My Mother Breaks Me From Dictation

By melrobbinslive October 31, 2020 20 answers Last updated October 31, 2020

Hi, I want to complain to my mother. She constantly harasses me with some dictations. I am 14 years old and I don't think it is right for him to dictate different words to me like a child in the second grade. He comes home from work and tells me, "Bring a piece of paper and a pen, let's write." I sit at the kitchen table, and she starts cooking or washing dishes and dictates words to me so that I have learned not to make spelling mistakes. . This lasts for about half an hour. I'm not tired or anything, but I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. I know you're going to say I have to stand up to her, but I can't. She never hit us (I have an older brother), I don't even remember her ever screaming, except once when my uncle and I tried to light our cat's mustache. That was years ago. She saw us and shouted "No!". For the first time we heard her shout and we were shocked. Then she didn't shout anymore. Just that word. Dad ran from the other room and asked what was going on, she told him. Then at dinner we discussed that we should take care of the animals, not harass them, because they are more vulnerable than us and trust us not to hurt them. My mother doesn't shout, she doesn't fight and she doesn't hit us, but still, you can't oppose her. Saying, "Bring a piece of paper and a pen!" I can't say anything, I just listen to it, bring it and start. My friends at school make fun of this. I was told I was crazy because I let him treat me like a baby. But you can't deny her anything. My uncle jokingly calls her General. He has also written a lot, even more than me, and he tells me it's for my own good and not to be angry with her. I only tried not to write once, and she said, "Okay, but on one condition. If you write twenty words without a spelling mistake, I won't tease you anymore. "I failed. I had mistaken the word 'consequence.' I wrote it 'consequence.' I don't know why I was so confused, I know it's spelled together. My mom explained that the whole thing is a pretext and there's no point in parting. And the other word I got wrong was “screwdriver.” I didn’t know it was spelled with that T inside. I really wanted to prove to her that I can now write correctly and stop these dictations, but I failed and they continue. What can I do to convince her to stop treating me like a baby If I tell her that I feel like it mock, because of this, will it have an effect? I won't tease you anymore. I failed. I had mistaken the word "consequence." I wrote it "consequence." I don't know why I was so confused, I know it's spelled together. My mom explained that the whole thing is a pretext and there's no point in parting. the other word I got wrong was “screwdriver.” I didn’t know it was spelled with that T inside.

   Do not object at all or feel uncomfortable in front of your friends, but be grateful to your mother for paying attention to you and patiently explaining to you what and why. One day you will even be proud to write competently in Bulgarian

   Honestly, at 14, dictating seems too much to me. Spelling is taught at most to 5th grade. Your mother seems to be a teacher ... Explain to her how you feel and that this has a negative effect on you mentally. In addition, proper writing is learned by reading books. Read more and try to convince her. You can always, though rarely, miss a word or wonder how to spell it. He has a spelling dictionary for reference, remind him of his mother.

   Congratulations to your mother for helping you, in time you will be very grateful and confident. Our educational system is low and full of illiterate people, I have seen terribly rude and unacceptable mistakes by students. I also have gaps, and I'm 20. There's no point in sharing with your friends if they don't understand you. Tell them your mother has already stopped dictating.

   You may find it annoying now, but literacy is very important, so don't be angry with her, but be glad that you have a caring mother who cares about you. Because no matter how good a specialist you become in a certain field, if you can't write an official letter without spelling mistakes, no one will take you seriously, and if you want to be a genius. Therefore, do not accept it as a punishment, but as another attempt of your mother to ensure you a better future.

   And I will say one thing to your mother. At first I really liked the way you listened to her without screaming. Such parents are rare today. It's just that our time is very stressful, we are very nervous and easily irritated. And your mother is obviously a balanced woman and manages to cope with stress. Secondly, I really liked how she judged the time. Half an hour is not much. You say yourself that you do not get tired. It's uncomfortable only because your friends have decided it's something they can mess with. Thirdly, I really liked this General. Apparently your brother is much older than you. You say he's joking and he's telling you it's for your own good. And he's right. Apparently he has already realized and seen the benefits of being able to write competently. Fourth, I was impressed by how your mother combines housework, caring for her family, and her usual job. The dictations are, while she washes or cooks. Thanks to your mother. Honestly. Take an example from her - that's all I can say. And talk to her - yes. Tell her they're making fun of you. Share with her everything that bothers you. She will have adequate advice. You write correctly and that means your mother did a good job. my god, and i wouldn't write a screwdriver correctly. I don't remember having to use that word. And now I know and I will not expose myself tomorrow. And it would never have occurred to me that it came from spinning. I also really liked the fact that he explains to you when you make a mistake so that you understand. You have a wonderful mother. Love the General. The dictations will stop soon ... ask your uncle how long it took. When did she stop dictating to him? Share with her everything that bothers you. She will have adequate advice.

   You have a very strong mother. And I would be wrong "screwdriver". :) I support number 7 in all paragraphs.

