As hard as I try, I just can't get my head around this...

*No, I'm not asking for advice. There is nothing you could tell me that could help me out, and I've given up anyways. Just tell me what you think.
My mother says: "If you don't love your own mother... then you won't treat other women/people right." (In a less concise way)
I say: "You aren't all women to me, it doesn't matter if I don't act nice to you, that doesn't mean I'll treat everyone the same way."
AND
Mom: "No matter if you're right, you're supposed to listen to me because I'm your mother! Even if I made a mistake [like saying something I correct her on] or treated you wrong, you're not supposed to say or do anything because I'm your mother!" (with much more words)
Me: "Just because you're my mother doesn't mean I shouldn't hold you accountable for your actions. When you refuse to correct yourself, you will stay stupid and wrong. In the real world, people do not behave this way. You should at least provide a good argument when I tell you you're wrong instead of talking louder than me. If you feel that I've proved you wrong, you should accept it. You will never learn if you keep this up."
Simple question: Who's right? We've been arguing since I was 11 about this , and I've wondered "Would other people feel the same way I did?" |

| in a round about way, you have ended up asking for advice so that you are loaded with ammunition next time you start arguing with your mom. |

ing sucks how parents "really" just don't understand, huh?
Thanks for backing me, Psy-T, you're one of the more intelligent posters here. I Truly appreciate that coming from you. :)
As for everyone else, the arguments are dead. I'm not sad about this, because it's not really happening anymore (when it was, I was angry). It's like I was trapped with her for all my life, and soon I'll be leaving. There are no feelings in me for her. I'll never contact her again.
My life is heading in a good direction (new girl, job)... so I won't miss her at all. I just want to know what others think. |

| At 18, you seem to be remarkably mature at understanding life and coming to a conclusion that you know better than your mom. |

Oh c'mon, why'd you bump this? :p
Besides, I didn't ask to be here. I would've been better off if she aborted me. It's tough being an Akridrot.

| From your description, you're right. My mom used to give me the same until I broke her in as to how a good parent should behave. It all changed when I was in high school, and especially when I left for college. It helps if you're not a moron, successful at most things you do, and explicitly walk her through why she's wrong, though. |
