i know how horrible it sounds. but i can't do anything. i'm trapped. she never sees things my way. she expects me to live like she did as a teenager. i do everything she tells me, she complains i act distant. i can't be an actress 24/7.

i'm only 18 and i can't do this for the rest of my life. im on breaking point. my family always take her side - she's the oldest sister and got everyone married, etc.

i can't live trapped here. like a chained housewife. but i can't move out. she follows my every move, double checks everywhere i go, phones my friends if i'm out 10 mins too late. she emailed a uni when i went to the open day to make sure. she thinks i'm mad, wanting things my way sometimes. today she explained how she must have brought me up wrong, she thinks i went wrong when i was 10.

my computer, phone, books, etc are all in my room. so i spend most time at home there. she complains i don't spend enough time with the family. she forbids me from my room. i comply without a word. there's nothing to do downstairs, dad's on the computer, mum's watching tv. after time's up i go back upstairs. today she starts complaining again. most times i ask her to do normal things - 'no'. then today she challenges me, asking me when she has ever said no. i tell her, she gets angry.

i cant move out for uni. i think im gonna go mad, or something like it. i need an out.

on top of all this i know the sin of disobeying parents, hence i always do what she says. and yet she says i'm her biggest headache. my siblings are young, yet she compares me to them, saying they never ask the things i do.

she will never see my side. thats my realisation today. ive tried my hardest and it didnt work. now im lost.

tell them you wanna get married.


around that time, 17, 18 my mom used to call my friends too :p it was sooo annoying it be on my way home, maybe a few minutes late and she'd call asking where i am :smack: if she couldnt reach their cell phone she'd call their home phones! :eek:

i could never go to a freind's house without like my mom calling at least 10 times saying, did u eat? if u ate, come home. :rotfl: ommmgggggggg hahaha, its so funny now because theres a joke/comment/saying about Noakhali people that, always the last people to arrive and the first people to leave (after the meal is done).

so yeah, my advice would be to tell you're dad you're interested in marriage and move out then. if they say no threaten them with "i'll find my own husband" and then they'll budge.

maybe ur dad should stick up for you sometimes. if my mom attacks me, then my dad kinda tells her to back off a lil :p but i think he does that so he could be the good guy :rolleyes:

all i see is a mother looking out for her kid, all mothers should be like this, don't know what your problems is, be grateful you've got a mother who cares for you and does'nt want you to get hurt.

you really think she's checks up on you all the time jus to annoy you. your mother has seen the **** that young girls get into these day's and doesnt want you to end up being like them girls.

Sis please do not discourage her like that cuz a husband can do the above as well- marriage life is not a rescue mission by some knight on a horse.

Sis summer786, have you ever tried to talk with your mum, understand where she's coming from? Be her best friend, it looks like your mum has a ton of responsibilities esp being the eldest and that could burden her, why don't you aim to be the closest friend she has through love, affection, understanding and forgiveness?

She is your mother at the end of the day, if you cut yourself, she is the one that bleeds cuz she loves you loads.

I went through a similar thing with my mom so I understand where Summer is coming from. I understand that children cant often see the motives or reasons behind their parents' awkward behaviour and attitude towards them but if the child believes that his/her mother is challenging them - to excercise authority to make sure it still exists when your almost an adult - it's damaging to the long-term relationship they'll have.

Parents are often too ignorant to understand this and too arrogant to communicate and sit down to talk with their children; they see it as demeaning or irrelevant.

"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and do good to parents. If any one of them or both of them reach old age, do not say to them: uff (a word or expression of anger or contempt) and do not scold them, and address them with respectful words,

and submit yourself before them in humility out of compassion, and say, “My Lord, be merciful to them as they have brought me up in my childhood.”

-Quran 17:23-24

Even if she is a non-Muslim and tells you to go against Islamic teachings?

no of course!....this is the only exception.....but even when your parents (muslims or non Muslims) try to force you to do something against Islamic teachings you should refuse nicely.....not "no freaking way, infidel!".......the right way is to refuse and express your love in the same time

I remember when i used to feel like this, to the point i really disliked my parents. Parents always have a slight teething problem with the first child as it is something unknown.

