how can i get my mom to lighten up and let me do what i want?

Question

my mom is very religious and extremely strict

Answer 1

when you are 18 you move out...then you can run your life into the ground...as for now...be happy you have a roof over your head.

Answer 2

I am a very strict parent. Do what you want ~wrong world sweetie.
Mama knows whats best for your life she loves you more than anyone and wants nothing but the best for you no matter what you think and how you feel her methods of parenting are. You should be more responsible and maybe you can do more. Do your chores before being told. Answer you mother when she call you~respect. Do as she says whether you like it or not and show no attitude. I guarantee you she will begin to allow you to do more than usual but you must apply yourself to the house, school and parents and authority 1st you must take action or things may remain the same until you are old enough to put a roof ova ur head and care for yourself without your mothers help. Good Luck!
Honor your mother and father that your days may be longer on earth.

Answer 3

My parents were extremely strict as well. Now that I'm a parent, I see where they were coming from. I know it seems like a cliche and you've heard it before (and probably will again), but they are simply looking for your best interests and doing the best job they can. Kids don't come with owners' manuals, and neither did parents. We are all in this together. You're going over some bumps in the road, don't worry. They'll flatten, the road will straighten, the wind at your back and the sun will be in your face.

Hope this helped!

Answer 4

She has your best interest at heart I'm sure. Be glad you have a mother that cares. Alot of kids don't. I know the strictness may be hard but she thinks she's doing what's best for you. When you are an adult & have kids of your own you will be able to understand her more but for now just pray about it. The Lord still hears & answers prayer. Pray that his will be done & that if she is in the wrong on her extreme strictness pray that the Lord would open her eyes to that. Mothers aren't always totally wrong. We do the best we can out of our EXTREME love for our children. I wish you the very best of luck sweety. God bless.

Answer 5

You must first and foremost respect your mother. If there is something she isn't letting you do, then you should talk to her about her reasons. I am sure if you keep an open mind and put yourself in her shoes, you would realize that she is just trying to do her job, which is making sure you are raised with good morals, respect and security.

Answer 6

Your behavior is the most obvious thing you can display. If you show your maturity and are able to be trusted then your mother might lighten up. You have to give her reason to trust you.

Answer 7

MAYBE TRY showing her that you're responsible in every thing you do and let her know that you can take care of you of course don't be dis respectful while you're letting her know this

Answer 8

Depends on your age and what you want to "do," kiddo. If you want to do things that are mature and prudent (if still fun and age-appropriate) that's one thing. If you want to do stuff that will be destructive to you and you are too young to see it (yet), that's another altogether.

Answer 9

For some time do what she want you to do and then she will trust and let you do what you want to do.

Answer 10

give her reason to trust you enough to nkow that you can make good decisions. find people from church that are just like you and someone that she might like and trust.
