As much as I love my mom, I can’t help but just getting annoyed by her sometimes. It’s getting worse by day to the point that I want to run away. She thinks she can just control everything about my life. What I wear, when I sleep, what I get to eat, I have no control over what I do in the house except the trash, I have to take that out every day. I can’t stand her voice tone, she is just ridiculously irritating. I know that what she did is for my best, but can’t she give me my own space at times? I am old enough to know what is right from wrong, I just don’t need her to always tell me what to do...

Why is my mom so annoying? Definitely a question that only teenagers could possibly ask. You just want her out from your life, all these nonsensical rules, chores after chores, grounded when you want to go with your friends. Mother knows best alright, but she only knows so much about you. Teenage is a tough age to be in, your first real wave of pressure has just hit you. Juggling social life, making sure you look attractive, balancing studies with a part-time job, only the dark future ahead. All those stress and you naturally want to run away, break free from what bounds you are now entitled of. It’s the perfect time to embrace that it’s going to be that way for the rest of your life, and it will only go downhill from there. Mother is the only thing that will be there to light you the way. It’s about time you reach out for her. You need her, and she needs you. There’s nothing worse than being too late.

Why is my own mother that has been raising me up since young, putting all her effort and everything she has into you, all in the hopes that you will grow up successful, so annoying you ask? As cliche as it sounds, it’s just a phase, maybe not so much of a phase, but the trial of maturity.

Take it this way, first you will hate your mother, then your siblings, then the teacher that keeps giving you extra homework over the weekend and in the future your overly touchy boss in the workplace. Funny thing about maturity is, it’s a slow change of understanding why everything happens the way it is. You don’t just suddenly turn into an adult when you are 21. You have to earn it. Maturity is all about tolerance, or pretending to tolerate anyway. That includes pretending to be an adult. When you have tons of responsibilities piled onto you, all the dull stuff, like taxes and mortgages, you could only press on and take one day at a time. That’s the way of life. When you totally get it, you won’t have a question, like why is my mom so annoying.

Just learn to tolerate it, maybe communicate with her. Tell her how you feel, be honest. She will understand, she only wants the best for you. Something might change that makes her feel more and more distant. Maybe it’s about time. It’s not easy raising a child for 18 years and almost suddenly faced with a change. To her, you will always be that needy little kid that needs her to put you to sleep every night. And then she held on to that idea, the hope that you will never leave her, a fear even. So she becomes stricter, hoping to have you stay longer by her side, no matter what it takes. And you feel more and more controlled by her, she wants you to remember her. She wants to always be there for you, whatever the case is. At your darkest time, keep in mind that someone out there is always worrying about your well-being. No matter how old she is, or how adult you have been. Indeed, the best feeling in the world is being loved by someone, to have someone out there looking out for you.

Well im not saying this is the best answer but it is something to think about. We are all going be doing this. Our "annoying) parents, are probably like this because they experinced it first. Whats its like sleeping late and the next day you are sooo tired that you sleep in class. Or what you wear because maybe she wants you to look profestional and to make more friends like that. Either way the point is, that we are all going to have this problem. Parents are annoying i get it i have annoying parents too but you have to realize that when they get older and you start living by yourself your going to have to take care of them. And remember what they say to you when you think their annoying and say it back to them. They might be happy you remember, or mad because your being a smart ass. Lol
