You have chosen a nice outfit today, well done. As for your mum I think she is jealous because you're young and look nice whatever you're wearing. You are having bf and the world's your oyster. When I was 18 my mum was everything to me and I really thought she was my saint I believed in her every time. It took me some time to figure out this simple fact that mum can become jealous of their own daughter. But I still love my mum. Be nice to your mum.

It is a mum's job to point out the obvious and deep down you are probably wearing that skirt because you know you look good in it and want your boyfriends approval. Having an 18 year old daughter is a learning curve for not just the daughter who is finding and wanting freedom, but for the mum as well. Maybe just be honest with her and say yeah I look good don't I. Reassure your mum that just because you are wearing a shorter skirt it doesn't mean you have a date to have sex with the football team. It's hard for a mum to let go so try and understand where your mum is coming from as well. She has had control of your life up until now and at 18 she has to start to let go. If you are up front with her she will find that job easier.

Technically speaking you can wear exactly what you want and no one can stop you. However, have you ever stopped to ask yourself why your Mum is saying this to you? Is it just because she wants to be as spoilsport or because she has no fashion sense - or is it because as people here have already pointed out she actually has acquired a little wisdom through her own experiences of life and would just like to pass these on to you so you don't make a mess of your life?
While you can wear what you want - also remember whose house you are living in, who pays the bills and who probably does the majority of the domestic chores there. Perhaps you need to consider when you live in someone else's house, you live respecting their house rules. When you find your own way in life and live independently then you can do what you want. Hopefully by then you might have wised up a little to the realities of this world.

Parents who think their children walk on water are extremely annoying. I have friends who will attend adult only parties and bring their children. We are supposed to understand that their children are special and better behaved than other children so no one should have a problem with them being there. These are the same parents who allow their children to interrupt a conversation because what they have to say is so much more significant. I'm pretty fed up with parents who let their children call all the shots. My stepson was like that. Before he moved in with us he determined his bedtime, what the family was eating for dinner and where they went on the weekend. I understand that children need a voice but they don't have the maturity to run the show.

You're Mum is just looking out for you because in her eyes you will always be her little girl, as opposed to the young lady that you are becoming. Try talking to her and find an understanding from your two perspectives and remember that even though our parents drive us nuts a lot of the time, they do love us, even though they don't always no best. Also don't let it ruin a lovely day with your boyfriend, life is to short for that.

mum's do that. could that she thinks its too cold/wet for you to go out in skirt?
how about calmly asking her what she doesn't like about it after you've made her a cup of tea? Then you would know what her concerns are.
You could try asking her for her suggestions as what she thinks you could wear. Just to see what her opinions are.
Mum's will be mum's and will always want to see their precious daughter safe & not to be taken advantage of - it doesn't matter what your age - they always care. It's their way of wrapping cotton wool around you.
It's nice that she cares - but I do understand it's fustrating for you too. Try to see it from her eyes - would you be the same if it were you? Maybe you can then find something she wouldn't get upset over and you will find something you like to wear. :0)

Yeah you are 18 you should not be told what to wear by your mum. Tell her this, remember that your an adult and not a kid. Your mum is probably just trying to protect you. But there is a limit to all the protection that you need.=)

Mum's are not stupid, mainly because we've done it all before. Admit it, you're wearing a skirt because you want him to find you sexy and attractive. Be hones with your mum, tell her you want him to see you like that and not as a jean wearing tom boy. She'll understand

Just a mum thing. She knows you are sending out a sexy message, remembers she did the same and perhaps knows the consequences???

You're 18. You can dress as you like. The issue IS how you dress, right?
