Mother is seriously ticking me off

I've told her time and time again to leave the area around the tulips alone because I want to make a bed. Yet she keeps throwing down grass seed. The she goes and mows down my purple tulips saying they were dead. The had blooms on them on Friday. I told her multiple times last year to leave the foliage alone as the bulbs need it. But does she listen? NO! She even tried saying "Well they're my tulips, I can do what I want." No they aren't! I bought them, I planted them, I want her to keep her d****ed hands off them!
She doesn't know the first thing about gardening and she wont listen to any of my advice. She throws down grass seed every year on the same empty spots, then wonders why it doesn't grow when she doesn't -do- anything. Doesn't prepare the soil, doesn't keep it safe from birds, hardly even waters it!
Pretty much any plant she buys(usually just shrubs and trees) she just plops in the ground and expects it to grow. No soil prep what-so-ever. They do grow, but they struggle.
She wont take any of my advice at all. It all goes in one ear and out the other, cause I'm the child so she doesn't have to listen to what I have to say.

Ya'll have noooo idea the frustration I have... I really want to leave, but I have literally only a piggy bank full of pennies right now... I couldn't leave if I -had- to....

I think I'm done venting now....

You can yell nd scream all you want to on here and we will listen to you but please don't at your mom.I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you.After saying that I need to say this.I hope you can grasp through your anger what I am about to say .I wish I could hear my mom fuss at me just one more time as she passed away in 1998.I know one day you will look back and wish you had held you commits back.I hope you don't think I'm taking sides with her as I really do understand what you are going through.

Some people just don't understand gardening and won't listen to any advice. My mom was just the opposite. She could grow just about anything. We moved so often she was always starting over. Maybe you could talk to your mom about a space of your own that she wouldn't have any thing to do with. Have you tried talk to her about doing the yard work yourself so she wouldn't have to worry about it. Maybe that would work. But, Glendann is right, you only have one mother and you will miss her when she isn't around. I miss my mom lots of times and she died in 1990. dooley

I'm with Dooley, try to get a space defined as your very own. Squabbling with mothers is what children do, no matter how old they get. I guess it's a bit hard for her to realize you actually know what you're doing. You're her baby after all.

Him??? Last time I looked, I had all the parts necessary for being a female. And I still cant stand my mother. And I do believe she would be more than happy for me to leave home.

Bip I hope you can manage to forgive her as we all can be a***es at one time or the other.Maybe this is her time.
When growing up I thought my mom and dad were so stupid and the older I got the smarter they got and by the time I was 30 they were the smartest people I knew.
I pray things work out ok with you and your mom.
