my mom wants to get a hotel room when we go visit my neighbors daughter (my best friend) in college next week instead of driving home for an hour. She wanted to get one that didnt have a pool or wireless. So im used to going to like the best so its hard for me to just not go to a good one. so i said if theres no pool or wireless then ill just stay at home for the night and drive home. she freaked out. and told me i should get a hotel room and pay for it myself if im going to be a brat about it. Was I wrong?

the rude comments were unnessisary.
me and my mom have a super good relationship, shes like my best friend.
and i over reacted and found out the real reason she wanted to get a hotel room without pool or wireless... because every other hotel was booked, except one that was 300 dollars a night and we both felt that would be a waste of money.
But in the end she did find a hotel with pool and wireless.

i don't think it was rude to state your opinion but maybe the way you said it was rude, i wasn't there i didn't know, and maybe your mom took it in the wrong way. i say things all the time that people take the wrong way. maybe you could meet halfway or consider how often will you actually use the pool and wireless, maybe it will save you money.

I think part of you knows that you were wrong.You just need to go through some things in life to appreciate what you do have.Is it really so bad to go without a pool or wireless? Surely the best thing about the trip is seeing your best friend.When you're young, and used to having certain things, and your parents have to say no (for example if they can't afford something) you have to accept that, even if you don't like being told no.My kids do it all the time, ask for stuff, and sometimes I have to say no.
Just give your mother a hug, say sorry, and enjoy your trip.My mother and I haven't seen each other for 7 years.I've been seriously ill and wish she'd been around for me.So enjoy your mother while she's there for you.

ALRIGHT you just do that then Stay home and not see your best friend...COSTS more to stay at a hotel with pool and wireless. Your mom is paying for it NOT you. AT least at the hotel you have a bed to sleep in. Unlike homeless people. Grab a homeless person and give the homeless a place to sleep instead of yourself. You'd make a difference, instead of being your own selfish self.

Did it ever occur to you that your mom might have wanted to spend some quality time with you? If you are only sleeping at the hotel, what do you need a pool for? I can't get over how spoiled kids are these days.

I think you were being a little inconsiderate by your response. Perhaps you need to consider your Mom's needs. Perhaps her intent in seeking a hotel that didn't have a pool or the Internet is because she knew you would be more opt to do those things versus spending time with her. Sounds like she just wants a little time, so why not give it to her. It's just one weekend, and I'd think she'd appreciate you being attentive to her needs for a change.

I'm kind of confused about your question... the college you are going to is only an hour away and your mom wants to stay at a hotel for the night? First, if it's only an hour away then there shouldn't be a problem driving home (unless you're going to drink). Secondly, if you were to stay at a hotel, why does your mom insist on staying at a cheap hotel? Kinda strange... I don't think it was rude of you at all to say you didn't want to stay at a dump. If it is only an hour away, and you're not going to drink, drive home.

Whats the difference if theres a pool or not? Besides most hotels have pools now a days. Generaly the cost is all about the same. beside its just for the night any how. Suck it up.

That depends on if you were paying it all or she was. If she's paying for it, suck it up. Here's a news flash hotels are for sleeping not entertainment. You owe your mother an apology immediately. You should always respect the women who spent ears wiping your various body parts. If my son did that he'd just stay home and not go period. Since your friends in college I'm assumeing you are too so start acting like an adult.
