F18 and mum47
I feel terrible my mum is the best mum I could wish for, if anyone knows why I’m like this please can you tell me how to stop this. I’m not sure if it’s from my adhd or not.
TL;DR For example she can have a quick convo with me and I get irritated whilst she can do nothing wrong. This has gone on for about a year now. Also doesn’t help as she always talks about the same things to me like chores, jobs etc. I’ve talked to my mum about this but she just argued with me and says I am her mum and shouldn’t be like this.
I would love to change but not sure why I’m like this and if I can change it. I am fine with everyone else but her.

Change will happen gradually. You are so young. it’s wonderful that you are aware of this problem and want to fix it.
For now, just tell her this. Acknowledge that you get impatient with her for no reason and tell her that you feel bad about it. It will make her so happy.
And tell her you love her. Life is short and you only get one mum.
If you’re getting irritated having the same conversation over and over again, then maybe listen to what your mum is saying and change your behaviour?
If she’s always talking to you about chores is it because you aren’t doing your chores? It’s hard to be patient if you feel like she’s nagging you, but is there something you can do to change the pattern?
