So my mom loves to spend time with me and she loves it when i go to work with her, and so i told her that i would go with her today. (because she is a therapist and i need medical hours to be a pediatrician in the future). but right after i told her that i would go with her my boyfriend called me and asked if i would like to go to the game with him. and this isnt just any football game. this is the last game for my school before state. if they win today then they play at state next saturday . football is a pretty big deal at my school too. so who should i go with. i would rather go tot the game, but i don't wanna hurt my mom's feelings.

Stay with your first commitment..Call your boyfriend and explain to him because you said you would go with your mother first you have to do so.
Don't ask your mother what you should do you already know what she would say. But you are now obligated to go with her and honor that Obligation no matter how much you may want to be with your boyfriend.

You need to get your priorites straight. The game is just a game, regardless of the outcome for the school going to state. The time with your mother as you said is toward a career goal in the future. And you already made a committment to your mother.
As later in life, you will learn that there will be times when you have to weight certain activities and make hard decisions. But this is one that you have made and the committment to your mother is a priority.
If your boyfriend waited that long to ask and then does not understand that you are a person with integrity, then what will this boyfriend be like later in life when integrity and committment as a priority.
Forget the game and go with your mother. But if you truly want to go to that game, then sit down quickly and talk openly and honestly with your mother about the problem. You might be surprised how understanding she is.

Go with your mom. A mothers opinion is what really matters. If you need the medical hours then going with her would also be helping your future. Plus, if the team wins you can go next saturday with your boyfriend. If you go and they lose it would be a waste of your time and you would be wishing you went to work with you mom. Im sure your boyfriend would understand that doing medical hours for your future is more important then one football game. Good Luck!

You, yourself nd to figure out if going to the game is for the social event? Going to work with your Mom is toward your future? I'm sure your boyfriend will understand, and, why can you not do both, just spend some time with your Mom at work, then go to the second half of the game?

Sorry, you had made plans with your mom first so you should probably go with that. Plus, you said that you need medical hours...I know you'd rather go to the game but it's all about priorities. What needs to come first? Why not go to work with your mom the day before or something or just earlier and catch the end of the game?

You already made plans with your mom, so you should go with her. Also it will give you the medical hrs. or what ever it is, that you need. Sure the game sounds good and fun, but you already made plans, and is it worth going and enjoying yourself blowing your mom off and hurting her feelings and not getting your hrs. so you can go watch a game????

tell him you already made plans with your mother. enjoy the time you two spend together. one day after you move out you will miss not spending time with her but youll have your memories to help you out. my mom has passed away and what i would give to be able to have one more day with her or to pick up the phone to hear her voice. you have the rest of your life to spend time going here or there.

as soon as i readthis, i figured u should go with ur boy. thats once in a lifetime deal. u can go with ur mama anytime.
but then again, u can go with ur mom if u want. do u think u will be bf/gf with ur bf 4ever and then marry and have kidz? i dunt think so. ull break up sumday. (srry 2 tell u this). but u'll never break up with ur mom, thats a 100% true.
but still, i know where ur comin from. so i still say go with ur boy.
ps, i this dont work out for u, i like katie f's answer. but if i could add to it, u never know. urmom COULD die at any moment. how would u feel? we can prevent simple things like hit and runs, heart attacks, etc. who DO YOU LOVE MORE!!! a football game. or ur mother?

Explain to her that you would really like to go to this game and that's very exciting that your school has gotten this far.
I'm sure she'll understand. But if she tells you that you have already committed to her, then understand that and go.
I don't think she'll not understand though.
Hope your team wins!
