Almost every weekend my mom wants to see movies all the time. I'm 21 now it's getting boring. Once in a while I don't mind every single weekend is too much for me. Even on thanksgiving she wants to see a movie. I want to do something different. I have a boyfriend now we've been going out for 5 months. I wouldn't mind going with her when i was 12 but now that im 21. She sometimes says lets see a movie before i get to say anything. I want to tell her I want to hang out with friends from high school and my boyfriend. In a way i'm afraid to say something to her. I said i don't want to see a movie on thanksgiving. she said something like what do u have against that? i don't have anything against that i said something like we do that all the time. does anyone have ideas of what i can say?

You are right, you need to sit down with your mom, and explain how you feel, and come up with a plan, I love my daughter but I realize that she has a very busy life and does not have a lot of time for me. So I have learn ed to make my own friends and plans, and when we do get to get her once a week we might only have coffee, but we enjoy our time together, Your mom has to get a life of her own, you are not a recreation director, and the more you give the more she will expect, So put a time limit , and may be buy her a DVD player, and she can watch as many movies as she wants

You say to her, what you said to us. That your 21 now, and you have friends you'd like to spend time with.
Ask her if she can respect that.
Does she have friends? If not, check your local community and try and get her involved with others. Or even other movie watchers.

Tell her you have plans, and can't make it.. She will understand, but still if she likes to hang out with you, make time for her.. Tell her you can't always drop what you are doing to go hang out with her. Hopefully she will understand, and she was young once, and should . Good Luck

Where is your dad? Also, she's pretty lonely I bet, so why don't you inspire her to have her own boyfriend (assuming she doesn't have one) and maybe she'll understand your position. Empathy is the solution.
