I hope things get better for you. My parents divorced when I was 19 and I’m almost 23 and haven’t spoke to her since. I think my mom was just taking out her insecurities on me

Yes why do moms do this??? My bf has a brain tumor and can’t do much more than lay in bed all day barely lucid and she’s like why doesn’t he get a remote job? Like what??? He can barely speak, you think he’s in a condition to work? Also like how available do you think remote jobs are? They’re so competitive and rarely available unless it’s a scam.

God I feel you on this one, my mom constantly yells at me and is rude as hell; over stuff like couch cushions, my executive dysfunction(yet she has adhd too) and she also lost her mind over how long it took me to find a job. She’s not a bad person but we just can’t seem to fix our relationship. Thank God I am moving out.

Honestly, I know why it’s happening, my mother worked in Recruiting for her entire career and recently retired. Me being out of a job feels like a project for her, and she can’t accept that I want to be picky about what kinda a job that I take (or that I’m not qualified for every position because recruitment is pickier in this job market), rather than basically applying for everything I’m remotely qualified for, because “why wouldn’t you want to make money!?!?”

I live on my own, in my own place. She keeps giving me grocery store gift cards every few months when I see her, but like I don’t need them. (I got good at investing during college and have savings that should last more than 2-3 years) My (30m) brother also lives with her & travels a lot for work, so she’s always telling me she takes care of him so this is how she wants to take care of me.

Literally I live in a “quiet” part of the state, and my mom lives in a major metro center, and half the reason I’m without a job is because I’m pretty sure my remote job was “trimming the fat” when it came to remote employees. She keeps pushing me to apply to major companies, when the whole reason I attended a small college was because I liked being a person and not a number. I hope things get better for your boyfriend, lots in the world to be upset about but lots of little moments to celebrate.

Best thing I ever did for my relationship with my mom was moving out. She just calls me all the time now; and that’s its own problem.

I feel you. I like being in small rural area but my job focus is always concentrated in big cities. I feel like I’m going to have to give up my passion to find somewhere I want to live and can also afford and find work.
