Here's a breakdown of contributing factors:

As indicated in the reference material, if you're feeling overwhelmed or emotionally strained, you might be more prone to getting easily annoyed with your mom.
  • Past Resentments and Baggage:

    • Unresolved conflicts or negative experiences from the past can create lingering resentment. These feelings can surface easily when interacting with your mom, leading to anger. As indicated in the reference material, past experiences and unresolved issues with your mom can also contribute to feelings of annoyance.
  • Other potential factors:

    • Different communication styles.
    • Conflicting values or beliefs.
