My mom's Christian and I'm Catholic (because of my dad) my friend invited me to this cool vintage store that opens once every 3rd Sunday of the month but the thing is I would have to go to church with my friend because her church is right across the street and they're both pretty far away from where I live so I'd have to leave with them and go to church with them. The problem is I refuse to go to my Moms church because I've met the people who go there and I didn't really get along with them (because they kept saying Catholicism was wrong and I should be Christian) . I asked my mom if I could go and she exploded on me saying that I care more about my friends and I rather go to church with my friend than with her. Well I told her I just wanted to go to the vintage store and she started yelling and walked away from me.She's really immature and hangs up the phone, walks away, and plugs her ears when every someone says something she doesn't want to deal with. How can I get her to let me go?

Well I'm 16 years old so I have to do what she says.
And no this is not a religious question.

i sort of understand where your coming from because I'm Lutheran and my mom and everyone on her side of the family (as far as i know) is catholic.my sister is an atheist, I'm Lutheran because my father was raised Lutheran. so i say bargain with her. "let me go with my friend this Sunday and I'll go with you that Sunday" i know you might not like your mothers church so just bear it for one Sunday.

I don't know how you can get her to let you go, but as far as the church goes you need to explain if you can to your mother what the reasons are that you don't like to attend her church. She should understand that Christians should not make people feel bad because of their beliefs. She should be upset because the people that attend her church mad you feel unwelcome. About going to your friends church because you want to go shopping tell her that it isn;t about religion it is about shopping any woman should understand how important shopping is. Good Luck. If she closes her ears and walks away yelling ask her how she would like it if you responded to her in that manner

Religion is the belief and trust in God, not the belief in other peoples theories. Do you really believe God will turn you away from heaven if you don't follow the exact religious beliefs of any one denomination? I think heaven would be a pretty empty place if that was true. I'm sure your mom and the people at her church really believes they are right, and they may be, but it's that kind of narrow minded beliefs that ruin religion for everyone. God gave you the ability to make choices and the choices you make as long as you believe in God will always be correct. Remember Gods son was a Jew, did God turn his back on him?? as far as I am concerned, there in no 100% correct religion as long as you believe and trust God you will be fine.. Don't be steered by narrow minded people, that's not religion that's a cult. Be kind to all and except their right to choice.. You will be fine.

One important missing piece of information is your age. If you are a minor and living with your mom you should abide by your mom's rules. Remember, you do not go to church because of the people that go there. You should be able to go to any church and pray and show your love for God. I lost my mom over 30 years ago and I wish she was here so that I could do things with her now. However, if you are an adult you should be able to go wherever you want without having your mom acting all immature. I would just tell her that you are sorry that she is upset but that that you will go with her another time. Just like you would with a young child...validate her feelings but follow through with your plans.

Thats a really hard situation! first if u go visit at ur friends church stay true to what u believe is truth- their r so many different views. But I dont think its horrible to simply go. With your mom mabey try telling her nicely to trust u a little and that u arent all of a sudden going to be a cathlic and you wont ask every week just this once and next week u promis to go back with her to her church!

explain to your mother that she is being quite unfair- you have respected her rights and beliefs of religion all of these past years, and that you should be able to as well. talk to her about why she got so angry and how she really feels, but get the point across that you want to go to that church because of religion and your religious beliefs, NOT because of choosing friends over family. Good Luck, and go to the church you want to go to. you aren't a little child anymore, and your almost in college- you should have the right even more!!!

she sounds very controlling ..however you do have to follow her rules in her home, but you also need to tell her that catholics are christians too and she is not being open minded . i think it is disrespectrul of her to cover her ears or hang up on you like that...it shows she has not respect of your feelings.....oh by the way...i am catholic too~

First of all, you don't need to go to anybody's church, not even yours. You need to go to the Kingdom Hall. Try to be nice to her, and maybe she'll let you go.

there is no changing her mind. Sorry.
Catholics are Christians, they believe in Christ.
