    Yes I expect my Mum to change her life, because I'm her son, shouldn't she love and care about me

    I will make the suggestion about cleaning thanks but she spends hours a week doing it, she is a bit OCD about cleaning

    Your mum expects you to change your life if you love and care for her - same argument!

    She should love and care for you, yes.

    But you're also a grown man, you aren't a baby, or a small child.

    She's your mother, shouldn't you care and and love her?

    You expect your mother to change things about herself, when you can't even be bothered to make small changes yourself, like get up earlier. THat's extremely unreasonable of you, all taking from her, and not giving anything back.

    I disagree, deodorant is butane which is a nasty gas. also why are cancer rates so high, all these perfumes and chemical cosmetics. I hate the invasive, chemical smells, honestly, I feel like I'm going to explode

    Evidence please? What are they going to do to you?

    If I ever become a millionaire or my Mum needs help, I'm going to just remember her of how she made me feel. That is one day I hope can happen, I know its bad taste, but I hope it makes her realise how she made me feel

    If I move out, I can see it ending the relationship for good

    You need to help yourself.
    You cannot expect other people to pander to you when you are too lazy or selfish to help yourself.

    Go and see a decent hypnotherapist they'll enable you to get rid of your phobias so you can live an easier life.

    It would be great if this would work but many people have fears and phobias which they are unable to even think about dealing with, it is all too overwhelming.

    If you'd lived 1,000 years ago, you wouldn't probably have had to worry about getting cancer at some later stage in life

    BEcause the chances are extremely strong you would already have died, during birth, childhood, at war, falling off things, from disease, all sorts of things.

    I sympathise - I couldn't stand the very strong perfumes from the 1980s - 1990s. dislike turned to a real allergy - I have had some bad asthma attacks from proximity to these perfumes, and even now find some perfumes cause me to have an attack (especially that sodding awful linx!).

    I too think you need to move out - It isn't your mum doesn't love you - but she doesn't really realise just how this is affecting you.
    I rarely buy a proprietary cleaning product - there is no need, vinegar, bicarb and good old fashioned soap can clean most things -and for the rest - a magic sponge doesn't give off toxic fumes.
    come down to old style for tips on using them.

    someone said how will I ever get a partner to have children, you are the type of person (if you're a woman) whom its possible with, thankfully there are other people with similar thoughts out there

    I really do hope you are 12 years old, not 22. Because the "that'll make her sorry!" is a reaction you should have left behind before you started to shave!

    Is it so wrong of me to think that she might breath a sigh of relief???
