Ok I love my mom. And she has always seen a little over protective of me because I am the youngest and my dad died before I was born. Well I used to be scared t ask her to let me sleepover somewhere because she was so ove protective that I knew she'd say no. As I got older she started letting me do things on my own. I even went camping with my best friend for 2 days. But at my high school we have football games and it's a big deal. EVERYONE goes. And I used ot go when my sister was in the band there and when I was little I enjoyed them. Last year everyone went but I never went because they had started to get on my nerves. Well this year I really want to go. I am almost 16 and I am pretty independent. all my friends went to the one tonight and I was here at home because I knew my mom wouldn't let me go. Well I got up the courage to ask her when I would be allowed to go and she said I can go whenever but she has to be there with me. And I asked if I could ever go alone and she wa slike are you crazy I am not letting you go alone. The thing is we live in a small county and my school is small, and I can take care of myself. It's not like I'm leaving the country. But now she keeps going on and on about how she would never drop me off and how she has to be there and I wish I hadn't eve said anything. But my sister told me it wouldn't hurt to ask. So I know I can't convince her that I am old enough to go by myself and I don't really know what I am even asking. But she will never let me go alone. So I guess I am wondering has this ever happened to anyone else? and how can I deal with being stuck at home while everyone is having a good time?
As Irish girl said. There's no best answer for you than your mom's. Tel her how you feel, and tell her to give you a chance to go on your own. Don't mess up and she will gain confidence on letting you go alone!
I know what you mean, but in my case its my dad and I'm the first born. I just turned 25 and he still cannot let go. When I was in high school, I never got to go to most of my friends parties because my dad wanted me to get the phone numbers of all the people who are invited to the party, he wanted to talk to all their parents and that was a big turn off for me. As for my mom well she played the passive role: my dad was not always home and if he was away my mom would say 'no because your dad is out', if he was around she would say 'ask your father'.
At the moment I'm not living with my parents, I'm in another continent. However, recently I applied for a job that required me to get a written statement from my parents (can you imagine). My dad said no, its not safe, there are a lot of psychos in the world etc. But somehow my mom talked to him and he calmed down and said a reluctant yes.
I kind of understand him, he is afraid that he is losing his little girl.
I don't know exactly what you would have to do. I guess maybe talking to your mom might help and maybe even having your sister convince your mother that its not that bad for you to go out.
i found the older I got the less I was aloud do probally because I could get up to more it never stopped me though, you shouldnt assume she will always say no ask her anytime you want to go somewhere never assume , sit her down and say can I talk to you and let me talk and have my say and then you can tell me what you think explain to her how you feel
