Starting from this year I always have arguments with mom. I don't know why but I think she talks too much. She always asks me some questions that I don't know, for example. she may asked me how the stock market is going today, but actually I do not care or know anything about stocks. When I answered her I don't know, she just suspected me that I knew what happen but I'm not going to tell her! So she starts scolding me with insulting words and arguments happened. I'm really cannot stand with her anymore and I try to talk to her about the problem and she doesn't listen, she is too self-centered. DOes anyone experienced this before or , can you give me some suggestions how I can solve this problem ..?

Sometimes im having argument with my mom too but not the same with your situation. For example She keeps telling me that im too young to be married and that is very hard. that is should work first and help them. Even if im married now, i still hear things like that to her. so annoying.

it doesn't relate to our age as our parents always treat us as children that they want to give us advice and protect us but sometimes they do not know we are actually can handle by ourselves..

Uh uh, I don't think I like the situation. I mean, I love my Mom so much, she's the best in the world, I cannot imagine us in that situation. Hmmm, why the sudden change in the atmosphere. Are you in some kind of transition? Did you just grew up from a adolescent to adulthood? Did someone moved in the house? Moved out the house? Something new in your life that could have affected your communication? Because if these things never happened before, it would be weird to think it's happening now without something triggering it at first. To solve that problem, you should think if the core reason why this is happening, when did it all started. Maybe your Mom has been asking you questions before that you take in normally but you don't find it normal now because you "think" she's asking too much, but why? Why the sudden change? And why do you think your mom is "suspecting" now? I'm really certain you need to start from the roots of this problem... Good luck, may you patch things up with your Mom, parents are so delicate in their old age you know....

Sorry I have never been in this kind of situation. It sounds like a hard thing to cope with. Is it possible she has developed some kind of problem and needs professional help?

yes it is really hard but sometimes she is so nice. I don't want to be mad at her but sometimes her actions forced me to do so.

How old is your Mom? Was she like this before? Maybe she's going through menopause. This is a very complicated phase for our Moms because they themselves can't understand what's going on with them. Maybe we should just stretch our patience a little bit.
