My mom made this weekend for us in the Cape, like just a few days. i didn't particularly want to go, I don't like beaches and I don't like the heat, and all my mom's going to do is sunbath while I sit in the hotel and read and bore myself to death. But I go because I feel like it's my obligation because she complains that she has no money but she makes us go on these trips. It just makes me feel guilty if I say I don't want to go with her. So today she yells at me about packing and just bickering. It made me not want to go. Because it just means that we're going to fight the whole time. But we were in the car and she had a ***** fit complaining about my attitude or whatever because I ran inside because I forgot something, I told her I was going inside, and then when I come out she made me go get something for her and I was pissed because I already was in there. So she kicked me out of the car and now shes off to the cape and I'm at home. I feel completely guilty and I don't know why.

I feel like I should call her and ask her to come back and take me even though I don't want to go just because I feel so guilty about it, I feel like I've failed somehow. I'm just sitting here sobbing and theres really no reason for it and I just feel like an idiot. I always feel guilty if I go against her plans.

Believe it or not, your mom is feeling just as miserable as you are about this. She plans these trips because she understands that you are going to be grown and gone soon, and she wants these trips to be great memories of family times. Traveling is stressful, and some people have trouble not getting irritated, but you guys love each other, and can work it out. Don't call her now, you both need some time to cool off. You should call her tonight and check in, and tell her you miss her. Do something to help her around the house while she is gone and you will feel better. And please, when she gets home, talk about the problem of being bored at the beach, maybe next time she will let you take a friend along! Good luck.

Hate to say it sweetie, but you deserve what you're getting. It doesn't matter if your mom says she doesn't have money. It should mean something to you that even when money is tight, she is making an effort to take you somewhere nice and spend time with you and you behave like a spoiled brat. Try thinking of others before you think of yourself for a change. You'll find that you will be a bit more understanding and things like this will stop happening to you. :o)

you didn't say how old you are, but let me give you a word of advice. mom will be mom for all of eternity, but your only going to be a kid once. did it ever dawn on you that maybe she just wanted to spend some time with you. hey if you don't like beaches and heat, go hang out at the mall.

You should call your mother and apologize. You behaved like a spoiled ungrateful child. Tell her you appreciate her effert to give you a vacation at the beach, not all kids get to do that.
You are very lucky to have such a nice mother.

Sounds like she doesnt know what she wants either - Personally I would just stay home - dont contact her unless you need to for what ever reason - let her come back and take things from there - just enjoy your alone time in peace and harmony

I think you are normal,.... your mom has a huge problem ans is laying on the "mom trip" on you, she needs help, how old are you and you need to stand up to her but still respect her, what a mess this is, I feel so bad for you, and do not know what I can do to help you but I will listen to you.

Take advantage of the opportunity to throw a party.

Yeah but you got what you wanted. And obviously you are old enough to fend for yourself. So do so.