   Your mother is a very good parent. It's hard for you because you're entering puberty now, and this is the time to rebel, to fight more with friends and less with parents ... it's normal. Look at it this way - when you stop making mistakes, she will stop making you write on her own. It must be difficult. If it weighs so much on you, talk to her like a big person, offer a deal - for example, to read a number of books for a certain period, something like that. This will be just as useful to you and will enrich you.

   I want to tell you 1 story from today, which proves once again that spelling is very important. I'm waiting in line for a doctor in private honey. center, where everything should be at the level of buildings, equipment, staff, documents. While I was waiting, I decided to go for a walk and read what was written on the doors - schedules, titles, etc. On the first door it was written - "a doctor who takes on the following schedule - Monday from to, Thursday from to, etc." . On the second, everything was fine, but on the third - "please don't knock, you'll be called" there is no "her", an exclamation mark or a comma, not to mention "uh"; there was not 1 correctly spelled word in the chart. I jumped to the reception - there is a young girl who could not give me a meaningful answer for spelling mistakes !!! And considering that the one who wrote it gets paid, the picture becomes colorful.

   What so much that you make mistakes when writing. Today it is fashionable to be illiterate. To write in Latin, to make spelling mistakes, to use numbers instead of letters. It's even better to write illiterately to tell others that you're cool. If you write correctly without any spelling mistakes, they will think you are very stupid.

   Author, please tell me why your girlfriends know exactly what you are doing with your mother. This is one of your mistakes, telling your friends, your homework, if they didn't know, how would they make fun of you? Otherwise, your mother is doing well, a future lady should be able to write beautifully and correctly.

   The worst impression makes me when a nice girl, to whom I just took Skype or Facebook, starts writing to me in Latin or illiterate. "I don't know", "I can't" ... When I see such a thing, I tell them that it is written separately, and they get angry that they are simple. Then they continue with things like "6te pisha kakto si iskam !!!" or "da ne si mi ba6ta mi 4e da me u4i6".

   Accept that instead of sending you to lessons where a teacher will dictate to you, she just dictates to you. It's not too late for dictation until you really stop making mistakes. Do you know how many children in seventh grade go to school to do well in high school and if they write, write, but their parents pay for it. You can learn to write correctly faster if you read more books - then you will instinctively know if you spelled the word correctly, because if you misspell it, it will catch your eye - you will have a visual memory of the word spelled correctly, as you saw her in the books.

   Author, you have the smartest, most wonderful mother you should be proud of and learn from, imitate and strive to be like her, not complain. It's good that there are still such mothers. The effect of the dictations is great! You write shockingly competently and correctly, with which I congratulate you! But you know it's her fault, don't you? Stop telling your windy friends what's going on in your house! Love and respect this wonderful mother and be grateful from the heart!

   At the age of 14 we already had dictations in English, your mother still wants to teach you in Bulgarian. Say you've already learned. If she cares so much about you to teach you something new.

   There are days when it doesn't matter how you spell "screwdriver". Otherwise, my spelling is hesitant. It's good spelling, but it's hesitant and the letters go in the wrong places. Greetings from Winnie the Pooh :)

   Thanks to everyone for the comments. Dad is much older than me. Our difference is 7 years. The reason my friends know about these dictations is an essay I took to the Literature Olympiad. Our teacher always praises me for writing correctly. He once asked me how I had learned, and I said that the credit went to my mother, who dictated to me at home. And they started laughing. My mother is not a teacher. She works in a clothing store. By the way, I shared my worries with her. She told me that there would always be people who would make fun of me, others who would enjoy me, and that the choice of how to accept their opinion was entirely mine. He said I might be angry or not particularly excited. He finally asked me if I wanted to stop dictating, but I refused. I read all your comments and thought of something else. I know that being literate is important and that not being able to write correctly is funny, but I was thinking of something else. This half hour is our time. Sometimes it's a lot of fun even. So, I refused to stop, but I asked her to build another schedule. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I will have dictations, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays he will teach me to cook :) Saturday and Sunday are completely free for me to do whatever I want. I read books. I am currently reading "Brothers with Lion Hearts". Thank you all for your kind words.

   Author, your mother is doing the best for you. Well done for the attention and work that a woman does to prepare you, but also to have time spent with you. If she wasn't like that, you wouldn't have this success in literature. At one time, our teachers prepared us very well. Now, when I read the speeches of young people on the forums, with so many spelling mistakes and lack of good speech, the level of education becomes clear to me. But otherwise with pretensions to study higher. What self-confidence without coverage they only have ... Well, we don't have a university degree, but we are taught to write correctly and with thought. We have been living abroad for a long time and my daughter (who has been with us since she was 3 years old) is now 13 and a half and has never been to a Bulgarian school. I take care of the "training" at home. The only place where Bulgarian is spoken is at home. Now he knows English perfectly, but the Bulgarian is lost. But I do not give up. We read, write, talk. My main task is to arouse interest in the language and culture of our country .... to preserve the Bulgarian. It is unacceptable for me that my child is illiterate in his mother tongue. When we go to Bulgaria, I want him to communicate with people, to read texts, information and not to worry that he cannot express himself properly. She gets angry with me sometimes when I take away her free time. But now we have a schedule for reading and writing and I try to follow it. And communication with the child is irreplaceable ...
