So, yesterday my mom bought me some more formula, but she got the wrong kind so she said she'd take it back. And then this morning my aunt offered to return the formula when she went to the store, and my mom went off on her. She started screaming that I needed to just suck it up and stop being so picky about the formula (1), because my mom isn't going to go out of her way to get me more (2). And then she yelled up the stairs for me, but I was in the middle of changing Jayden's diaper and I yelled back that I was busy. And she yelled back up that I needed to take care of my "own god-damned kid" because she was sick of doing it for me. (3)

(1) Okay, first, SHE was the one who said she'd take it back, and second, I'm "picky" about the formula because the formula I use doesn't make Jay gassy.

(2) How is my aunt taking the formula back making my mom go out of her way?

(3) Where the hell did this come from? It has nothing to do with formula! And anyhow, my mom's held Jayden exactly 6 times, changed her diaper 2 times, and burped her 4 or 5 times. I don't see her changing diapers 1000 times a day, popping out a boob to feed Jay, heating up formula, or staying up all night trying to get either a burp or a fart out of a gassy baby. How the hell can she think she's raising my child?

mom's know the best for THEIR children, not their grandchildren! Why can't grandparents get that through their head? my friend's mom's basically the same way and it drives her crazy. Her daughter is lactose intolerant, so her mom decided it was cute when she fed her some of her cream of broccoli soup from a spoon, needless to say, she threw up everywhere and wasn't a happy camper the rest of the day, but grandma had to leave for 'some reason'. GRR. I think it's actually nice living away from my mom, for that reason anyway...

I don't actually get what the big deal is here. You're lucky your mum went and got you formula for Jayden, from day one i've been the one going to get things for Mika, i walk half a mile to go and buy nappies and breast pads etc and if it rains i get soaked. Your mum is doing you a huge favour by letting you and Jayden stay at home, alot of mums wouldn't do that

She's not "letting" me stay, she's forcing me to. I want to move in with Jacob but I can't. And her buying formula doesn't do a damn bit of good if it makes her sick. Which it did. And then I get yelled at for wasting $25 because I won't give it to Jay.

Nope. I have to wait until I'm 17, or get emancipated, but I can't get emancipated because "I want to live with my daughters father" isn't a good enough reason.

Two more months though!

Doesn't having a child automatically make you emancipated?

If you really want to leave just go.

She can call the cops, you can tell them she's crazy and is causing a stressfull chaotic environment for you and your daughter.

I'm just saying, if I really didn't want to be at home I would make it happen, not just sit there waiting.

Sorry she's being like this. My mom will hold things in and then just blow up on me every now and then. I'm like, "woah, where the hell does this come from!" It sounds the same like with my mom.

Also, my mom can be really crazy and manipulative, so I know how crappy that is!

I remember her telling me if I moved in with Nathan she would get Rowan taken away from me. When I stopped breastfeeding she told me if I loved Rowan enough I would try harder. That is just a short list of the less offensive things she has said. When I did move out she survived, and calmed down, and it's actually been extremely healthy for our relationship now that she has accepted it (she's also getting therapy now though which probably has something to do with it too).

Hopefully the next two months go by fast for you.

I don't know about other states, but in AZ it doesn't. I already looked into it :/

I don't want to start crap that gets the cops involved... just gotta wait until I can legally move out.

My mom has hormonal problems too. She flips out on everyone, not just me. Being young, you guys have to prove yourselves even more. That must be tough.

Ouch. I think the worst my mom has said was I was going to give Jay herpes because I didn't get her diaper rolled up and in the diaper pail quickly enough Confused
