mother whos never home

[savin me]

i love my family to death. i know it is weird but we're really close i feel like i can tell my mom stuff and my dad too sometimes. but they're always working and my mom travels on business alot and then she expects me to just come out and tell her stuff but i don't always feel like doing it. i just keep thinking if you wanna know you should be home more. i know its really irrational of me but i can't help it. my dad is home so much mroe than her. she's always away. its got its perks but sometimes i really need her and shes not there.

Are you sure your family is as close as you think?
Your mom has a job that requires alot from her. Some would say that as a mom she shouldnt be doing this, but its her choice, and hey, it pays them bills right? She just wants to talk to you, she probably wants to make sure that you know that you can always talk to her. Share somethings with her, talk to her, and even tell her how you feel! Tell her that you wish she was around more or that you want to be able to spend more time together.

I also feel pretty comfortable talking to my mom, more so than my dad. Unfortunatly, my mom also travels a lot for work, and my dad is the one who stays home with me. Don't get me wrong, i love my dad and sometimes we really do have good discussions, but i feel more comfortable talking to my mom. And most of the time me and my mom are pretty close. My advice to you, is that when your mom is home, spend as much time with her as u can. On regular weeknights when my mom is home, she usually stays up late and does work on her laptop in front of the tv. When i stay up for homework, usually i go downstairs on my way to the shower and we talk for a while and when i come out of the shower to go back to my room we talk for a while again. Little things like that help us stay close even though she travels a lot. I wish she didn't travel so much though.

talk to your mom about it. tell her how you feel. maybe she will understand and try to spend more time at home. think about where you would be if your mom didnt go out and work. she works hard to support your family and you have to respect her for that. tell her that you appreciate that she works so hard to support your family and that you love her but you miss her and wish that she was home more often. she will probably understand. your mom probably doesnt realize that you feel this way, im sure she would not want to hurt you.

My mother was murdered when i was 9, she went out one night and then never came home and her body was found days later. I miss her everyday of my life, not 1 day goes by where i dont think of her in someway, and trust me, its been 8 years since she died and i still havent gotten over it, take it from me Tell your mother how you feel before its 2 late, tell her you want her home more often, tell her you want 2 talk 2 her, you have 2 tell her how you feel it is very important cuz trust me you dont wanna have the pain that i have and if you never even speak 2 her, its like she basiaclly isnt there, dont let the relasonship between you and your mother fade away.

u are a very lucky person
1- u have a mom
2- u have a dad
3- u get along with both ur mom and your dad and could tell them stuff.

u said it urself. u can talk to both ur mom and ur dad, u just choose not too.
ur mom is always working, why is she working? so that your fmaily could have more money and can have easier lives. how unfair of her. really now.
parents are people too, theyre not created just for you thye have their own lives and u cant expect them to drop theres bc ur unhappy bc ur too immature to deal with the fact that theyre not always gunna be there for you.
i really dont mean to be offensive, honestly. i definately understand where youre coming from, ive felt the same way before its human nature. my mom and i fight constantly in fact, so badly that it disrupts the rest of the family, but i would never have the disrespect to tell her that i want her home more and that she's working too much. becasue she makes a 6 45 train to the city in the morning so maybe this week there will be more to eat, or we can buy something nice, or some debt will be paid off.
she wants to know whats going on in your life? ok. u dont want to tell her bc shes not home? ye i used that excuse a million times. when it comes down to it, thats not the reason why, u should try n figure out the real reason u dont want to tell her stff.

I hardly think that would be considered disrespect. I think that would be a sign of love--'i miss you when you go away for work' I understand why u might think that it would be disrespectful, but i dissagree.

I agree with your email.
ALso we don't have to tell our parents everything I sure don't.
Also don't fight with either of your parents if you can help it.
I know someone who kept fighting with their parents and than out of the fight one of them ended up getting sick from it. BAD... idea to yell or scream bad idea...and so not worth it.