I really need to ask sis, wen u sit with ur family regardless of how boring,annoying they are do you sit with them and just talk about stuff? smile and ask about i dont know anything, their childhood, their parents, anything/ It isnt always about OUR parents being on OUR level it is good to reverse the tables every so often so our parents feel as if they can talk to us and that we are adults.

I MashAllahum Barik have a better relationship with my parents now (after marriage) then b4, coz now i can see things from their point of view. As a wife and mother i now imagine how hard it must have been for my mum and all the things going through her mind as we were growing up.

Try to think of ur parents as new friends that u have to get to know. I know this is really corny but inshAllah it may help ur relationship. Being a good daughter isnt just about aboeying ur parents especially if inside u are resenting them.

I am here in yemen and my parents are in london and i miss them sooooo much. I think of all the things i did to upset them and all the things i cud have dun to make them happier and i didnt........:(

I miss sitting next to my mum while she talked about the same thing over and over, my dad complaining about all his health problems... I really hope inshAllah that wen i return Allah makes me a better daughter and a better companion for my parents.

You don't know what u got til itz gone..........

the sin of being mean to your parents is the most similar sin to Kufr imho

like the kaffir is ungrateful to God who is the most worthy of gratitude....the bad son/daughter is also ungrateful to the most humans worth of gratitude.......

if you are not grateful to your parents you can't be grateful to God

I agree with Omar, your mum only wants to protect you.

I believe there's a communication problem too. It's quite usual for ppl in their late teens to want to "handle" things themselves, and by that, they dont discuss happenings (simple things like school, future plans, want to buy a new dress, shoe, etc.) with their family. I think at that age everyone is trying to "be an adult" by weaning him/herself as much as possible from their family. PPl at this stage should also be aware that this may hurt their family, and so should try to find things/activities that they share a liking for with their family, and try to do them often. Parents should also be aware of this tendency in their kids and try to bring themselves to their level in order not to become distant from their parents.

... and this is where I agree with Kal-El: most parents are too arrogant to communicate with their kids.

I think instead of attacking, parents should extend the olive branch and try to come to the level of their kids..... afterall, even at thirty, people go to their parents for advice and consultation. A parent's guidance doesnt end when one becomes an adult!

... but I believe knowing this, you will also be patient with your mum and grab every "good" moment you have with her to show her how good you are.

from her post doesn't sound like she's nasty to her parents at all, afterall she obeys them

Kal-El

You can't keep the birds in the nest. They're children will grow into women, into men but the parent will still see their child. When they're in their late teens it becomes difficult to enforce your laws and rules upon them as they thrive for independance - its a natural need for any human to have that level of freedom over their lives.

Sooner or later, the parent realises that they have to "let them go" and get on with their lives, eventually they will begin to see the woman/man in their son/daughter. But the process in them seeing this will impact their relationship.

There's nothing wrong with respecting and feeling gratitude towards your parents; what warm blooded decent person wouldn't? But there is an underlying fact that there will be personality clashes during this period of your life.

The only advice I can get is just study hard, earn a living and become financially independent to demonstrate to your family that you're old enough and responsible enough; because your parents will not just willingly let you go if they still see a child. They want to protect you. Help yourself, by helping them realise you are no longer a child.

Write your mum a letter, tell her how bad she makes you feel when she does what she does. Dont forget to tell her you love her at the end.

At least that way she is forced to listen to you without interruption.

She probably has no idea how you feel, or how suffocating her behaviour is.

yes parents can be too arrogant to communicate with their children but we as inshallah practising muslims can we not give dawah to our parents?

I had a hell of a relationship with my parents throughout my teenage years and now i regret it. After every hardship comes a time of ease. This is the Promise of Allah SWT to the believers. sister this is ur test and how u manage this test and get through it will affect u later.

You said that u can not go on like this for the rest of ur life but inshAllah you will not be with them for the rest of ur life. U gona hit the real world one day luv dont u worry about that!!!!!

Parents are not perfect and neither are the kids! My grandparents still complain about my parents lol. It is normal but it all seems to weigh a ton when u are a teenager.

My advice is Make dua to Allah to increase ur patience and aid u in benefiting urself and ur parents and inshAllah gain reward via this, while u are still in this dunya and able to gain reward......

I doubt very much that the last 19 yrs (including pregnancy) was a piece of cake for ur mum and that she was luvin every minute of it.

