i love my mom... there is no doubt about it. but there are times when i just plain hate or angry with her. there are just things that she would say or do that makes me mad. i want to talk back to hear but i refrain my self because i know she has heart ailment. her doctor advise us not to make her be depress, angry too much or be too happy since these are bad for her. have you experience this feeling? the feeling that you want to talk to her, try to make her understand something but in the process you both end up making loud voices and quarrel because you don't think the same and your believes and ideals are in the opposite side? you want to talk to her but there is something that is holding you back that in the process you make your feelings against her worst?

well, my mom and i dont used to get along pretty well. but that was when i was in high school. when i was the hardest headed person in the world. but right now, i noticed we share this closeness. we talk a lot and even do groceries together. it's just a matter of doing good and being a good daughter. and everything will go well between the two of you.:) well, i know you can never really hate your mom, when you both get some misunderstanding, just try to breathe and understand her. dont talk to her if you still feel mad, you will only make the situation worst! talk to her when you have relaxed.. she surely will inderstand as long as you're not gonna shout at her!

All mothers and daughters have disagreements. It's perfectly normal. How you deal with the disagreements is the issue. I am a daughter and a mother of daughters, so I've been there on both sides of it. My advice is to present your arguments in a factual, respectful way, instead of allowing emotion to take over. This is especially important in the sensitive situation of your mother being ill, but it is most effective in all relationships. Quarreling and yelling are not good forms of communication and will rarely make another person see your point, so try to speak calmly and stick to facts.
Best wishes for your mother's health and your relationship with her.
