Am I being selfish?

Question

I have been very excited for my drive test for weeks now and it is tommorrow anyways my mom was suppoused to go out practicing with me ya know parallel parks and stuff my mother knows this is very important to me and she blows me off to go play bingo for like 12 hours am I a brat for being mad at her

Answer 1

Klo-Mann:
You should not be mad at her. To be unselfish and not mad, you should tell your mum that you would like to go for what you want to do. If she is reasonable she will let you go.

Answer 2

No, not at all. How you deal with being mad can determine whether or not you are being a brat.

You obviously have different priorities from your mother, but tomorrow will be the true test of your anger....

Honestly, you shouldn't have waited til the night before to do some practicing. Tonight you should just be chill and confident and excited about tomorrow.

So, you can't blame your mom, but you do have the right to have hurt feelings for her "flaking" on you. You have every right to talk to her about that, and let her know that you are nervous and scared, and having her support would be great. It's not too late, you can always practice on your way to DMV.

Just remember, she's your mother--like it or not, so don't sweat the little stuff. You'll get your license.

Answer 3

Given your possible age and the importance of the test. Firstly I do not blame you for being upset. Secondly. try to get over your anger, read a book or do something enjoyable. I know how hard it is to gain a peaceful mind. I hope you have a good, calm sleep and do not get too "wound up" before the test,
Good luck, Rose P.

Answer 4

Not at all. Your mother should be ashamed of herself. This is a major milestone in your life, and because it's a big deal, you are going to carry this memory around with you until the day you die. Make sure you never let her live this one down. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. I wish you the best of luck on your test tomorrow!

Answer 5

If your mother was aware that she had promised to spend time with you and then she purposely chose to do something else, she was downright WRONG. Parents are human, and make bad decisions too. Can you be mad, sure. But, if I were you, I'd take another route and be really disappointed. I'd even go as far as to tell her just how disappointed I was in her decision to do something else instead of what she promised me. Chances are she will realize her mistake, and even if she doesn't....she was still wrong.

Answer 6

No, you're not. She blew YOU off. Your plans with her weren't blown off by her. She promised she'd go with you but did bingo instead. You're allowed to be mad, just remember that life is too short so it's silly to be mad for too long. Just wait for your next chance and tell her that you're not mad or anything but you'd appreciate her to set a new date to do it.

Good luck driving!

Answer 7

Finish the work before your mother is asking and your mother will tell some works you and your mother was not selfish this society have wrapping on you people to do studying and working

Answer 8

no, you are not a spoilt brat. It would be great had you been learning consistently so you will not be stress on the driving test day.

Answer 9

No i think you are not selfish for getting mad at her....but you know it's not good to be angry to your mom...understand her...maybe she is bored and needs to relax...maybe she thinks that there are more time ahead to teach you...and mind you being patient will also do good for you as a soon-to-be driver....Goodluck and cheer up...

Answer 10

no you should be able to rely on your parents to keep their promises. She was the one who was selfish you need help and instead she thought bingo was more important.
