My Mom and sister are the exact same which is probably why I cant stand them. I barely even want to sit in the same room as them let alone even talk to them. They are the type of woman who pretend they like you, backstab you, all for what I dont know. This lady at work my Mom was supposeable friends with, I dont know what happened but my Mom complains and says how much she hates her, and so on. Next thing this lady comes up and asks her something, she puts on this show and pretends to be all buddy buddy with her until she walks away and says oh I cant stand her. On the drive home, I simple said if you dont like her why talk to her (thats what I do Im not going to pretend I like you, not that Ill be a complete biatch but not kiss your royal butt). My Mom turns and goes no wonder you have nothing, and no friends because you dont pretend to like people, and you have nothing in life your going to be like my cousin living at home being single for the rest of her lfe (what does that have to do with me not pretending to kiss someones rear). She goes your sister, is obviously the opposite. I just laughted and said yea just like you nothing to show for theemselves, and cant pay a single bill without a man, cant function in life without depending on a man and clearly have to pretend and backstab people to have *friends*. The fact I can function in life without calling a guy to double check, and not be able to manage a bank account, or even everyday functions. She shut up after I said this, as she knows its right she has nothing for herself, no cars, no house, no belongings. Someone else whether it be my Dad or her parents have boughten those cars, the house, all the belongings, and even bailed her out of the debt she caused herself. She's in her 50s with nothing and I think she regrets that and because Im not following in her useless footsteps shes saying all this stuff, and stealing from me. Yet, my sister who is the exact same as her, and following right in her footsteps is perfect, and she doesnt say a single thing to her, nor steal from her. The fact I get called fat on a daily basis (yet my sister is about 15 - 20 pounds heavier than me), stupid, useless, how that me not having a man means I have nothing in life. Maybe, they need to look at themselves and their useless lives.

Well, I've read a couple of times before something like one should rather listen to someone who's got nice things to say than waste time and energy b*tching about someone they don't even know, something like that.
Have nothing good to say? Just nod and smile.
Got no friends? Make some.
Can't find true ones? Don't bother.
Found just a few? That's better than a thousand fake ones.

I know how frustrating it is, ya, I'm myself to people and I'll let them know I don't like them. My husband's father is one. I don't like this 2-faced stuff, it's so pretentious, you know? I want to be real, true. Looks like your mother secretly admires you, just putting 2 and 2 together, and maybe even proud of you for being so responsible and independent, but she won't let you know because it'll be embarrassing to her to admit it.
And about fat....hahahahaha most of Canada's fat LOL! Right now skinny people stand out in a crowd so it seems.

Hi ricki!
WOw..you are so straight forward. I hope your mother can understand your feeling for this whole time. Sometimes , you need to make them realize that you are not like what they thought you are. You are far better than them and you deserve better from them.

I think you are more like your mom than you think Ricki. You are always talking about the relatives and friends and co-workers in your life and I don't think I have ever read anything good. That's just an observation. Go through all of your posts. You never uplift.
Your family always steals from you, but you continue to take it. You refuse to make a stand for yourself and get out on your own. I think you will be much happier on your own. You have more savings than most people. I'd be a big girl and make my own life instead of complaining all the time.
No matter what your mom is your mom. I think you owe her some respect. You wouldn't even be here if it weren't for her carrying you in her body and finally birthed you. You owe her respect and you owe yourself respect by getting out and forging your own life. I care for you Ricki so I'm being honest with you.

Wow I'm getting deja vu! Quite some similarities with my mum too. She says I have a fat bum and that I'm fat just to make herself feel better. She is a little skinnier than me though but she's got some fat. Although she hasn't told me that in quite a while so something must have changed there. I think we both have a better understanding of eachother now but I used to get lectures about how useless I was as well. I don't have a job right now so I sometimes get hounded for that and I get told I'll end up just like her and never move out. Difference is I want to work and don't sabotage interviews or try to get out of things. I want to make money as I am saving up for my own place so I won't end up a total failure in life like my mum. It sounds harsh and I know a lot of things were not her fault but I don't want to end up like her. I think she says mean things like that to me because she is frustrated with her own life and was jealous when I had things and was successful at things that she wasn't.
My mum is the opposite about needing a man though, she doesn't need one, she does it all herself but she has never moved out of home either and we don't have to pay bills because my grandmother looks after most of those. We just pay the phone bill and buy our own food. If her mum wasn't around to take care of a lot of the financials then my mum wouldn't have survived so long with being lazy and not working so much. She would have had to get a full time job, now she says she can't because of too many injuries
Anyway point of my story is, your mum is jealous of you, no doubt you are going to be a lot more successful in life and be a better person than the both of them and she knows it. She's going to always try make you feel worthless but you can't let those things get to you. Look into getting a good job, save up your money and buy your own place and get away from these people. No offence but I hate 2 faced people as well. I also hate rude people and liars, they really get to me

Wow!! Personally this is a little unreal. Coming from your own mother. It would really benefit you somehow with all the complaints you always are posting about your family to find a way to save some money and move out. It would make things a lot easier for you as then you could get away from all their negativity and finally be able to relax some, and maybe take time to make New friends as well without having to constantly be judged.

It sounds to me as if they are jealous and that is why they are saying those things. It's sad when you have to deal with that kind of stuff from your own mother. Your sister I can understand but your mom? I hate it for you. I can understand why you are working double time to try to get out of that house. You'll prove to them with each step you make that you can and are doing for yourself, without hanging onto the shirt tails of any man, whether it be your dad or a boyfriend.

It will be a lot easier for you when you have your own place.
Your mother is likely jealous of you. You are young, independent-spirited and have the possibility of doing something good with your life. Your mother looks at her life and sees that she really hasn't accomplished anything and has nothing that truly is her own. So, she feels the need to criticize others--including her own daughter.

There are many people who pretend in life for all kinds of reasons. A girl may pretend to be a decent girl when she want to get a guy, an employee may pretend to be hardworking when the boss is around. Someone may just pretend to be a totally different person just so that people like him or her. It can be wrong or sometimes it may be justified. Anyway, I usually show my true self.
