My mom is impossible!?

Question

So I just got my gcse results, and i thought I did rather well, (5 A's 3 B's) even though my predicted grades were bad (1 B,4 C's and 3 D's)

So I thought my mom would finally be please with something I did, but she said she was still very dissapointed in the B's.

Now im starting the 6th form and IB, along with a lot of other responsibitilies (Like starting a charity organization and running for school president) to make my collage applications look better. But my mom now wants me to go to school tomorrow and thursday, then miss a whole week, to fly out for my moms sisters wedding. She wants me to leave thursday night, and return the following thursday morning, even though the wedding is on a monday. The reception is on tuesday and i dont understand why i have to be there for that! This is the first week of school and my teachers have to write my predicted grades, and them liking me is important, and me missing the first few lessons of their classes is not going to help! Not to mention, im not the best student, and im going to fall so behind.

Her reasoning, is there are some things more important than school, and i agree, family is more important that school, and if it was any other time of the year, I would go and return happily, but I can not miss the first week, I cant do that to my self!

Answer 1

PLeassee my dad got so mad at me because I got all As and one B+

but whatever.

You should really just talk to her.  

Answer 2

  I'm with you girl! Tell your mother you are not going to be attending your aunts wedding. She is being the selfish  one asking you so soon after school starts to miss a week, then she can nag you for the rest of the year.

    Your mom probably has a digital camera, have her take pics and if she has one, some video footage of the wedding, and she can quite easily explain that school comes first, and that she is proud of you that you are so responsible, heck she will look good at the wedding having such a great daughter that takes school seriously.

  Good Luck and stand firm  on this one , you will be glad you did.

Answer 3

tell her ur feelings

Answer 4

just tell her how u feel, like exactly as u wrote here in the question.

u neva know, she might compinsate a bit...

Answer 5

Talk with her. Be honest and tell her how you feel. That's what I would hope from my kids. She may be disappointed but just explain why you have to be at school. I don't know how far away your Aubt lives but maybe there's some way you can leave over the weekend and return to school Tuesday after the wedding. Explain to your teachers what's going on and get all your makeup work. Unlike my kids make sure you do it and turn it in. Most teachers are very understanding. Either way mayber there is a happy medium there. If not your mom should understand the importance of what you are doing and back you up either way.   Good Luck

Answer 6

have you spoken to your aunt to see if she would be really offended if you didn`t go to her wedding when you explain the situation to her.she might understand and be able to have a word with your mother on your behalf.maybe you can celebrate with her after her honeymoon.what does your father have to say about missing school?are you even allowed to miss school?i live in germany and you can`t just take time out of school when you want.

why does your mother want you at the wedding at the expense of your future does she think there might be a problem between herself and an other wedding guest and need you by her side for moral support?i think there`s more to this than your saying or maybe your mother hiding the real reason form you.you say your making your collage presentations are you planing to apply to a collage away from home or one in the near.if your applying away from home maybe your mum is subconsciously trying to sabotage your attempts as she`s afraid to loose you.you must consider all the likely reasons and discuss things with your mother and your aunt.

Answer 7
