my mum has always been one to not hold her tounge and tell me what she thinks of my home my bf my son my life and my financial situation, recently she has made alot of snarky comments about my financial situation as my bf is the only one working, and I just get uc and child benefit which isnt much at all as my bf is working he pays all bills and rent so we struggle we cant afford to put our son who's 2 in nursery so I can work and my bf works alot 5 days a week as a security guard Im currently looking for a job maybe to fill those two days hes not working , my mum keeps making smart comments such as oh God you are always skint it's your own faults, oh god dont have another you can just about afford your son etc its very hurtful and these comments make me not want to be around her does anybody else have a mother like this if so how do you cope with it .

If I was feeling grown up I would say Mum what effect do you think those comments have on me? Why do you make them?

But Im not always grown up so I might tell her to fuck off and keep her horrible opinions to herself since you didnt invite her to comment.

Or most likely I would withdraw. You dont have to spend time with her.

I have started to withdraw from her emotionally it's sad because shes my mum but she brings nothing but negativity to my life, it's hard to be grown up with her because shes very immature for a women of 46 she just can't keep her mouth closed her and my dad have recently split and she has become worse than she ever was and very cold
