Continue to Love her and Pray for her, phone, laptop all that can't be replaced with Life. Life is precious, the devil wants to destroy ur Love for ur Mum by making u love material things.
If u can afford IPhone 180 buy it for ur mum. Cherish her, love her, whatever she is doing to u is just a token of wat u did to her, Wen u dey piss for her mouth u no know.

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?

Buying phone for her is not the problem.. we r many and can afford anything for her... Her level of education wont permit her to use such.

Man but with her level of education she ensure you're educated right? But now her level of education can't make her to use a smart phone? You must be kidding me cos you talk like a kid.. She needs a better visual at her age, she doesn't have to be pressing her eyes into the screen to make calls or look for contact and most especially she want to feel the fun you guys gets when you watch movie on your phone, play music or even do a video call... So bro if you can't teach her how to do those simple task then your education is a waste. I'm sorry i'm hash on you but it's the truth. So got forbid she passed away now you'll now contribute money for a Very Big Cow abi? 200k worth abi? Appreciate what you have now man or you'll hate yourself for having despised her the way you're presently doing. Every mother fight a good fight for every kids she have to ensure they make something meaningful out of life. Come to think of it can you count the number if times you've pissed her off and she continue to love you endlessly?

If you think talking to your mom or running to Nairaland or some other thing will change your mom, you are making a huge mistake. If you already know her weakness, work with that and use that as the basis to love her. She wants an Android, what the f***k are you waiting for when you can afford it.... And what do you even think you are doing arguing with your mom? For a minute I thought you were one of my sisters whining about my mom. My mom thinks she knows more than all her children (with our PhD's and Master's)...she'll rather agree with a street urchin than us. Lol. We know these weaknesses, but we love her the more. You are lucky to still have your dad who's the only person who can talk to her. My advice, stop arguing with her and keep buying her gifts... And keep loving her

just commit suicide and you'll be free from her forever.

Lol!

That approach will only create more emotional and health related crises, it will also break his/her mom's heart forever and she will live with that guilt for the rest of her life.

Your advice is hereby overruled

In fact, you need help! The manner in which you described your mother shows clearly that YOU SURE NEED HELP.

For God's sake, how can you be so ungrateful and immatured that you totally RIDICULED your mother with this useless post?

You even contemplated suicide because of these reasons.......YOU REALLY REALLY NEED HELP!!
Re: Pls Help, My Mum Is Suffering From Megalomania And Am Begining To Hate Her. by ThinkSmarter: 1:49pm On Feb 20, 2017
I suggest, u buy cheap Itel touch screen for her, or any other cheaper android in the mkt.
Choose to ignore her at times.
Getting infuriated and contemplating suicide over her actions is not the best.
I guess ur mom hv high ego that makes her think that her kid can't outsmart her in intelligence while in reality reverse z d case.
She thought that intelligence is by age.
Just, exercise perseverance in handling her, use wisdom.
Don't be rude.
Always overlook her actions.
Learn to handle and control ur temperament .
Good luck.

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.
even being anonymous does not justify this...i am thinking u could also do this kinda shii...one thing about life is being mentally strong...if another person's action is making u contemplate on taking ur life then bro ...u aint ready for life yet...continue defending morally decaded kids....

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

Your mum has a right to want what she wants, either she's literate or not. The question is: can you conveniently afford what she wants? If you can, then get it for her. It's none of your business why she wants it. If you can't afford it, explain to her, and I expect her to be reasonable.

If, rather than going at the issue from the angle of affordability, you question her need for the device, you will get wahala, and deservedly so. It would be your fault.

In the typical African (I repeat, African!) culture, your parents don't have to earn your respect or love by thinking or acting right. In Africa, that respect and love is assumed, at least within reasonable limits. Being overbearing, or demanding certainly falls in the ballpark of what African parents can do without expecting to lose the respect or love of their children.

BTW, I see nothing in your post to suggest megalomania. Just saying.

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...
I see nothing wrong in what the op said.. He was only trying to explain...

