My mum makes me so frustrated sometimes

Post Reply New Topic

No one believes that I will be able to be a vet in the future but my mum espically. She said if the ecomony does fail and I can't go to college perhaps I can get a job working for a vet and have good recources. I told her I need to go to college in order to be a vet but she dosen't think I can be one. My mum is always telling me to have a plan B but she dosen't let me have a plan A. I told her this same mentality is what made me pull my hair out two months ago. She got mad and told me to quit blaming her. She also says that I am weak and just looking for someone to blame. But her mentality IS what made me get so frustrated I pulled my hair out. I wish she would help me ask a vet to let me shadow them (i.e. help me think of what to say and drive me to the office and basicaly just be supportive and encoraging). She NEVER is supportive or ENCORAGING and is always telling me I need to be a tech or that there are other ways to work with meerkats. I don't want to just work with meerkats you know. Everytime someone suggests I should be a tech, I want to strangle them. My mum IS never supportive or encouraging of my goal to be a vet therefore she dosen't let me have a plan A. So frustrating. Thanks for letting me vent.

it is frustrating when people stand in the way of your goals.

Maybe u could try asking to do work experience at a zoo or vet clinic or something.
Some courses require a period of work experience to be done.

If being a vet is what u really want to do with your life then do what u have to do to get there.
It is your life after all, not your mother's.

Your mom sounds a lot like my mom. I'm going to school for massage therapy and my mom thinks I'm going to fail and if I do make it through she does not think I will make enough money. I wish she would just be supportive of something in my life instead of constantly telling me what I'm doing is not good enough. I hear it so much that I start to believe that I'm going to fail.

Noddy Hoders mother, even when he had reached a point where his band were famous and he was making alot of money, would always keep asking him, "when are you going to get a propper job?" Apparently she only realised that he was successful after he was on "This is Your Life."

And my mum wonders why I am so jelous of my neice who she is always saying can do whatever she wants if she puts her mind too it.
