Everyone makes mistakes big or small, perhaps you're seeing your mistakes in a different light, or something to do with how you express it, try not to dwell on it and you can only do your part by learning from your mistakes and turn you into a better person. we cannot change the past but we can try to change the future...

...by undestanding we all make mistakes...by learning from that mistake...realizing WHY we made the mistake...and knowing to not make another mistake like that again in the future. The learning from it...is the most important part, but...living with it, and under it...will only cause more mistakes.

You don't happen to mention your age. Are you an adult, or still under 18? Part of a parent's responsibility to their UNDER AGE children is to try and help them be ready to face being a productive and happy adult. Your Mom may be trying to use some humor by reminding you what to do and not do. But, maybe her method isn't really working for you. Everyone does make mistakes, including adults. In fact adults often make some of the most colossal mistakes of all! Maybe you can pick a quiet time and have a talk with your mom. Tell her how you feel, tell her you don't want to make mistakes and that you are trying to be aware and think before you act. Tell her also that sometimes you feel hurt when she makes fun of your mistakes. It sounds like she loves you very much and isn't so much angry with you for making mistakes, hence the attempted humor, (she's pointing out your mistake, but in a light-hearted manner). Try, talking with her. She's good old Mom, but she is not a mind reader. If you are an adult, I'd guess she hasn't quite made the transition to accepting that you are not still her "little girl" who requires her guidance still! If this is the case, I'd try to relax. You can't change her, you are an adult and as said, we all make mistakes. If we pay attention and run things though our heads before we say or do them, often we can catch the mistake before we make it! If you are an adult and especially if you are "out on your own, paying your own way," then ultimately YOU are in charge of YOU! When we get to this point in life and we have taken responsibility for ourselves, then by golly...mistakes or no mistakes...WE ARE DOING IT...we are creating our life! That's some type of success! Take her wisdom and cast away the barbs! Have a talk still, you have nothing to loose either way.

Teach your head a lesson with a blunt object. That's what I do.

change they way you percieve "mistakes" and change what you focus on...for example, if i learn something from the experience, it was not a mistake...this changes my focus to what i have learned...i can then apply that information to moving forward.
