HELP! Ok, my best friend Teresa (we're like sisters) and I want to go to the mall together. This weekend my mom offered to take us but her mom said she wouldn't be comfortable with it unless she went. So that never happened and my mom got pissed. Now Teresa's mom wants to take us to the mall next weekend but my mom doesn't think this is fair for her to take us and she's not allowed to do it unless her mom's there. Now my mom says the only way I can go is if her mom realizes that my mom can take us without her being there. Here's the final thing. Her mom will be fine with my mom doing it as long as she talks to her on the phone for a little bit. My mom says she shouldn't have to. Neither will budge and now me and Teresa are stuck in the middle and I'm afraid I'll never get to see my bestfriend again. Now I don't really care who you side with i just need help. What do I do?????

Both mothers are stubborn. What i suggest is that you tell your mother to put these differences aside and let you and your best friend hang out. Don't worry, you'll see your best friend any time; it's not the end of the world! When you turn 16, you'll have your own car! =)

I think what her Mom wants to do is get to know your Mom a little bit since her daughter will be in your moms care. That is normal for a mom to do. I can see her point as Im that way with my daughter and her friends, but Im friends with thier moms also, not close friends but we speak on the phone and in person. So maybe if your mom would just talk to her on the Phone it would be ok....Good Luck

MOMS...will you ever get them raised! If Mohammad want go to the mountain, then bring the mountain to Mohammad. Tell your friends Mom to pick you up at your house at what ever time, and when she drives up, go to the car, and tell her your Mother would like to speak with her before you head off to the mall. This way you get them to talk, and reassurance is made and then you and your friend can go back to worrying about better stuff. If you are afraid that this ploy will only complicate matters, as an adult I promise you, they will both be on their best behavior when confronted in this pre-arranged meeting.

Well lets see, I think that you growing up might be a good start however from what you are writing it seems that it may take awhile for that to happen. The only thing that I can tell you for sure is that this big problem that you are having now you will not even remember in a year.

Mmm, tough, why is Teresas' mom so demanding? i would side with your mom i would probably be pissed too. Tell Teresa's mom your mom is feeling undermined as a parent im sure her mom will understand and hopefully realize she did in fact undermine your mom even though it was not intentional.

Why set up the next trip to the mall with all four of you going ..... that way your mothers can meet and get to know and trust each other.
Everyone wins that way. Good Luck

you should try having your friend talk to her mom and do the same for your mom.
