Mom hating prom!!

I feel your pain, however, I understand your mother trying to protect you also, as I feel this is probably the biggest motivator, rather than, I didn’t so you can’t. That dosent make much sense, but, fear of who you may come in contact with, does. As this world is a place that brings good girls down quick…

Before you know what hit you, you can be on the wrong track, with the wrong crowd, doing the wrong things.

It will be far better for you, to come up protected… than, it would be if you were having lots of fun. And I know that is not what you want to hear, right now, but, it is true.

You have the rest of your adult life to do as you choose, and I think your mother is concerned right now, about keeping you on the right track.

There are many young girls out there, that wish they had a mother that cared enough to say no. Even if it is not what you want at the moment. Trust her, confide in her, believe in her, and listen to her. She cares more for you, than you can imagine, and wants only the best for you. Help her to see exactly how you feel, without getting emotional, and maybe she can find a way to relax the rules.. just a bit.

Blessings…

As hard as this is to believe, I understand where your mom is coming from…I was not allowed to have a myspace for the longest time until I turned eighteen and I finally said “Mom you cant stop me…” Now I DO NOT recommend doing that cause well youre still a minor and she can stop you lol but there are a lot of creeps on myspace and there are a lot of things that im sure your mom is scared of…my friends have found it helpful to make one and then show your mother…let her see what youre doing on it periodically and whats on your page…that way she feels included without having her constantly over your shoulder…as far as going to the mall goes my mothers policy was always “Unless you have a specific thing to be shopping for you dont need to go to the mall” a lot of teens get in a lot of trouble when they are just let lose around the mall im sure your mom is just trying to protect you…Do you think shed let you go if you got a bunch of friends together and allowed to her to go along? that might be a way for her to see what you guys do and for her to trust you…its been a really long time since your mom has been your age and a lot of thigns have changed from when she was young its a scarier place then it used to be but you need to do things to show her that you can handle it and that you are responsible and that you know right from wrong…As far as your “prom” goes are you sure that your mom is just punishing you because she never got to go? If thats the case then thats the opposite of how most adults react…most of them get so involved cause they want to live it through their children…once again try planning everything out and then coming to her with as many details worked out as you can…How are you getting there? Whos taking you home? Who are you going with? What do you need to buy? How are you going to pay for it? Its hard for paretns to say no when they see how youve worked hard to get her to say yes… Losing a parent can be very hard or just a loved one in general…when my brother died it was like my parents wouldnt let any of us do anything cause they didnt want another one of “those calls” but time heals all wounds so just try to understand… Sorry this was so long but I hope it helped Feel free to message me Caitlyn

well, just sit her down and say mom look I’m growning up and I need a little freedom.Ilove you but but I fed up all I want a little time to grow up and how can I dont that if you keep babing me.

You know your Mom better than I do but try speaking her language (adult). She should trust you unless you’ve givin her a reason not to!! If she is big on the Bible find scriptures that support you being trusted!! You have to learn to male decisions on your own and that takes her giving you some freedoms! Act like a lawyer and present the facts. Be ready with solutions to all her concerns!!!

thats really sad..but I guess she really is trying to protect you but maybe a little over protective?! you need to tell her that its a once in a lifetime experience & that since she didnt get to experience it, that you’d like to and maybe talk to her about it after you go…I don’t know. that might help. you just really need to sit down with her and talk about whats going on with her.

just politely ask your mom and explain your situtation and tell her everything you told me on here!
