My Mom is embarrassed I get good grades..?
Ok, so I'm about to set my SG exams at school, and we done pre-exams last year and I got all A's and two B's. But my Mom didn't show much of an interest and got embarrassed about it around family members and said it was all just "general knowledge anyway." My Gran mother took me on a holiday because she was proud and told me to ignore my mum. It's really upset me, my Mom is more interested in hair and make-up than my education, why won't she just be a normal Mom...

Your mom is being very unfair. I think she failed in school and she doesn't want you to get ahead of her.
She's probably afraid of you leaving her for some high-end job in a big city.
Talk to her.
Have you thought that perhaps she is JEALOUS of the fact that you are intelligent and do well with your education.
Ask grandma how your mother was in school. You might find that your mother didn't do well in school or didn't do well or got average grades for exams. Perhaps she wasn't able to get into college or university because her grades were just average or below.
From what I read from you, your mother is jealous of your grades and hard work and is more concerned on how pretty she is. You go out there and make yourself proud of your achievements, at least your Gran is super proud of you.
Sounds like your mom is old-fashioned. Keep pursuing your education. You should ignore your mom. Be proud of yourself. Keep getting good grades. If it really continues to bother you, tell your mom that she may be into lipstick and hair but you're smarter than that. She has no right to hold you back!
I'm so sorry for your circumstance, it really sucks to have a superficial mother. I know you want your parents' approval but clearly your mom's priorities are not the same as yours and that's a good thing. Be your own person, get good grades, and your mom will end up feeling silly for how wrong she was.
Wow , i've never heard of that ! A parent being EMBARRASSED about their child getting good grades ? that's crazy . Don't let her effect you though because your good grades will make you have a good future and a good job , good grades will get you somewhere in life , hair and makeup won't
She could just be jealous because you're doing better than she did at school.
shes stupid my parents yell if i dont get good grades
just do your best and be proud of it even if she isnt
Have a good talk with your mother.
She's very stupid to be embarrassed if you get good grades, just ignore her.
