Re: Do you get along with your parents?

[(Anonymous)]

Your mom sounds rather exceptional. Mine was somewhere in between... she didn't insist on dictating my major, but she certainly tried to control many of my other life choices, including how I dressed, how I wore my hair, what I ate and how much of it I ate, what hobbies I pursued, what books I read, etc. Nothing was ever quite right or good enough. She would've been a lot happier if I'd been a miniature version of her in all ways, including appearance.

I don't understand parents who do that. Trying to exert that much control over another person just sounds boring and tiring. They need a hobby.

Re: Do you get along with your parents?

As I got older, I realized that she had a very rigid way of seeing the world, and a great deal of poorly managed anxiety. Seeing her children do the "wrong" thing (because only her way was the correct way) made her panic because she was certain it would lead to disaster, and she often said this out loud like it wasn't nuts to imply that washing dishes wrongly could doom your whole life. So all her attempts to control me were really fierce because she believed it was for my own good. It was pretty screwed up, and she has never accepted the fact that I'm a different person, with different needs and different ways of doing things.

Yeah, my mother has gone through life like she expects to get a pat on the head and an "atta girl!" if she "follows the rules". She is so damn rigid about trying to be "right and proper" that all it has led her is this life of deprivation and two kids who want nothing to do with her because she couldn't unbend from 1950s childraising beliefs in the 1980s and 1990s, and never mind all the ways the world keeps people who follow all the rules poor...It has only harmed her, but she is still the same, dirt poor, judgemental ass as a pensioner as she was as younger woman.
