Op needs to calm down, someday when she is no more around, this same attitude you hate is what you would wish she was there to give. You will miss that attitude, n will blame yourself for it.

So funny i swear.....The question is, will she be able to use it?

Some people are just so difficult to please! Buy her an Android phone and she will start demanding for an iPhone once she sees someone else using it, some people are just like that and it could be as a result of greed, age related issues, hormonal imbalances, environmental factors, type of companies/associations one keeps and lack of self control etc.

The only way to deal with such situations is for one to provide only those things that are really essential.

You can also grant some wishes to make your loved one's happy but if such privileges are been abused through constant frivolous demands then you should draw the line.

The thing is if you cannot cope with your mum.. how are you going to cope with your wife.the thing is many families with there peculiar problems.. u cannot fix your mum to be right. .. it the work of your dad and the more you get attach to trying to fix her the one you loose your senses...
Also watch your language ..if you cant at least pretend to filter your language on an open platfom like it... it very bad..no matter how bad she is... we still have far more worse mothers out here...

My advise get it together. ..u and ur siblings should sit down with her with ur dad... dont coreect her cos u will never win that battle... just tell her how u fell..that all...

Hi fellow humans, my beloved mother is unknowingly forcing me to hate her. She has suddenly become megalomaniac.

She always want to have the final say in every issue not minding the feelings of others. She doesnt waste time to switch her allegiance and love to any of her children that has it big at the very moment..

She is in her 60s but always believe she knows the current things more than us. Immagine the torchlight Nokia phone we bought for her she cant even operate it well, but now telling us that we dont love her because we didnt buy android touchscreen phone for her to be browsing.
What is she going to browse? when she cant even communicate with english fluently.

You will teach her one thing for many months and even spend years doing serial correction for her, yet she wont get it right.

She is also very ungrateful... She lacks nothing as we timely assist her with upkeep allowances. My Dad still provide for all her daily needs too.

Nairalanders i cant even say much, infact i thought of committing suicide yesterday because of her unbearing attitude...

This megalomania is destroying the love i once had for her.
Pls what do i do as i have tried talking to her about this severally, only for the peaceful talks to snowball into a fiercing quarrell ofwhich it echo reaches the next day.

Pls what should i do?

Your problem is not new, to be sincere it's similar to what I'm experiencing with my mum in the same age bracket. She wants things done her own way and complains too much, well I see it as effects of old age ( though not all mums are like dat).
Well as for me. I try to mind my business and do what she asks me to do ( so far it has no effect on me) meaning so far it's not going to affect my decisions.
So do your own part as her daughter or son. Try and mind your business stop trying to please her. Just do what you know you are supposed to do. And also make plans to leave the house for her by marriage or relocating.

My brother buying for her is not the problem. The problem is she wont even appreciate it.. she has more than 3 phones.
If you are a christian, stop contributing to your church forthwith until you buy it for her! It doesn't matter what she does with it. Buy the android phone for her.

You know in Nigeria we don't take mental health seriously. Have you considered inviting a Psychologist or Counselor to see her?
Moreover, you need to move out of the family home and give her some space. She may get better when she begins to miss you.

No she doesn't. He'll be patronizing her. He needs to tell her about her attitude. If she wasn't his biological mum, I'd have advised him to bolt.

He found out all she needed was attention. She's ur Mom, give her d respect she deserves, if she's doing Some things dat u don't lyk, sit her down n talk to her or u include ur siblings to let her know the effect of her attitude.

Relax. Expecting people to bottle everything up usually leads to disaster (e.g., OP has already contemplated suicide). I see absolutely nothing wrong in asking for advice, and, yes, using strong language (if that is how s/he truly feels) as long as s/he remains anonymous. Either help him/her or move on.

Your mum is in her 60's which means you are an adult but you talk and act like a child no wonder you are treated as such. If she was still providing for you will you have a choice or what phone you are gifted.

You are too old to be doing mummy and daddy's boy or girl and the journey ahead is one of psychological disaster. Better slam the phone down and go get a life. That you are even competing with your siblings that you have no future relationship is just pathetic. Tomorrow they will tell you how to bonk your partner.
