She is constantly ragging on me about everything from what I eat to my room not being perfect and what time I go to bed. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even tell her some stuff because she is just asking the same questions over and over. I think she has anxiety and some OCD. And she asks me to repeat everything, she got her hearing checked and I think it’s just a listening problem. But it is so frustrating repeating myself 20 times a day.
And I never got taught basic things when I was a kid like cooking. My 12 year old nephew was making dinner the other night. I didn’t even know my phone number until I was 8. Sorry for the rant but I am just getting frustrated with her. And I had to stop her from being in my Pdoc appointment because she wasn’t paying attention and getting into arguing matches with my doctor.

Well she’s older so it’s understandable she might be having hard time with things like remembering or hearing etc
I wasn’t taught to cook as a kid either but you are an adult so you can learn by watching you tube and reading recipes. It doesn’t need to be fancy. I also suggest you acquire basic tools that could help you. Air fryer is very helpful. You can make ton of things in there. Slow cooker. Etc Basic meals aren’t hard When we live with parents in adulthood, we have two options: live by their rules or leave. Have you considered group home or roommate option? Or maybe you could apply for subsidized housing? Long wait but you might get it eventually Your mom has two adult kids living with her. It can’t be easy. It’s probably aging her |

I learned to cook as a kid because my mother was at work and 3 of us needed to be fed. For things like your phone number or address when you were at that age, if your parent wasn’t teaching you, you should have been able to go to a teacher to get help with learning that information. Some of us had busy or downright neglectful parents. In my house, there was nobody interested in doing things like making dental appointments, so I did them for us kids and we rode our bikes. The money was never an issue, mom would leave a signed check.
There are some things you just have to be resourceful with. Would your nephew let you watch him cook so you can learn? Or help? Cooking videos are helpful too. Whether she did a good or bad job doesn’t matter anymore, you need to figure it out so you can be independent. |