Seems most people are underrrating how mothers like controlling things (especially those who don't have CHRIST in them).
@Op; you're just seeing things that your dad has endured in life all this while. She's really having major issues.
Now, don't commit suicide for your mother's problem! Kindly love her the more. But, you must be ready to BATTLE HARD ESPECIALLY ON HER HAVING THE FINAL SAY ALWAYS.
(1) Leave her vicinity and go and stay on your own (let her hubby manage her).
(2) Make your presence scarce (not too much though; visit her once in a month).
(3) Ensure you make all the important decisions on your own life; NEVER GIVE IN TO HER BLACKMAIL.
(4) Love her the more. Loving people does not mean they can manipulate you. Just ensure you have a good and easy conscience towards her.
(5) If she doesn't NEED something (like that phone), NEVER buy it for her. When we were young, our mothers didn't always buy all things we fancy, they give us only the important stuffs. So, since mum is growing younger too, kindly use same logic; otherwise, you'll become more frustrated by the days.
(6)Pray for her everyday and NEVER EVER BRING HER MATTER to every dick and harry who doesn't have a knowledge about how to love and relate with mothers.

I agree with you; OP has issues he needs to work on.

But it is important that everyone has a chance to get things off their chest, no matter how awful (every one of us nurses dark thoughts from time to time). The crux of our disagreement is that you think he's disgracing his mum by calling her out in public, but I'm saying he's anonymous, which allows him to get stuff off his chest without really embarrassing himself or her. Or do you know their identities?

Annamma Unknowingly, You expect your mum to be same person she was when you were younger.smiley

When people grow older, its harder getting them to be agreeable unless you do it with a lot of patience and love.smiley

I'm sorry you almost felt like committing suicide but that's because you're..errrr...kinda ignorant as regards the elderly?smiley

Most peeps can relate with what you wrote but you on the other hand, didn't see it coming.smiley

Do you like to read? Do some research about the elderly; mannerisms, likes, dislikes and how to cope. The knowledge will build your tolerance I assure you.smiley

Plus, if the money is available, you've got to buy her that particular phone or give her the complete money to buy it.smiley

I know someone whose mother called saying she needed a flat screen Tv just only after recently buying her a different gadget she had requested for.

You gotta buy it.

Pls forgive her, "ungratefulness" and keep forgiving her. It's not going to be easy but just don't stop saying, "I forgive you" in your mind anytime she's acting up.

You're all going to be fine including Dad.smiley

Like most peeps have pointed out, this is exactly what your Mum must have felt while tryna raise you.

Say a prayer, "God I need your grace right now to be tolerant of Mummy. If you don't help me dear LORD, henhen.."

*As for that word "megalomania", I'd check it out later wink

This most likely sums up how your mom felt when she first had you..
Don't be such a deek,I know it can be frustrating at times but you just need to be patient with her. After all she was patient with you when you were niave till you became a know -it- all that can teach her things.

It should be noted that my reply is based on the assumption that you and your mother must have had a good relationship sometime.

You shouldn't talk about your mum in this manner! Honestly, I perceive you had an improper upbringing. That explains why you would paint your mother in such horrible manner.

Well, since you want others to teach you on how to cope with her, then I'd give you the little I have...

1. You were very greedy and ungrateful at some point in life but she swallowed your insensitivity and catered for you, even though you have branded her a lazy bum.

2. You are grown/growing and have attained the stage of responsibility, kindly repay her without complaining.

3. Trust me, you might be repaid in the same vein, if you don't map out plans to learn to make her happy.

4. If you cannot handle a 'megalomanic' mother, how on God's earth would you be able handle a nagging girlfriend/wife, if you don't have one, that is?

5. Your mum is obsessed with exercising power because she feels abandoned, that is just about the only way for her to be noticed. The same applies to a child whose needs are not met. They become rebellious just so they could be understood.

6. Your understanding of the word 'care' and 'love' is quite disgraceful. 'Timely assistance' is not enough. How about someone to talk with often? I mean her children; those ones who don't live with her?

7. Going by your post, I could deduce that your level of disgust for her is on a serious high; the one reason you would like to take your own life.

8. Mothers are demi-gods. I see mine that way. You should learn to start seeing yours the same. Every right thinking son/daughter/child should know this. You cannot have an unhappy mother/father and expect your sailings to be smooth.

9. You are a bad child, the same applies to your siblings.

10. Establish the place of communication with her often. She is hell bent on frustrating you because something is not right. Seek to write the wrong.

11. If you can do the above, then do what you propose - to commit suicide.
