not talking with mom?
Question by Ruby: not talking with mom?
Understand we do talk, “What do you want for dinner?” “What are you doing” “Go to bed”
I’m 17 corse we “Talk” but we never really talk..
she never wants to talk with me about my friends, school, or even what i’m interested in.. when i try talking to her about this she act’s like i’m being a bother and she’ll start snapping at me.. an example conversation ..
ME: Hey mom, did you know i was doing this project online where i draw everyday for a month… it didn’t turn out for me.. my scanner quit…
Mom: Well life does not always go like you want it too.
and then she’ll just walk away before i can finish telling her about my art work…
when i’m talking about gathering with friends
ME: So we played Jenga.. the tower fell on me twice, it always fall on me *i’m normally laughing i think it’s funny it always fall on me* but after the game, we started talking about this field trip coming up…
Mom: yeah..
and she’ll walk away as if it was a nice conversation…
She’s a simgle parent so i figure things are hard on her so i’ll help her out with some things, i’ll help in the kitchen to try and get some time together but when i’m in the kitchen trying to help her.. she figures i’m in there to take over and she’ll leave and go watch TV, even though i ask her if i can “Help” and even though i’m trying to talk to her… she’ll still walk away before a conversation even starts up…
it’s not like i have dad to go to he left…. or even a brother sister, aunt or uncle….
i just don’t know what to do..
do you have any advice?
This has been like this all my life and well now i’m just kind of wishing i had a better relationship with her. I plan on moving out in 2 years….. just kind of feel like time is running out to fix this.
I’ve actually tried talking to her.. she agrees, but she also believes this will work it’s self out… it’s been going on all my life and it hasn’t worked it’s self out yet.
thanks’ for the nice comment’s and advice.. i guess i could try again

Why don’t you sit down and tell her what you’ve just told us. I think it’s great that you want to be able to communicate with her – just don’t give up. Your mother doesn’t sound too happy – that’s not your fault – and she may be depressed. I think she’s a lucky woman to have such a wonderful daughter!
