Hi,
Okay so I was just wondering is it normal for your parents to get completely worked up about absolutely nothing. For example today while we were shopping for groceries which she forced me to go my best friends texts me and wanted to my opinion on what to wear to dinner with her family and I was helping her and my mom flipped out. Like she started yelling and tried the guilt trip that does not work any more and it was so embarrassing so I walked away but anyways is that normal. They both freak out over nothing. Like my mom freaks if I'm not hungry and starts questioning me and flips out about the simple stuff. I'm so sick of it. I think she needs to take some relaxation classes. I believe it would be a good investment plus it would benefit everyone in the house. Anyways with their negative attitude all the time it brings my attitude down and trust me you can tell when I'm in a bad mood. But like we never really talk about this kind of stuff. But I was just wondering is it normal for parents to freak out about every little thing? Anyone who's a parent or a fellow teen I could really use your advice, they are really driving me insane and its miserable to live with my mom when she gets in her pissy moods. But w/e I'll just have to deal with it. But anyone have any advice to make living with her while shes in her moods more bearable please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Hi, I am in a similar situation, my mom has been doing that to me and my sisters since I can rememeber. Your mom may have an anxiety disorder or bi-polar disorder. Has she been to a therapist about it yet? I don't think it is normal for a mom or dad to be so on edge. Is there any particular reason that they might be? Like have you gotten in trouble lately with boys or anything else? They may not trust you about something so thats why they treat you like that.
take care
Hi there Fashiongurl:
Have you tried talking to her, one on one, about her moods?
If possible, and you know you will be talking to others, try not to be around her when you need to do so.
The best way to avoid trouble is to try to avoid the situation, so try your best not to be put in that kind of situation when and if you can.
Best,
Clyde