Whether u get married in 2 yrs, 5 yrs or 10 yrs inshAllah u will get married and leave so just hold tight. Life outside ur parents home isnt a bed of roses regardless of how educated you get, how much money u earn, how independant u get. None of that does it unless u have the Deen to guide u though life.

I do not and would not encourage any muslim sister to move out of her home if she is not married unless her family are disbelievers and cause her hardship. This is a incredible opportunity for shaytaan to come to them and spread mischief. May Allah protect and guide the muslims parents and children from the whisperings of shaytaan.Ameen

There is a VERY good reason why the Prophet SAW said that the rights of the mother are first and foremost after obeying Allah and his messenger SAW.

Be patient sister and just think that everytime to smile at ur mother u will gain reward inshAllah, everytime you hold ur tongue, u will gain reward inshAllah, every sweet word that u say will be a reward inshAllah.:inlove:

i was gonna post this hours ago in reply to bro omar's post but my internet connection went down, and then i had to leave and bla bla bla ....

but anyways

brothers will never know how that feels because theyre always given so much more freedom.

bro omar you're right about her mom not wanting her to be like those types of girls, but it's not easy when you know you're not doing anything wrong but everyone is acting like you are.

there is a way to go about making sure your kids arent getting involved with the wrong people doing wrong things. her mom is complaining about her being at home in her room :scratch: its understandeable for mom to call whenn you're out, she's just checking up with you, but to nag while at home is just a little silly :p

its harder for brothers to understand this because they are always given so much more freedom. you're allowed to go out when you want for whatever you want. there are a lot of guys who arent under the tiniest bit of surveillance from their parents and trust me, they arent the best citizens of society either :smack:


Sis please do not discourage her like that cuz a husband can do the above as well- marriage life is not a rescue mission by some knight on a horse.

i know sis, i was showing her her options :o

make duaa to Allah subhanaahu wa ta'aala and you'll see changes...trust me! Never under-estimate the power of duaa:) Personally, all i can say to you is to keep obeying your mother and maybe even trying to spend time with her, even though that may be difficult, force yourself!...Allah will make it easy insha-Allah. Go with her to your local masjid for halaqa's etc. Don't let the shaytan make you lose hope and think that marriage is a solution to this problem. Imagine you get divorced after you get married? [God forbid] what are you going to do then? You have to approach this situation now and insha-Allah ta'aala you'll be alright:)

Sister,
have sabr please,
your mum might be driving you crazy but she is just being a mother, she worries about you, about the fitnah in the world and your character and deen inshaallah.

I have seen many parents give their daughters "freedom" and the girls end up in serious trouble as their parents were not strict enough. While you may think your mother is at the other end of the spectrum have sabr you will not live at home forever inshaallah.

heres a lil story for you,
a sister i know grew up complaining that her dad was oppressive, he drove his daughters to school and back every single day, he didnt allow them to visit friends unless he approved of them, he scripmed and saved and sent his only son to a strict islamic boarding school where all TV, computer games and films were forbidden, His daughters complained they were not allowed "a life" his son resented being sent away from everyone..

now 15 years later...

all his children are married islamically, not one got caught up in the while fitnah of life with boyfriends /girlfriends etc..
his children all practise, his son is Hafiz Allhumdulilah and works in the local masjid (remember a man whos heart is attatched to the masjid will be in the shade of Allah )

his children still moan that he is strict and "impossible " to reason with, but Allhumdulilah this strong willed man has managed a miricle..hes kept his family within Islam in this land of serious fitnah Allhumdulilah.

So have sabr, something you might think is bad for you might infact be whats best for you and your deen inshaallah.

