Sorry for the late reply, been off the grid for a while. I agree with Wildcat. If you are happy with your life let your mom know and be firm but loving about it.
This is a great topic, and I am sure many members have felt the same way as you.
Your mother probably just wants the best for you, however don't let her make you question your own success. You are right, it is very difficult these days to get a great job, or any job for that matter! It sounds like you are sure of who you are and where you are in life, and really, that's all that matters
Have you talked to your mom about how she makes you feel? Perhaps she is unaware that she is making you feel this way.
Members, what do you think? Have you been in a similar situation? If so, what did you do?
I spent time with my mother this weekend for mother's day. I love her dearly and I spent a lot of time choosing and creating a nice gift for her. Everything went ok but I feel like she trys to put jabs at me whenever she can. I am in my mid 20's and she says things like oh when you get a place of your own. Now I have my own apartment but I have roommates. So I don't see the problem.
I just feel like she is always judging my life but I am happy with my life right now. She makes me question my success. Maybe I am just being overly sensitive.... But when I hear her make comments about my job, my love life or whatever it makes me feel like a failure. I don't know why I care so much what she says but I want her to understand things are not as easy now as they were when she was growing up. Its harder to get good jobs, people don't get out of school and jump into marriage like they used to.... Anyone else have trouble with their mothers or acceptance with others?
