to think that I must be able to do something right

at least occaisionally. Or am I just the pathetic ignorant, shit-faced, pathetic, fuck-witted waste of space that everyone else thinks I am. The world would be a better place if I was dead.

What's wrong xstitch?

Hey, that sounds like someone has been really out of order with you. The world would NOT be a better place without you!!!

What happened?

Squitten · 22/08/2010 11:35

What in the world would make you think that???

I asked my mum if she knew where something was and instead of just saying no she launched into I tirade at me. Said I did nothing, I was hanging up the ironed stuff in the wardrobe. Then she started swearing at me because it was my fault she couldn't find the phone. It was on the cradle :(.

dd asked for sweets, I said no, so she went and pestered Nanny who is now shouting at me for being too lazy to get them myself. I said NO not for her to get them.

I then bit her head off saying it not my fault you are making work for yourself so now she is crying her eyes out about how I ruined her life by being born.

Do you live with her? Sounds like you need to move out

xstitch · 22/08/2010 11:39

Oh yeh and the reason I didn't answer the phone was I was sitting on the toilet.

This isn't a problem with you, it's your mother's issue by the sound of it.

Does your mum normally talk to you like that Shock ? I suspect theres a lot more to this ....

lazarusb · 22/08/2010 16:49

Jeez... Sounds like your mum has issues! This is her problem, you do NOT deserve to be spoken to like that by any means and she shouldn't be overriding you as a parent.
Has she always been like this? (Sending you a hug).

If you live with your mum, start to look at moving out as soon as possible. If she's just visiting, tell her to go home until she's got some manners.

It sounds as though she is giving you a lot of stress and very low self-esteem - put as much space as possible between you.

And perhaps have a set time/day when your daughter can have sweets? It stops her mithering the life out of you and also going behind your back to wheedle them out of your mum!

Good grief - totally agree with other posts - your mum clearly has HUGE issues. This is NOT your fault.
