When it comes to my mom, I do give all the best and respect...

You have done the right thing to respect your mother. You are also wise to be quiet instead of getting into argument with your brother. Perhaps you could ask your brother and sister in law if they like their kids to treat them the way they do your mother. Who knows this can make them change their attitude towards your mother for the better.

Hello Aira ! I can relate with this situation. Oh somewhat we are in similar situation. I am not mom's apple of the eye since childhood until now. I am dad's favorite but he was in heaven already. Despite not being the favorite , still i respect mom that much and not making me her favorite doesn't made me love her less ! I still love my mom very much though she boldly show unfairness and favoritism. I have accepted the fact , that some parents are really like that , we can no longer change that, just learn a lesson and continue loving her because nurturing me inside her womb is enough to tell that she also loves me thought not as special as my sister.

I am not a perfect daughter too, and i havee had my fair share of giving her headaches and some scares too. The scares i am talking about was when i had a boyfriend in my senior year of college. Mom was worried I might get myself pregnant so she was really always trying to know where i am and where i will be. I completely understood her and of course I tried to make her feel and realize i won't do that and break her trust. When it comes to my mother, I know that I will always choose her, I will always try to please her and try to make her feel that she is loved and respected. I owe it to her. She has sacrificed a lot for us, especially when my dad left us for another woman. My mom concentrated on work, all she did and think of was for the betterment of al of us, my brothers and I. She worked and strive to let us finish college so we would have better lives and would not have a hard time to find a good job and make a name for ourselves. I have seen her sacrifices, and this is why I knew in my heart I will always see to it that she will feel that we are giving back to her all her sacrifices and they weren't for nothing. Mothers are really wonderful. I am not a mom myself but I think I would know how I want to be and what I want to be like when I become a mother myself.

It is our responsibility to do our best for our mother because they are the who understand our weaknesses. I am sad because I don't have mommy right and only my father presently living with me. My father although he respect me much but sometimes I need to tell him hurty words so that he will be aware about his mistakes.

Any way I am glad to know that you had a good mother who supports you and cares you a lot. May your your brother and your wife see you a little cute child and this might be the simple reason why they advice you every time. Anyway Don't mind them, go up with your decisions but make sure that you have the full support of your mother. I don't mean that you have to leave the and don't respect your brother and his wife. Just act smart to the things. I mean that act like an one who hears them and who acts good to the things. So that they won't advice you any more.

a mom deserves all the respect in the world so do all our elders and parents.unfortunately some people dont care much about this.i think you do your part,you can't make your brother change and his wife can behave that way because she sees her husband do that,just make sure you give your mum the best,this will bring you blessing in future.

There is no one else other than a mother whom we owe much to. She was the one whom God used in order for us to come to this world. She deserves the most of love we can give. If you don't do that, don't expect your children to give you all the respect in the future.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Aw, that is so sweet of you and it is very touching when u said that u might not a be a good daughter but when it comes to your mother u try to keep her happy and content and i think it is a characteristic of an ideal daughter who is concerned about her mother. No matter what one is thinking about oneself but it is always our duty to respect and love our mother and father. What say?

I can understand your feelings as a daughter. Maybe you can talk to your bro and sis in law, and tell them that whatever and however they want to treat your mom is their problem and their own weight to bear on their conscience. But maybe with you around, they can try to avoid disrespecting her. Just when you're around or nearby because if they can bear to do that their own mom/mom in law, well, you can't. They're old enough and they know whether its right or wrong, soon they will also realize the error of their ways. When they reach your Kim's age, they can only hope some extra patience and extra courtesy.

I was the same way with my mom, she was truly my best friend. She will have passed a year next week.. I miss her very much. Take care there...

Don't worry about it.She probably doesn't feel disrespected.It happens a lot,especially with children who are a mother's favorite.The mother does not usually see the bad side of these children.Only the good side.
