Today, I had to repeatedly explain to my nosy, interfering, clingy, no-concept-of-personal-space mom that I'm not okay with her moving into my new house, or the same neighborhood, or even the same goddamn state as me when I get married next week. FML

Mommy issues

By Anonymous - 30/11/2021 20:01

Today, my mother is such a nosy, intruding busybody, she has driven away my last three boyfriends who could no longer stand her. My latest fella had even proposed, but he asked for the ring back and you can bet he blamed my mother for repeatedly involving herself in our private business. FML

Today, I told my girlfriend that her mom doesn't give us any privacy when we're at their place. I suggested that we go to my place for a change, and she agreed. Her mom called my house three times to see what we were doing. We're well beyond teenagers. FML

Home to roost

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling several people that my fiancé and I will be moving into her house for the foreseeable future. All because we're moving to a city close by for jobs and are still searching for housing. I found this out from several of the people she told. FML

Escaping

By Anonymous - 30/10/2021 08:00

Today, my mother-in-law showed up unexpectedly, made passive aggressive comments to my kids in front of me about how we need a bigger place to live, and asked questions about our income. We're actually trying to move soon, and just hadn't told them yet so they wouldn't try to follow us. FML

Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML

Today, I found out that if my husband and I move to another country to live, then his mom and sister will live with us too. I'm already living with them because of societal traditions. I like them and everything, but I really need some privacy. FML

Don't go

Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML

Clean

By Anonymous - 22/04/2022 01:30 - India - Hyderabad

Today, in the entire half-hour since my mother-in-law reached our home, she's inspected and criticised every aspect of our home, despite things being spot clean. And sermoned me non stop on how to "live". My husband still wonders why I don't want her visiting. It"s going to be a long two weeks. FML

Oedipus Rex

Today, my mother started arguing with me once again about how my life revolves around my girlfriend and how it's unhealthy to spend so much time with her. We live together and are engaged to be married. FML

Today, just like every day for the past two weeks, my mother has told me just how much she doesn't want me to move out. I, once again, have had to remind her that she isn't the one I'm trying to get away from. I'm not a fan of being repeatedly smacked with a coffee mug by my 78-year-old grandma. FML

Just tell her that her behaviour is pushing you away and ruining your relationship with her. If she keeps it up she's going to lose you, hopefully that will help make a difference.

It's also Mother's Day so OP should give their mom a little bit of a break.

No, this seems to be something that ops mom has done their whole life. They don't have to be kinder because of a day, and if they were the mom would probably think of it as op starting to give up on their stance.

I didn't always have the best relationship with my mother and yet when she passed last year, I regretted every moment I missed with her. all I was saying in my comment is to enjoy the time you have. I would give anything to talk to my mom.

Im very close with my mom. I talk to her every day. She lives half a country away and i like it like that.

Some of us will never get along with our moms. I've accepted the fact that my mom and i will never be close nor have a perfect relationship. We always end up fighting and it all together isn't a good relationship to have. So some of us probably won't miss our moms that much once they pass.

Everybody dies. YOU may miss your passed mother, but that doesn't mean giving someone a free pass from their overbearing, smothering, hovering bullshit.

I agree that they should talk to their mother and their mom should not invade their personal space.

So instead of her mom following her it'll be the CIA! Good idea

At least you have one. I lost my mom at 13 and wish everyday that she was still with us.

I mean... I get what you're saying and all, but that's not what OP is talking about at all and that was kinda random and inconsiderate. I am sorry your mom passed so early, though.

I lost mine a year ago. there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her.

Seriously? It's the game of who has it worse now? How does your loss invalidate any of OP's unfortunate situation? Sure I feel sorry for you, but that doesn't automatically dismiss any other mom-related problems on earth. Not everyone has a great relationship with their parents, I've seen it for myself, and that's okay. Not everything works out. I'm sorry about your mother, but saying you have it worse doesn't change the situation.

I lost my mom at 12, and I don't wish everyday that she was still with us. Unfortunately not everyone has a good relationship with their mom, I'd much rather have my grandmother back. And neither of our loses relate to the OP's FML, it's not a game of who has it worse.
