Re: how you handle frustration

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry things are rotten. I can't really give advice but I can commiserate a little.

I have a good relationship with my parents but I do butt heads with my mom from time to time. The most frustrating things are when it's not really about me. Like, she'll get on my case about something but really she's just frustrated from work (and when I don't know that is the most frustrating of all!). Another source of our tension is due to the fact that she's a morning person and I'm a night owl. I hate perky morning people and I'm ready to talk right when she wants to go to bed. Lately, she's had a shorter temper but I find it's mostly late at night, and it's all fine the next day when it's not close to bedtime. So, it's more of a timing issue and I don't take it personal. I feel like if she's grumpy, it's mostly because she's sleepy because she'll be perky again tomorrow. So, I just leave her alone at night and we're all good. We also go on walks where she can vent to me about her day so I know what's going on.

I hear you about the headphones. I'm really sensitive to noise. I can't concentrate if someone's playing anything with words in it. Both my parents are going deaf and they both sleep with their TVs on so I can hear whatever's going on in their rooms. I have to sleep with a fan on (even in the winter) just for the white noise.

I hope it gets better for you. *hugs*

gah, that does sound frustrating, probably for both of you, since your schedules are so off. My mom is similar - she goes to bed much earlier than me and the time I think of as most productive in my day is the time she's winding down.

*hugs back*
