When your Mother is jealous.

It's Saturday here and same thing, nothing special about it. I wake up at 12:30 pm and Brother already prepared my lunch. I had chicken curry for lunch and I also have a half cup of coffee. After having my lunch I went inside my room right away. Mother is on the sofa. When I got home after my confinement in the hospital, she let me sit in the sofa while she stays outside. It was 3 consecutive days. After that, I notice she stays on the sofa which is unusual for her because every day she stays outside. That means she won't let me stay in the living room anymore. I know she gets jealous whenever my Brothers will do something for me and take cares of me. One time she said she is not feeling well. Then my Brother knew she is just acting because afterward, she went outside laughing with our relatives and neighbors. My Mother always wants our attention. When I am the one who needs more care because I'm not recovered yet. How I wish I can hasten the time and live elsewhere.

She will never change. She always wants my Brother's attention. And whenever I will try to sit on the sofa to watch TV, she will be there also. That is why I go inside my room and never go out.

@JustBhem really, hija, she should not have been a mother. why, even dogs care for their litter, but not your mother. i think if you will be reborn, you won't choose her as your mother, am i right?

@ridingbet Yes, I want a Mother who never ceases to love and care her children until they have their own Family too. Unlike her, she said one time, she doesn't have any responsibility for us because we are all grown-ups. I don't remember she take care of us.

I am sorry to hear that she got jealous of you. That is one weird attitude given that you are sick and you are her daughter

@JustBhem sometimes some older people really find it hard to have a change in their attitude

@rakski I don't know is it because they are getting old and dry?

@JustBhem You can only do what you can. I spent most of my time growing up in my room.

@just4him I grow up in my Grandmother's care because she doesn't want me around to scold her why she keeps on going home late.

And as a daughter, I don't know where to stand because she holds most of the rights here in the house.

Hi Bhem. Your mother is unbelievable. She should be the first person who should be giving you the attention and not all to herself.

@mlgen1037 She likes to have all the attention just for her. My Brothers use to take care of me, feed me sometimes. And she likes to be like that too.

I don't know what to say to this. Maybe you just misunderstood her action. I know when you become a parent you will understand her situation.

She has an attitude issue so there is no way that we misunderstood her.

@simplfred There is no way for me to go on that way anymore. I'm sick. Very sick. Maybe I don't understand being a parent but regarding my Mother's situation, I do understand her. She is not a good Mother ever since for us. Sorry, it's too long to explain it. Let just say, there are some bad people.

@JustBhem like I've told you, you will realize everything when you already entered parenthood.

I can feel your uneasiness about living in that house. Why would a mother get jealous of her daughter when being taken care of by her brother? She should be happy she will not have to take care of her but her brother already. Maybe you should talk with her heart to heart?

@JustBhem Maybe you two are not used to being cuddly and warm with one another. She is old so she wants attention from the both of you.

I tried that but she won't even listen, she will just jerk away from you. She has an attitude that you cannot understand. I don't know if it's because she is old and dry?

@SIMPLYD If she did that a long a time ago with us, it would not be a problem for my Brothers are the sweetest. They take care of me, while Mother will always ask for them. I don't need to ask my Brothers to take care of me because they always doing that to me ever since. That because they know I respect them and I do take care of them too. Mother is always irresponsible ever since. She only takes care of herself. Only think about herself and not the welfare of my Brothers. Look where my brothers now? They have Family to early, some of them did not graduate High school because she doesn't want to support them in school.

I always think that all mothers love their children very much and have no conditions.
