For now, karma is waiting for u!

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

Megalomaniac you say? As people age, they tend to display funny, annoying attitudes. We just have to cope with it. That's what I meant by showing more love.

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.
most times or sometimes, you should let her have her way even if its so obvious she's wrong and you're right. Give her the power she desires and She'll get tired of it. Seems like you're a very strong willed person, but at the end, one person has to sacrifice their personal desire (in this case you)

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's 60+ for God's sake what do you expect?you have to be more tolerant

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?

Annamma:

Not now that you are enjoying your mum, i pray she doesnt develop megalomania. I was once the apple of my mum's eye. I never believed i could one day thought of killing myself because of my mum's unbearing attitude. pray it doesnt happen to you Mr Good boy.

Sitting at the dinner table, they ask you about your day.
You start complaining on and on how nothing goes your way.
Your friends are everything but true and you feel all alone.
You know it's time to make a move but you fear what's unknown.
You haven't smiled for a while and everything seems wrong.
You haven't felt quite like yourself in what feels like so long.
On and on you spill your tears in hopes of some advice,
But all they seem to have to say are words that won't suffice.
"Oh please get over it, you'll be fine, you're such a drama king/ queen,
Exaggerating every problem because you're just a teen."
You walk away and hear them laugh behind your troubled back
Not knowing that you really need help getting back on track.
They think your life's as simple as deciding black or white,
Not knowing it's the grays between that keep you up at night.
Your simple wish you hope to grant is to make them care,
To guide you through when in need and always have them there.
They think we have it easy in this new age world we're in,
but yet they never take the time to step where we have been.
They always think they're always right because they're in command,
But when will parents realize that they just don't understand?

chynie:
Dont buy it for her straight

send the money into her account and tell her to withdraw it and buy whatever she needs

she will be shocked at the cost and the value of money

so she will end up not buying it

Op she's your mom.
 Treat her as one.

 If you continue to exhibit this your
 idiatic character and she die this
 your hate will turn to love and na you go 
 cry pass for her plus
 you'll regret ever thinking you hated her.
 If you like don't love ya mama.

 Me wen nor get mama  dey wish say
 my mommy dey alive you wen get hate
 your own.Receive sense.

kiddoiLL:

RadicallyBlunt:
Well shes already getting old and no proper psychic therapy in naija. Manage her like that or fly her abroad for proper psychotherapy.

You're not alone in d matter, many women after menopause have several funny symptoms that u cant imagine. So just manage her like dat.

Annamma:
pls kindly check the meaning of megalomania.

Mr you said you 'beginning' to 
 hate your mama because of some
 psychiatric illness.
 That is NO reason to 'begin to hate' 
 a woman who had done nothing 
 wrong to you especially when
  that woman is your MOM.
 What exactly do you want advice for?
 Love Love and Love her

Annamma:
Pls without any intent of being insulting, just check the meaning of megalomania.. from there you will understand everything better.

Bro i fell ur pain, my mum is like that thou she's 40 yr, bt she nage alot, nothing pleases her, always comparing u with other guys, thou am just 23yrs bt i hate her. To be honest

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?

Lol at the highlighted part!
I can relate with your pains because I once experienced a similar situation with my mother inlaw who was just so impossible.

She wanted the entire world while she was in her village back in Nigeria and when I invited her to United States to see her daughter (my wife) and our newborn baby, she now started demanding for the entire universe which automatically earned her an immediate return ticket back to Nigeria after 2 weeks for a visit that was supposed to be for 6 months.

Your situation is more complicated because she is your mom. My advice to you is to do for her those things that are within your means that are very essential and other irrelevant demands should be ignored.

You can't please everyone at your own detriment and you can't kill yourself either for anyone!

Please, buy her an Android phone so she can now start browsing

youngdanee:
You don't still paint her that way in public. Take corrections.
