Does any one else have a mom who constantly sends them on guilt trips? My mom wans to be everywhere in my life. She thinks I should appreciate this, even though I tell her I need space. I'm still a teen, so I can't exactly just get up and move to Antarctica. But I'm sick of her making me feel guilty!!! When I told her that I was going out to a friends house she actually said she felt 'faint' and sat down and started breathing heavily. I was so worried until I found out that she just waned to take me shopping today-just the 2 of us. HELLO! we just did that 3 dayz ago!!!! How do you tell your mom to give you space?!!! I'm so fed up.

Let her know how you feel. I am not sure how old you are, but let her know that you are growing up, you have friends of your own, and you want some time to be with your friends and not her. Try and make a day or two of the week set aside for bonding time, just you and her. Let her know how you feel, and use examples. Some people don't even realize that they are doing these things, I know, because my father is very similar. Let her know you still love her, but that you need some space. Good luck!

my mom does it too except differently. she has a sicness and constatntly will remind us in different ways.
dont feel guilty i dont .
i make her feel guilty with all the stuff she cant do for us back and it works like a charm.
if you want space you could ask or lie or tell her shes uncool and boring like i do!

Appeal to her heart! It is not what you say but how you say it.We all have reasons for why we do certain things.You know her best, think why it is she is like this? You know the answer.
