It was soooo stupid and I am sooo mad about it..Gee...
My mom is having some memory problems and she has been forgeting things I tell her sometimes. I try to be very nice and understanding all the time and just remind her of what we talked about. But today my phone was dead and I couldn't find it, well I guess she tried to call all day. And when I finally got it charged and on she called before I could even check the messages. She was angry to start I did not have a chance. I told her my phone was dead, and that I had been working all day and really didn't even notice it was dead. I told her I made my first website today and that I was so excited. Well she wanted to know why I was making a site and I said remember I told you I am working online. And she said I never told her about it that all I said was I was doing a weeks worth of training. And I said yes that is what I was training for. Well she comments that she can't read minds and she hung up on me!!! OMG. So I am angry and she is angry....what do I do now????
I hate fights, I really do. I usually wind up backing down all the time and she walks all over me. Gee....what to do????

I have three daughters, leeluo, and I'm also having memory problems. I know how you feel, because my girls often roll their eyes at me and tell me I've told them something a million times ... and I know they think I'm boring at times! One of my daughters came to stay recently and left after a day because I'd pissed her off (without even knowing what I'd done!) Luckily, she phoned a few days later and apologised and said she'd come for another visit ... so I think it would be nice if you phoned your mum. She probably knows she's a bit forgetful and vague these days, and feels terrible ... it's hard getting old, and us mums need all the daughters we can get! Good luck!

Parents and their children argue and fight all the time. Give yourself and her a bit to calm down and then call her. Don't mention the argument as that may start it back up. Just talk to her about whatever is going on and keep things light and friendly. Odds are she won't mention the argument either, and, given her memory lapses, won't remember it tomorrow :)

My mother orgets things that I tell her too, to which I just say "well I told you, and if you can't remember, it's not my problem." Then I refuse to talk about it anymore.

My dear Calm down. This is how parents behave when they are having problem with their memory. You know what is the problem so you will have to have more patience with her. This problem not going away at the wink of an eye. Instead it will get worse and worse. So my advice to you is to start and practice patience now if you do not have it. Congrats on your website and I hope it will be a success for you.
Whenever you see your Mom just kiss her and tell her that you love her. We all need our mother's love and it is hard when they leave and you have unfinish business with them.
All the best. kerry
