My mom always have a side comment.

This is really sad though. My mom always appreciate little things that we do for her. I cannot judge your mother. I am also a mother and I always appreciate my kids for little things they done for me. I also nagged them for wrong doings but should be explained why. I always try my best to give my kids confidence for everything they do and with their interests. have a good day

Helow...When I was on my elementary years until high school years, I feel the same away like you...that my mom didn't appreciate me. But what I did is, I wrote my mom a letter and I pour all my hurt feelings there. After I graduated on high school, I give it to my Mom. She cried after she read my letter. We talked after that and then I realized that my mom just want me to do my very best so that I can be a better person. She asked sorry because she, herself, was not aware of what she's doing.After how many months that I've entered college, my mom really changed. Sometimes, she acted a little the same just like before especially if she has a problem or she's very stressed. I suggest try to consider any factors why your mom acted like that, maybe there are some things that she is worrying about. Most of all, talk to her.

Well, yes, it can be hard being a parent but that is no excuse for being so negative. I know a lot of people like that. They just can't help it and do not appreciate anything. I find that it is not worth making such an effort for such people. I find myself being negative quite a lot but I always do my best to make a point of telling my kids if they've done something well so they know they will be appreciated.

Awww this is just sad and I can understand what you feel since sometimes my mom also does the same thing. She do appreciate what we do for her but most of the time, there are side comments ready for us to hear. Same as you, it's negative. My mom passed the 60yrs old mark and honestly, this habit of hers just got a bit worse. What I do is I simply ignore her and not say anything. It's hard to do, yes, and there are times when I want to retort something back at her but decided not to do so since it'll be disrespectful. If her comments got a bit too negative for me, that's when I'll try to justify what I did in a real calm manner. Hope things will look up for you soon :) Happy myLotting :)

Mom is always sweet and love the comment of her every time.. mostly it will be funny and some time it will be of more motivational words...

Moms are always like and I think that is their nature. But usually it is for our own best.

My mother is very similar... I had done poorly in math for many years... I brought my grade up to a B+... she complained that I didn't receive an A. Whenever I call her to talk to her in a way that a daughter should be able to talk to their mother, she brings up my sister and my sister's troubles. It feels as if Im always being compared. So... I dont talk to my family very often. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but I don't need the stress and anxiety.

Parental instinct? Are you married or have children?, well I was treated that way by my late father once, nothing in what I do seemed to be right with him or at par with his standardsalthough deep inside I know that he loves me so much, later on in life I realized that all the constructive criticism was simply to make me stronger and more competitive since I was the eldest son in an Asian family and I carried his name. Even late in his life when I knew I was fairing out better than him, he would never admit it, and always had something to say with what i do, I was a proud young man then, but looking back, I wish he was still with me now, I came to realize that all he was saying was correct.

My mom also has her negative side, she always said that the others did better than Us, but, I try to close my ears to that. I used to talked with her for long periods, When she was getting a little negative I looked for a smooth way to change the topic and lead her to another one, this way her talk couldnt hurt me. Now, that I am also a Mom , I understand her a lot, but , I try not to be negative to my kids, sometimes I do, but, I notice it, so , I change my actitud. That is something that you have to deal with , We can not change our mothers, but , we can try to do our best (close Your ears)
