What would be a good reason for my mom to take away my shot glasses?

i do drink but not as much as i used to, and she didnt care that i drank before, she seems to have more of a problem with me just simply collecting shot glasses, then me drinking, and it doesnt make sence

Maybe someone might of said something other, like a friend judging her parenting for letting a 15 year old collect shot glasses?

Well your 15, not a very good age for someone to drink, she probobly wants you to stop this, really she’s traying to help you. If she did not care that you drank before meaby she realized the mistake she did by letting you do this, and is traying to fix it?

Well I know I do not drink that much at all, but I have a shot glass for each state and country I have been to. I like to collect them and they are small enough to display with no trouble.

i was kindof thinking mabey my friends told their parents about my collection and their parents talked to my mom about it, but i cant think of any one of my friends doing that, and not to mention my mom doesnt like when other people tell her how to raise her kid, she absolutly HATES it, so i cant see why she would listen even if someone did say that

Perhaps she realized that encouraging you to drink at 15 was not a good idea, and now she regrets it. Now, she wants to take it all away…by taking your collection of shot glasses away. She’s not trying to be mean, she is just trying to fix something she feels like she did wrong.

My mom used to let me drink, and buy it for me. Now, she won’t do it. Now, she believes it is wrong, and she should have never started doing that. It’s never to late to stop doing something wrong, or try to fix what you did.

Now, there are a couple of things you can do. I know you paid money for some of those shot glasses, and I know you spent time collecting them. Getting them taken away doesn’t seem fair at all, and you feel out of money and time. You can talk to your mom, and explain to her that you feel out of money and time because you paid for a lot of those, and spent quite a bit of time collecting them. Tell her you understand why she is taking them away, and you have no problem with it. You would just like it if the two of you could come to some sort of agreement, or compromise…to compensate you for the money and time.

You could ask her if she can hold on to them, and give them to you when you are old enough to have them. Or, you could ask her if you can sell them, to make some of the money back that you spent on them.

thanx, i like the idea about getting them back when im older, i think ill ask for them when im 16 or 18, i turn 16 soon and if that doesnt work, i can wait long enough to be 18, ill be an adult then so she will technaclly have to give them back

Because she wants best for you and drinking won’t get you anywhere

No problem, hope I helped. :]

u did help… a LOT

I don’t think that just becuase yo own shot glasses that you are going to drink. but I like your attude that you can wait untill you are 18 to ask for them back. You might want to talk to her about it after a while and sak her to save them for you.

steph i see you are fron Astraila, IN the US it is not lawful for a person to buy or drind alcohol untill 21 in most states, if not all. I know that this seem strange to most of the rest of the world but that is the way it is. 100 years ago we had a lot of problems with alcohol problems then we made it ileagle for any one to have it. what came out of it was a lot of crime, and more reasonable laws controlling the age that people could drink. at one time some states made the age 18 but kids in school were abusing the privlage so it was chaned.
