Mom Problems Posted: 10-28-06 18:27pm
Im 18 years old, I live at home with my
parents and my b/f lives with me. Im 17
weeks pregnant and I need some advice on
how to talk to my mom. My family already
nows that im pregnant and everyone
supports me and is constantly buying me
stuff, most of it I dont need. But the
problem is that my mom is trying to
control every aspect of the babys life.
Its her very first grandchild so I know
shes just excited. But shes telling me
what to name the kid, telling me that im
not allowed to take it out on walks, she
picked out the color for the room, bought
everything that goes in the room. Me and
my b/f had absoulty no say in anything.
Shes even telling me where and how I have
to give birth and when I didnt listen she
got mad. When I tried to talk to my mom
about everything she just got mad and said
I was saying she was controling my life
and kicked my b/f out of the house and
said he couldnt have anything to do with
his child. Hes still here, we had worked
everything out and things seemed to get
better, but now shes back to doing it. Im
just afraid that if she keeps acting this
way she might push the farther away so
that he doesnt want anything to do with
this child. Any advice would really
help...Thanks

Oh man. Way to go, mom..
.I'm sorry she's being like that!
It's your child, not hers. I wonder if
she understands that.
I wish .I had more advice to give you-
since you've already tried reasoning with
her.
Keep trying to talk to her, maybe try to
compromise.
She needs to understand that this is
*your* baby,
&you have the right to make the
decisions!
Is there any way you can move out with
your boyfriend?

Were planning on moving out after the baby
is born so that way we have the extra help
if we need it. My friend thinks my mom is
just going through a mid life crisis and
wants another baby really bad. So maybe
eventually things will get better, for now
ill just try to talk to her when she says
and does stuff.
