ahh!! ok, soo I've been playing the piano for about 5 years. when I first started my mom literally had to drag me there because I didn't want to do it. then I was lying to her saying I enjoyed it. I thought, hey if I did something for my mom, maybe she wouldn't hate me. But anyways, I have been telling her I dont want to do it anymore for about a year. She said to me today "I dont want to listen to this. you dont want to do anything but sit on your lazy ass" OMG, I can't stand this! I hate the piano! My mom tells me she loves me but those are just words. she doesn't actually mean it. Whenever I try to talk her her she's like "I'm not going to listen to this! You're a very ungrateful spoiled brat" Oh, and she was on the phone and said "she always complains school is very hard for her, but why would she graduate number 2 out of 360?" OMG, I have to study about 5 hours a day, and spend about 3 hours on homework!! Please help! She does take me to the barn every day and does help me but I think thats only because horseback riding is my sport and she wants to get me "off my lazy ass"

Redheadedgal answered Thursday July 22 2004, 2:13 pm: From what you're seeing I don't see that your mom hates you. I have seen much more with the little boy I babysit and I don't think his mom hates him either. I think your mom wants you to go out there and do something with your life..maybe she didn't and she wants it for you, or maybe she did and she wants the same for you..so she feels if she pushes you hard growing up that will make you more likely to succeed. Talk to your mom and tell her you feel she doesn't care and that will probably help and clear the airways. Good luck! [ Redheadedgal's advice column | Ask Redheadedgal A Question ]
angita answered Thursday July 22 2004, 2:09 pm: well i really dont think ur mom hates u.. wat she probably wants is for u to be successful and not b "on ur lazy azz" u noe.. maybe if u can try telling her tat u really dont feel lyk she cares.. that u need actions not just words.. but if she didnt care she wouldnt care on what u did.. tell her that the piano really isnt ur thing and that u could try something else! and about the studing u could take lil breaks in between those 5 hours but if u wanna stay #2 then u gotta work hard.. hope i helped xoxo angie [ angita's advice column | Ask angita A Question ]
jbdreamer answered Thursday July 22 2004, 2:02 pm: Don't doubt that your mother doesn't love you, she just wants the best from you. Unfortunatly her expectations seem rather high.
Tell your mother that you are old enough to know what you like, and don't like, and piano is something that you just don't enjoy. And it's not because you are too lazy to bother, it's because it's not enjoyable. Being forced to play will make you hate it even more, and by the time your an adult you will never touch a piano, even if you have talent.
Remind your mother that you are a hard worker, and that you do want to please her, but you feel she is pushing you to hard. You are just a kid, and you can't be perfect. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
Hotblonde123 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 2:00 pm: Your mom does love you. She always will no matter what. I think that you should talk to your mom about it. Sit her down one night and explain to her how you feel. If she says she doesnt want to listen then write her a letter explaining how you feel about this. It is very wrong for her to say the things that she is saying. Hope I helped a little. GOOD LUCK! [ Hotblonde123's advice column | Ask Hotblonde123 A Question ]
marebear96 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 2:00 pm: Ok... ive been having a little trouble with my mom too. Like whatever I do its never good enough. I always do something wrong... and she always tells me "the world doesnt revolve around you" when all i do is try to be good for her... So i kinda know where your comming from. But your mom does love you, and she just wants to see you go far in life. Try to explain it all to your mom on how your feeling... tell her what you just told everyone about how you wanted to do something for her (the piano)but how u always felt aboutit. And if she dont listen... make her listen. I play piano to and my mom had to drag me to lessons... i love it now... but... maybe your mom thinks lik... if you quit you'll regret it later... cause i always told my mom "i hate piano" and now i love it... Jus hang in there hun. I dont know if you believe in God or not, i do and everytime i pray to him he always comes through for me... You could try it... Ill pray for you too. Good Luck *mary* [ marebear96's advice column | Ask marebear96 A Question ]

Pink_Flamingo answered Thursday July 22 2004, 1:53 pm: Well youve been playing it for 5 years. This was not the time to speak up! Now your mom has put alot of money into it, you will just have to deal with it. How do you know your mom didnt have to study to graduate that well? She definatly did. Try looking at it from you moms prespective, shes just trying to do what she thinks is best for you. [ Pink_Flamingo's advice column | Ask Pink_Flamingo A Question ]
