...i couldn't care less what other people say...only Allah can judge me and i know Allah loves me for what i am...

:w:
 
^Thanks ever so much sister, I will try to remember that.
Today I accidentally spilled something and she got very angry with me. I was cleaning it up but I think I just got her at the wrong time because she called me an f****** b****** and a heap of other swears in a different language.

I actually found it really funny at first - I think because I didnt know what to do with myself. But later on I felt really sad that she called me that. I dont know what to do when she loses it like that - she's a volcano - she can erupt at any time.

I just try to remember all the advice given by all you kind people - and it makes me feel better. Thankyou all so much for that. Your advice has helped me so much I cant explain.

Jazakallah
 
Greetings and may you find peace in your heart anonymousGender;

Gradually you may come to believe this more for yourself; but always one day at a time on life's journey.

May Allah continue to bless you with perserverance.

you're very brave and patient and may Allah help you to find peace and tranquility in your life. :rock:
there are sometimes times in our lives when it seems that Allah swt has heaped all the troubles of the world for you alone and the burden seems unbearable, but these are the very times that Allah is closley watching for your reaction and you must keep in mind that it is a trial from Allah.
keep in mind the trials the prophets and sahabah went through and how much they suffered.

p.s

but patience, patience :) ....
