I wish I lived near you. I would take you out to lunch and buy you a new outfit. I would tell you jokes and make you laugh. I would tell you hoe beautiful you are and tell you in sincerity .....Be Happy always!

Parental privilege is tough love, Dear, but not for "life".\nIt will be all to soon when you reach that "golden age" when you can make that kind of choice for your self. In the mean time, listen to Mom, don't go behind her back and she will get her trust back in you and "for life" may well be "short lived.

it's good that your mother knows you well enough to know a change has occurred, most likely thru your own behaviour or reactions.  "Why is that good?" you may ask.  It's good because there are some mothers out there who don't give a damn one way or another about their children.  You may resent it now, but it does mean your mother cares enough to keep an eye on you.

It's not fair that your mother seems intent on spending more time with your sisters children than with yours. However, it sounds as though your sisters children are not as fortunate as yours with respect to having a loving and good mother. So, take this into account when you're judging your mothers actions and take pride and strength from the knowledge that you're the better mother, something many women wish they could be. You're young, beautiful and ovbviously have a very compassionate heart though I suspect you're unhappy with life for many reasons. I also suspect your devoted entirely to your childrens happiness and well being while ignoring your own. Don't do that completely. You need your life too and you need friends who support that for you so reach out. Make friends, new ones if you have too, people who will share and listen to you. We're out here for you.

Be honest.\nYour mother wants the best for you; if you need help,\nshe'll be happy you came to her.\nFind a quiet moment when you can approach her without being interrupted.\nGood luck.

I defiantly don't think being normal is important and what is normal anyway?Being one of many that's the same..i prefer to be an individual, i prefer to think on my own an to make my own decisions. I have always tried to not give in to peer pressure and i think i did a pretty good job i was never a follower i tried to be a leader in my life and think i succeeded OK. Now as a mother i can look my children in the eye and say..its ok to say no i did and it never really hurt me in a social way.and to a teen or child that's important.Being accepted is on of the things as humans we long for.

well this is really vague... im 22 and my parents are in a divorce and my mom may have nowhere to turn. I want to be a good son and she doesnt want to burden my life.. but after all she took care of me for 18years.. I be damned to let dad manipulate her anymore...\n\nI live in MY house and I have a good job. why should i care what people think about my mom living with me untill she can spring back from her divorce.\n\nI would say it really depends on the situation. Some people just dont have their act together and some do. Find out the real reason and who is living with who.\n\nOn a side note I feel that each situation is different, but once you reach early to mid 20's you need to be more self reliant.\n\nugh nothings more annoying than some guy who lives in his Moms house and jerks around all day at 25+ get a job a life and start being responsible.

Yea it kind of went like that in my house too and I was the baby, I just ignored it and went about my business at least I didn't have the pressure of impressing or being someone or something I didn't want to be.  Honestly I think it's made me a better person than him why because I know the meaning of independence and how it works unlike him who needs mommy for everything.

Sorry... but what he wants doesn't matter... what really matters is what YOU want...\n\nDid you follow the point?

The best way is with honesty,integrity and respect.I don't know how you feel about her, respect wise, but you owe it to your son. She still is the mother of your child. You will be forever connected it that respect. \nThis what I would want/expect ( I have a 15 month old son too). \n1.I would want to know if my son and I had a place to stay\n2. Can I support myself and the baby without you, and if I can't would you help me?\n3. Will you continue to be in our sons life after the move?\n\nI know that it's much more complex, but that is the basics. Whatever you decide, please remember that you have a precious baby.\n\nIs it possible to work it out?\n\nDoes she know how you feel? Don't lead her in the dark. If she has to take care of that precious baby, she will need peace of mind so that she can concentrate all her energy on him. She needs the patience too. It's harder to be patient when you have so much to think about. Remember that whatever you do to her, you ultimately affect your son too.\n\nGive her the heads up so she can prepare her life  without you.\nTreat her with respect, even when you don't feel like it. She will probably be taking care of your son most of the time. The more civil you are to each other, the better for everyone.\n\nIf you cannot get along with her, just try to be civil.\n\nI hope that whatever choices/decisions you make, you have you son's best interest in the forefront.  He is afterall, the innocent one.\n\nBest Wishes.....

I don't think "need" means what you think it means.

I apologize but I must say that you have no need to worry about such things. But I suppose that if you did have a need then I could say that you already do. Good luck with that one.

It's not a bad thing as long as you are mature and can stand independent of her. I think mama's boy and being respectful of your mother is in many cases the same thing. There is nothing wrong with that.

I read your previous question regarding your partying/drinking.  Is this what you are referring to?  It seems that you don't really want any advise but just approval and thumbs up for the things that you are doing.  You got angry because people sided with your mother rather than you.  You'd do well to listen to your mom.  She has your best interest at heart.   Sorry. I know it's not what you want to hear, but you asked.

Your mom isn't going to change now. She is not going to change unless she wants to. I think you realize this. You need to step back and deal with your own life. She isn't good for you, just because a mother gave birth doesn't mean you have to have a friend in her.

Your mum grew up in a different era.  What is right for you is not necessarily what was right for her.  Understand that she can't understand why you'd want to do that.  Agree to differ.
