it was snowing and my mom said she doesnt think we will make a 1:00 movie. but when she said we're going i said i really dont feel like going and she looked surprised and said why. at first i thought she was mad or something. to me not wanting to go to a movie is not a big deal. i said earlier on yahoo movies is not something i always want to do. there are some days when u dont feel like doing stuff u know. plus i have a midterm next week. i have 2 in the same day. do u think she was making a big deal about me not wanted to go? then she finally said stay home if u want. she didnt seem to happy about it. originally she said she didnt think we would make the movie. now i really feel bad about it.

that is the funniest most creative question i have seen today, props to you.
(unless you are being serious in which case it would just be tragic)

She was probably looking forward to hanging out with you, especially if you said you wanted to and then backed out. Spring Breaks and snow days are a great time for kids to reconnect with their parents and can be looked at as a real gift. It is kind of stolen time...as in, an unexpected opportunity where you don't have the ordinary time fillers and could really have some good hang time without neglecting something else. So not taking advantage of it is a little sadder than missing other moments together when time just gets away from you.
I don't know how old you are, but if you are getting into your teenage years, she likely feels like you are just slipping away. You need to branch out, do your own thing, you are practicing (emotionally) in a very real way being on your own. And it is so sad for parents...even though it is a natural process. Try to understand this about your parents, and be nice to them even if you gotta do your own thing most of the time.
Maybe today all this has nothing to do with it, as in "just a movie" but for her, I bet she sees similar things where you aren't as close as you used to be.
My suggestion is that when she gets home, apologize and let her know you didn't realize it was such a big deal to her. It will be easy to make things right by just spending time doing anything together today. You can help her with dinner, watch tv or whatever, get in a good chat. In the future, try to include your family in some of your stolen time, even if you would rather sleep it away or be alone, or do things with your friends.
Just a pesky thing, by the way, for next time, this probably isn't for the movie boards, it is more of a family and relationships question.

Melanie, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think we all as women get our hormones going and things seem out of hand and later don't. Chances are your mom was feeling the same thing since at one point she said she didn't think you would make the 1:00. I can see how sometimes you want to go out and others not. That is common for me as well. She probably wanted to spend time with you but maybe didn't want to go out herself, or maybe she was just surprised you didn't want to go and so that made her react a certain way. I would just give her a random hug and all will be well. Good luck!

It isn't the movie per se. Your mom probably feels like you're distancing yourself from her, and wants that time with you. Suggest some quiet time at home together doing a puzzle or something instead. Tell her how you feel about the upcoming midterm. She just wants reassurance that she's still an important part of your life.

It sounds like she just wanted to spend time with you
and midterms are so easy you should know that go and ask your mom if she would want to go later,
she won't be mad anymore and you won't feel bad as well.

Maybe you should go-you might like it. If you really don't want to don't. It's your choice.