Assalam alakium sister i know this is such a long post but please bear with it and read until the end inshaALLAH

I can see lots of different things going on here, I can certainly hear what you’re saying and I also hear what your mum is saying through you.
It appears to me that you’re looking for some freedom and choices which, at the moment you’re unable to have as your mum is, always telling you what to do ,always checking up on you, doesn’t want you to do this or that. There is a lot of dictatorship going on here; your mum wants you to be like her when she was in her teenage years. Have you ever wondered what she was like when she was a teenager, has your mum ever spoken to you about herself, her childhood her teenage years. You could ask her the way her parents bought her up and what she liked and disliked about her parents handled things.
Maybe you could sit down just the two of you or go away from the house for half an hour for a walk or something and have some time which is ‘ mine and mum’s’ time where there are no distractions from anyone else. That could possibly be a starting point to bridge your relationship with your mother.
I may be wrong but I’m just trying to get a better picture here, but it seems when you both interact there are angry/upset feelings around? It might be worth talking to your mum when you both are calm, not stressed out or angry.
I really really wished I could have a better relationship with my mother but I always felt that I was being treated like a kid, it was so difficult to get my point across because I was always wrong. But over the years as I’ve grow up, matured, married I honestly believe it was in my power to do something about that relationship but at that time I didn’t have anyone guiding me or helping me to build a good healthy relationship with my mum. As someone said earlier on and I love how they explained that ‘ parents have teething problem with their first child’ <<<<<<<<<<< that I feel is the key problem. Parents just don’t know how strict or lenient they should be with their child because they are experimenting with the first child!! Yeah I know it’s unfair but what can we do!!!!

You know what I feel, I feel that your mum misses you a lot. I feel she may be wondering ‘where has my little angel gone’ ‘why has she grown up so fast …. ‘ you know you mentioned she doesn’t like you going in your room….have you ever wondered why? Why can’t you stay in your room you’ve got everything you need…. She just wants you in front of her eyes because one day you’re going to leave her and the house she can’t get enough of you I guess you might be thinking ‘ well she has a funny way of showing it’ and you are right because she doesn’t know any other way to express herself

Just a quick question sister, I don’t want an answer, this is something for you to think about. when was the last time you said ‘ I love you mum’ or just randomly hugged her, got her a bunch of flowers just imagine your mum’s face and that beautiful smile you’ll get from her and her heart filled with so much love that tears build up in her eyes……

Sister I know this is such a long post but this subject of motherhood is so important for me and off course everyone I just wish that I could give you something that I was longing to hear when me and my mum were never getting along.
Now that I’m married I feel me and my mother have become so closer and I feel treated like an adult but I wished I had some time to spend with her in a peaceful way , although our disagreement was mainly on Islam but I still wish I could have done things differently. Just remember your mum will always be your best friend and that’s what I’ve realized.

I love my mum I wish I could just hug her right now but I can’t but you can sister… :love:

I understand what you mean ive been in that position to, my mum she always says the silliest things to me like scrub the walls and the doors so i would do it but also at the same time used to argue with her but Alhamduillah things are much better as now i don't say a word. i let her moan and say stupid things like do this and that what are ur future inlaws going to say (i think she's training us:rolleyes:) but now i have realised i ain't going to be here for long and nor is she.

When u get that "fed up" feeling just take a deep breath and think of Allah and death then Inshallah u will be ok.

salaams sister
i think many people go thru tug and pull situations with their parents.
maybe you could spend time downstairs at a similiar time each day for a similiar period (say an hour each day) before going upstairs. that way ur comprimising.
if shes busy watching telly then just sit next to her or near her.
as for her checking up on you, thats pretty normal for parnets to do to!! keep telling her where ur going, who with and how long ul be. that way she can see that she can trust you.
if nothing works then just keep doing sabr as remember u will get reward. and paradise lies at your mother's feet, no matter how trying ur mother is!!!

Sister I know this is such a long post but this subject of motherhood is so important for me and off course everyone I just wish that I could give you something that I was longing to hear when me and my mum were never getting along.
Now that I’m married I feel me and my mother have become so closer and I feel treated like an adult but I wished I had some time to spend with her in a peaceful way , although our disagreement was mainly on Islam but I still wish I could have done things differently. Just remember your mum will always be your best friend and that’s what I’ve realized.

I love my mum I wish I could just hug her right now but I can’t but you can sister… :love:

Walakium Assalam

I agree with yasmin, maybe you should get her something to cheer her up, flowers etc...Im not saying you do this but when she talks to you, try replying to her with respect, peacefully, calmly...at the end of the day a mothers love is the most important. If she gets mad at you, look at her and just smile! she prob dsnt trust you so checks up on you all the time but that will come through time and age inshallah. Also try to keep up with prayers, im sure that will help inshallah
