I was watching tv today when my mom came in the room interrupting me to ask me if I had done something. I answered her but she still hung out in the room fumbling with some stuff, so I asked what she was doing. This is when she got really upset and started yelling at me that it doesn't matter and you cant ask me that and this is my right to be here when all I did was ask what she was doing. And then she said you know what Im unplugging the tv right now and took away the remote and hid it despite me trying to reason with her and say I was just asking what she was doing I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. But she wouldn't listen and said Im never getting the tv again. Wth?????? And this came completely without ANY warning, I swear. I am so upset because now I will never be able to watch tv again and have nothing to do all because I simply and politiely asked a question!!

your mom was obviously upset about something else and your question triggered her. i am certain when she calms down she will realize she is being unreasonable and giive you the tv back. just give it time. take care.

Your mom obviously has issues and overreacted to something. My dad was the same way. Is there another adult in your life you can talk to, maybe one who is more reasonable?

Wait a minute.... 5 posts, all of them TV related, and going back to November. What's going on here?
Thanks for this!

She found your Achilles' tendon. You know what that means? The weakest link in the chain. Somehow you have to convince her that TV is the be all end all to your life. Find something else that you won't care if she takes away (of course make a big fuss about it). Let her take it and you keep your TV. I know.... Very sneaky.

There is a real lack of information here.....but it seems like you have had this problem for quite some time now, at least since last November.

Facts you have stated in other posts: you are 26 & the only reason that you can't work is because you can't multitask & any work you could do, you feel would be boring so you can't or won't look for a boring job that you can do well at.

So what do you do all day around the house except for watching TV?

Do you do work around the house to earn your room & board at the age of 26?
