If your meddling mom is driving you crazy with her nose constantly in your business, take these steps to get her off your back once and for all.
如果你的媽媽總是干涉你的事,幾乎要把你逼瘋了。嘗試下面的步驟,讓她知難而退,
Step 1: Stay in control
Resist the urge to lash out at her every time she gives unwanted advice. It’ll just reinforce the same old power-struggle pattern.
第一步:保持克制
每次當(dāng)她提出一些不需要的意見時(shí),要抵制住想恨批她的沖動(dòng)。那樣只會(huì)增強(qiáng)那種舊式的權(quán)力斗爭的模式。
Step 2: Acknowledge her advice
Acknowledge her advice by saying “thanks” or “good to know.” Follow up by calmly telling her that all her unsolicited advice makes you feel like nothing you do is good enough — ask for some credit.
第二步:肯定她的意見
可以通過說“謝謝”或“聽到后很受益”來肯定她的意見。然后要平靜地告訴她所有她主動(dòng)提供的意見使你感到做得都不夠好——來尋求些信任。
Step 3: Make a joke
Make a joke next time she butts in. If she wants you to do something you’d rather not, give her a witty line that makes light of the situation.
第三步:開玩笑
下次她插嘴的時(shí)候要開個(gè)玩笑。如果她想讓你做你不喜歡的事,要詼諧地將情況說明。
Step 4: Use an example
Use a specific example where a friend or family member criticized her to illustrate that no one likes unwanted advice.
第四步:利用實(shí)例
舉一個(gè)具體的例子:比如朋友或家庭成員譴責(zé)她的事來證明沒人喜歡聽多余的意見。
Step 5: Repeat a catchphrase
Come up with a catchphrase and repeat it exactly every time she butts in. She’ll then expect the phrase and possibly avoid saying anything at all.
第五步:重復(fù)警句
想一個(gè)警句,每次你媽媽插話的時(shí)候就重復(fù)下。她一插話,就會(huì)料到會(huì)聽見那句話,很可能她以后就不會(huì)說什么。
Tip:Become a master of changing the subject.
小貼士:成為一個(gè)改變?cè)掝}的大師。
Step 6: Ask her advice
Ask her advice every now and then. If she feels needed and appreciated, maybe she’ll lighten up.
第六步:征詢她的意見
不時(shí)征詢她的意見。如果她感到自己很有用且被別人賞識(shí),也許她不會(huì)生氣。
