My MOTHER has social problems too ?!?!?!

Post Reply New Topic

She had a fight with one of her church friends while shopping today. Apparently my mother said something wrong and her friend took offence. My guess is mum probably said something critical & tactless about her friends daughter, but that is just MY guess.

It's made me a little concerned...........

I've never really stopped to think about my mothers social life (because me = self absorbed ) and I've realised that she only has two close friends ATM, even though she does a lot of activities like Linedancing, Rock-n-Roll dancing and Church. There hasn't been many times when she has met up with fellow linedancers outside of linedance classes, except for one of her close pals whom she met years ago. Mum then helped her through a messy divorce which her friend still b*****s about to this very day. Mums friend was the linedance instructor actually.
My mothers other close friend is a blonde lady on a disability pension and SHE is the one mum had the fight with.
It may be for the better if they're not friends anymore. Besides, all this friend does is ring up asking for favours, and when they go somewhere for coffee mum is the one who ends up paying.

I'm tempted to ring my Grandmother and ask if mum had many friends during her school years.


Can anyone relate thier parent to mine?

Most mothers have poor social skills.
I have no idea why, but it seems like not knowing what the Hell you're saying (or implying) when you're talking to other people is an essential part of being a parent. Which is why the majority of young people over the age of fourteen would rather not be seen in public with their parents.

Are you wondering if your mom is an Aspie too? Because I have been wondering the samething lately about my mom. I haven't seen much on how to identify an aspie adult. -Especially one that has no idea that they are Aspie. How does an Aspie adult mature if they are completely unaware? What are they like when they are old?

My mom has almost no friends and manages to rub most everybody the wrong way. She asks way too personal questions and likes to debate and argue with people about 'her subjects' to no end. She talks constantly and talks to herself too. She is also very critical and says very inapropriate things.

My mother is not capable of recognizing how what she says will make other people feel.
Also, my mother can't let go of most "injustices" and will talk about them for years and disolve the only relationships she has over the dumbest things.

Is your mom like that?

It would make sense that your mum has AS, since you do. I think my dad has AS.

I think both my dad and my step-mom have some sort of issues. Although, I don't think they are AS. It makes things more complicated.
