This is a question to all the ladies who are mum's! My mum seems to always be nagging me, dont do this, do this blah blah blah.

Is this normal or is it just my mum?

Am I really doing everything wrong or something?

The problems is that teenagers' priorities are a bit skew. It is not always their fault. It has a lot to do with brain development and maturity etc. Moms really know better even if you don't believe it, so we nag to get you to understand what is important and what is not. That is the way you will learn. Live with it and remember it is because she loves you that she wants to help you. It would be much worse if she just left you to do whatever you want.

If you keep on repeating your mistakes, they really tend to nag. Do you listen to her whenever she talks? You better do that and don't talk back. It would worsen the situation.

If a child is obedient, there could be no reasons to nag. Nagging is very annoying however, we have to think the positive side. It is just a constant reminder not to commit the same mistakes again. Do you tell your mother that you're sorry for what you have done? It would somehow help lessen the nag.

Nice thread I was wondering the same thing since my mom likes to nag at me all the time. O.O It's really annoying it's like you're being pressured everytime you're being nagged and mostly it doesn't help.

It is not just your mom. My mom is the same and so is hers. We tend to nag because we try to get our point across, or for us who have younger children, we need to repeat ourselves because that is how the young children learn what to or not to do. I am not sure how old you are but what we do is not really nagging - it is basically our way to teach the children how to be.

Im a mother of 4 kids,my eldest is 18 and my youngest is 8.Its just normal for us parents to nag sometimes if they're doing their mistakes repeatedly.But overnagging can cause them to become more unprudent,coz they're already use to hear your nags,instead of telling them in a calm and nice way.Being patient is one of the most admirable thing a mother should have in bringing up her children,the same way a child should be to his/her mother.

I am a mother of 4 children also. My oldest is 20 and my youngest is 9. They will tell you that as you get older you realize that the nagging your mum does is because she is concerned for you. She only wants what is best and sometimes the only way a mum can get their child to listen is to nag.

My mother nags as well. I really don't like it because she always recalls my previous mistakes whenever we argue. She don't listen to me when I try to explain. I would suggest that you listen to whatever she says. It irritates me a lot but I have to understand. Now that I have my own kids, I make sure that I won't commit the same mistakes. Why should we nag if we could just sit down and talk about the issue?

I've never had kids, but I think it's a normal mother thing to nag lol
