Okay so my mom's friend and her baby are visiting and they came over this morning to hang out and look at houses. My mom keeps bugging me to hang out with them, and I kept hinting, say politely, coming up with excuse after excuse that I don't want to go. The past two times she came and I went out with them and it was miserable I had no fun at all they kept talking about things I didn't know about and when I tried to say something it was like, whatever and they moved on. My mom keeps pushing me to go out with them but it's to this fancy restaurant and I'd have to get dressed up. 1. My mom keeps forgetting to bring me my good clothes 2. I don't want to go anyways. I'm not about to walk into a fancy restaurant in sweats. So they're like "Well we'll go to Starbucks or something" and I"m like "No it's okay don't change your plans for me" blah blah blah and my mom will not stop bothering me about going with them! She keeps trying to convince me to go it's soooo obnoxious. Should I just go with them? Am I in the wrong? It's like, it's not my friend it's my mom's anyways.

  1. Why is your mom pushing her friend on you?  Seems like your mom is being the bad hostess, instead of you!

    It would be totally different if this was YOUR friend visiting and you were acting like this.  

    Well, you can go if you want.  Personally, I'd pull my mom aside and say Look here, this is your friend, not mine, I don't want to go.

    Maybe your mom thinks you need to get out or something.  But more than anything, it sounds like she's trying to turn you into the hostess of this visit and that's just not right.  

    In your mom's eyes you're probably being rude.  But then, so is she, to her friend.  Who knows what the deal is...Go if you want, don't if you don't want to.  Plain and simple.


  2. Depends on your age...

  3. try to improve yourself

  4. No, you are being rude!  pull ur mom to the side and tell her what's the deal, why you forcing me to go?

  5. You Are not obligated to go any time if you feel uncomfortable. sounds like your mom may want to spend sometime with you..Ask her if so then hang out without the friend  

  6. I don't think you're being rude. You're doing what you need to do. You didn't invite this person to visit, so it's not your responsibility to do anything more than just be polite.  

  7. If you protest and Don't go what will your mom do...If theres going to be an argument then just go. Later, when your talking to your mom one on one then explain that these people are her friends, and you have nothing in common and cant relate with what they talk about.
