Mom knows very well that this is the most valuable thing that you covet at present and so uses this as a carrot try and get you to behave as you should. Knowing full well that you stand the possibility of losing this cell phone should be reason enough to try and behave as is expected. I doubt very much that you are going to convince her to consequence you some other way so I suppose you'll either have to live with it or else be on better behaviour. And although you may think today that she is being so unfair, later on when you are a bit older you'll understand and appreciate how she uses this as a way to alter your behaviour and may very well repeat this type of parenting yourself when you become a mother.

First you should talk with your mother and not at her about any and all things and she's guiding you right by opening your eyes by removing your cell phone to get you to hear her and you should use that time for you and your mother start a scrapbook jsut on the memories of when YOU got your cell phone taken and you and your mother are in a life together until death do you part...just love your moma I know were a hand full:) Ps. when she takes your phone she just wants some of your time.

Unfortunately until you become an adult and pay your own way in life, you'll have to deal with things like this. She's taking it away to prove a point. You tend to learn more from "bad" than from "good". As incentive, you get the phone back when you are good. Punishment, the phone is taken away. Until you pay your own way, it's her rules. Try being good and listening to what she wants you to do. She has your best interests at heart.

You could start on listening to her if you don't want anything being taken away from you. You probably don't see it now but your mom is just doing what she thinks is best to educate you and make you follow rules. If parents don't start at home and try to make our kids to follow the rules how could we (parents) could expect our kids to respect the rules (laws, etc) of the outside. She is just trying to show you that everything you do has its consequences and if you don't want your phone being taken away from you...then you should listen to what she says...simple!

make it look like you like something more, when you use your cell make sure she don't see it. if your mom pays or sees your bill try to keep it low. start using something else like 24/7 like idk ummm an mp3 player or something that you don't really care about, it could be broken actually lol just put the head phones in you ears and she thinks your listening. damn i am smart lol. this way she will take away the mp3 player instead your phone, but it might not work rite away so just stop telling her to take something else away just make it look like you don't give a ****. hope that helps

well, obviously you show your mom to much that you depend on that phone. Act like you don't care next time she takes it away and she'll think that she can't punish you with that anymore so she'll start taking something else that you care about, but not the phone.

Of course she does. You told her to take something else away which means that you are not happy with her decision to take your phone away. And. she will continue to do this, because she knows that you hate it and hopefully you will stop doing wrong!!!!

Why not try not to do anything wrong so she doesn't have to take anything away? Like it or not, she is the boss right now.

Stop doing wrong things that piss her off. Honor her in whatever she asks you to do, whether you like it or not (once it is not against the laws of the land)...then maybe you won't have the phone taken away.
In times like this, you must ask yourself, "What part do I play in all this drama?"

neeki, try giving more importance to something else other than ur mobile infront of ur mom, she is taking away ur mob coz she does know that u love ur mob, this tactic of ur liking towards something else should work
