advice
I have 2 best friends. Basically we all hang out together, but now that it's summer we all have separate things going on. So my friend, who i'll call P, has a very paranoid and overprotective mom, who i don't understand one bit. she let her go on a plane trip to a different state for a band trip, but won't let her go to the mall. the other night it was about 7:45 maybe 8:00 and we wanted to go see a movie but her mom said it was too late, but after she was gonna sleep over my house. so instead of a movie we wanted to practically walk up my street to get ice cream, so my friend HAD to call her mom to let her know so of course her mom said no b/c it was too late and was gonna be dark and she didn't want her walking home in the dark. so not only does she limit what she can do, but my other best friend and i. we're 15, and she'll be 15 in august. it's not like we're stupid girls who drink, do drugs/smoke, we're smart. we wouldnt leave each other in the middle of the road or something. her mom is so paranoid and my friend never opposes her mom. she's just like okay mom, instead of mom its not even dark out yet nothing is going to happen! if my mom was like that i'd be soo arguing her. should i talk to my friend about this and what should i do?? thanksss so much.
i think you should talk to her and tell her exactly how you feel about all of this.
if your friend, P, is an only child maybe that is why her mother is so paranoid and over protective. i know what it feels like because i for one am an only child and my mother sometimes does the exact same thing but she gives me my space.
another thing, today's world isnt the "best". many people today get rapped etc. and maybe her mom feels that she doesnt want just the two of you going alone for that reason. i mean, i see 11 or 12...but you guys are 15 or going to be 15 and she should have some freedom.
when your talking to your friend, maybe you should tell her to have a talk with her mom and maybe suggest some boundaries. Like maybe i cant go to the movies past so and so time...etc.
but i think you should definately talk to her.
friendship can get messy, but in the end it will be alright(:
hope i helped.
