My mom got really mad at me for not wanting to go to the movies with my whole family.What should i do?

Question

She said that i'm being anti-social which i have been in the past and that it's sad that i don't want to do something with the whole family and she doesn't wanna even talk to me right now. I love her but she gets me so mad sometimes!

Answer 1

well, first you have to ask yourself. why didnt you want to do something with your family? did you have other plans? is there someone that will be there that you dont get along with? if there is a good reason , then tell her. if you cant think of a reason then you need to sit down and figure out why.

i know teen years are tough. and maybe your friends might not think its cool to hang with your family. but you know, friends come and go and in the end its your family thats going to stick by you. if you have differences with some one try to resolve it.

otherwise . just tell mom your growing up and want to spend sometime by yourself.

but , shes probably more hurt that you dont want to be a part of the family than she is mad at you.

Answer 2

Just go. It will make her happy, which in turn will make YOU happy

Answer 3

Are you a teen? Those are the years when you need space to yourself and grow in independence from your family. Maybe tomorrow you can talk with her about that. Tell her you realize it is a problem for her and you are sorry but sitting together looking at a film is not your way of communication and family time. Then say could we have a nice dinner I will help you fix it and we can chit chat? Give her a big hug. If that doesnt work, find some print outs of normal teen behavior since this is normal so she gets it. Try to act calm and mature. You might say to her that she has always been a good mother and you dont mean to alienate yourself but rather be your own person as she should wish you to be on your own

Answer 4

Answer 5

i totally know how you feel. theres nothing you can do really, or i would have been doing it for years.

Answer 6

I totally know how you feel. My mom is always trying to drag me along for some "family time" but sometimes you just need some alone time. Tell her that, but in a nice way. Say something like, "Mom, I know you just want me to have fun but right now I kind of feel like having some space. So, can we do this some other time when I'm in a more cooperative mood?" If she's a reasonable person, she won't yell or still force you to go.
