Am i being a bad daughter?

Me and my mom fight constantly. its always my fault tho because i don't clean my room or something stupid like that. i dont help out around the house (not that my mum asks me to) but she has 4 kids and shes a single mom. i feel like i am being a bad daughter. i just got a room makeover and my mom waisted alot of money on it and i realise she doesnt have privacy. she has to sleep in the living room in her queen bed because their arent enough rooms in the house. Am i a bad daughter? If so how can i make it up to my mom? im 13 and i only now understand how horrible and selfish i can be. :(

    *ponders* How about you start helping around the house without asking for her permission, and you stop asking for stuff?

    Well, you have made the first step...realizing your selfish ways.

    Next, put elbow grease where your mouth is. Wash dishes for her, clean your room, get organized. Your mom is having a tough time. You know this now. Maybe you do her bed and take dishes in to be washed. All of this doesn't count unless you do all of this without mom nagging you. Take the garbage out.

    These things are not fun in themselves, but provide you with pride and mom will really notice the difference. Help her to cook, make salad, set the table, get the little ones to wash their hands and ready for dinner.

    I guarantee that mom will really honor you and your arguments will lessen greatly.

    Way to go kiddo!

    well theres nothing u can do about your house being too small but I think you should try and help out more around the hous, try and be tidy and organized and help with the cooking and cleaning, also make sure u go to school and lessons and that u ar good and u behave and work hard in school, if u dont hav money around dont waste however much u hav and just be a good nice daughter to make ur mom happy.

    No because if ur thinking of it its unlikely u r. Just help around the house without her asking, help make dinner, help kids get ready for bed type things. She will love u if u do the little things. My mum's single & she loves it if i help little bits around the house cause its the little things that count.

    You're in your angsty hormonal stage. Try to keep a level head, and always think before you say things. You're not being a 'bad' daughter, but you should try to understand that you might only be arguing because of bodily changes you aren't completely aware of.

    As for making it up to her, I imagine you're in school, so make her something in an art class!

    sure. you're. as a results of fact you stated "guardians" i'm assuming that your parents won't be able to or won't improve you and those people, out of the goodness of their hearts, opened their residing house to you. So, sure, you're being rotten and ungrateful.

    Oh sweetie you aren't a bad daughter but now that you relize your moms struggles just do things here and there to let her know that you appreciate what she does

  • 9 years ago
