I'm have a long distance relationship with my boyfriend and my mom has annoyingly expressed her discomfort everytime I'm on the phone. I'm usually on the phone with him twice a day, about an hour - 2 hours each. We had a talk and she accepted my excessive phone use but now she's blaming all my problems on the phone. Example: I didn't clean my room for a week and she think it's all my boyfriend's fault. She said she does not want me to talk to him or for him to call again.
This is unfair because I'm 17, college-bound, a 4.0 student and have been obedient. She claims she's worried about me but nothing is there to worry about, he's not even in the same state as me! She thinks I use the phone way too much but if I was online all the time, she wouldn't say a thing. I would IM him but he has no computer at home.
How do I get her to understand that not everything has to be her traditional belief of what a boyfriend is? She makes it sound like talking on the phone is as bad as smoking weed.
