Me and my mom are having our "differences" and not seeing eye to eye now and it's really affecting my relationship with my girlfriend. We talk about what we wanna do over the weekend and both our parents say ok, but when the time comes around for it to be done, my mom "coincidentally" has some other event, sale, or shopping she has to do. Then after she's done, she'll ask me if i still want to go when whatever we were going to do would be about over or too late to do (like the movies, the mall, even hanging out at her house). I know my gf's pretty mad over this but I don't know what to say or do to my mom. I try to do what she says and get decent grades(A's, B's, very few C's) so that i can go on the weekends and not have anything else to do but it never works out. What else is there to try? It's not like i can sit down and talk to her one on one because she's not that type of person you can do that with and not end up raising our voices, so i'm stuck.

Maybe your Mom knows more than you think... Maybe she is protecting you.. When your old enough to live on your own then you can do whatever you want whenever you want..

Maybe you should always have a plan B. Continue to plan things on the weekend and when your mom delays your plans, you will always have a back up plan. Even if it means just taking a walk or going for an ice cream. I mean, what else can you honestly do? You don't want to go to your mom complaining and ruin your privileges. It's unfortunate but right now you have to play the hand that you are dealt until you're older and can do what you like.

Tuff one brad the only thing i can think of is if your old enough try to get some partime weekend work even if it is unpaid work experience tell your mum the job is longer than it really is leaving you time for your girlfriend .Good luck we dont know how old you are so it makes this very hard for anyone to answer.

It sounds like your mom is afraid of letting you go and what I mean by that is that now you have a girlfriend she feels as if you have abandoned her and now she needs you to spend all your time with her instead of your girlfriend.. its hard to talk to her i know I had the same prob with my bf mom but you have to learn to put your foot down but don't be mean maybe you can set a day for you and your mom, then you and your girl..I wish you the best of luck.

Get your girlfriends Mom to pick you up and have your Mom come get you when she is done with her busy schedule to bring you home.

she probably doesn't like your girlfriend or has problems with letting another woman be in your life.
