I'd like to develop a better relationship with (boyfriend, women, call)

[ValueAddedWorker]

The females in my life.
my mom
my sister
my upstairs neighbor
my supervisor
my landlord.

Any tips?

[akck]

For mom, call her more often. Let her know what's going on and that you're alive.

Listen. Really listen. And listen some more. Then, ask more questions than give advice.

Your mother and sister - considered asking them what their problem is with you?

Leave your upstairs neighbor alone. She has made it clear she's not interested in any relationship with you so leave well alone.

Your supervisor - get to work on time and just do your job.

Your landlord - stop complaining about every little thing, some of which you can easily fix yourself with a screwdriver and a hammer.

Are there any females in your life that you do have a good relationship with?

[Sunnydee]

Most women like to be noticed, complimented, and listened to. A phone call just to check in and see how they're doing is a good start. (BTW, sometimes we just need to vent, so don't feel like you need to find a solution to the problems we tell you about.)

Yes. Other colleagues, neighbors and my upstairs' neighbor's cat. All females that tolerate me.

Well if you can have a good relationship with the neighbor's cat, then you should have no problems having relationships with other females.

Seriously, I would want to know what you think the problem is with each of these relationships before I answered your OP.

OK fair enough.
my mom: She treats me like a child. She wants to come over and clean my place and whenever I say I'm busy, she tells me because it's a mess and I don't want her to come over. She used to pop in and ring the doorbell whenever she wanted on my 2 days off. Very bossy woman. But I want to form a normal relationship.
my sister: Haven't had a relationship with her since childhood.
my upstairs neighbor: I've tried to be nice to her cat, her boyfriend and her son. At least she can show me some respect and decency.
my supervisor: The relationship is rocky. She wants to replace me. I think if we speak more casually, it will improve my standing.
my landlord: Before I signed the lease, she invited me to her home and introduced me to her cat. Since then I've asked for a number of repairs which have either been done or delayed/put off. I forget the cat's name. Maybe I should include a pouch of yummies with the next rent check.
