It is best to accept your differences and come to an understanding with eachother. I am extremely different from my friends and many of my peers but i still get along with them because i accept that we are different. It can be fun talking with someone who is very different from yourself.. It can be a positive thing.

Sometimes, it's hard to connect with people who you feel are the opposite of you. But find some things that you both have in common, can be very beneficial to getting along with her.

Are there any likes such as hobbies or interests that you have in common? Maybe doing small activities like cooking or movies can help make a bond.

You and your mom have to find a common ground on something, Whether that be a similar interest, a favorite movie, same music taste, Anything that you can find some common ground on will in fact bring the two of you closer and you'll be able to understand each other much more after you have found a common ground.

We are all different. But whem we try to look at the qualities you can admire about your mom, you would be able to appreciate your differences more.

The easiest way to get along with someone is to make the decision, first and foremost, to get along. Sometimes people say things you don't like, do things you don't appreciate, but sometimes all it takes is stepping out of your shoes and considering their perspective, not just your own. Parents are people too, (as easy as that is to forget), and they have very real feelings, thoughts and concerns. Sometimes, you have to give a little, to get a little.

Get to know what she likes. Start opening up more to her about yourself and she will slowly open up about herself on stories she have etc. Do things together like bowling,movies etc.
