How do I hang out with my mom AND have fun with my friends?
Question Posted Thursday August 12 2004, 7:59 pm
My mom always complains about me never being home. She says that she thinks that i dont love her and only want to talk to her when i want something. (im sure everyone is gonna say that their mom is like that too), but are there any ways that i can 'hang out' or spend time with my mom with still being able to be as social and hang out with my friends as much as i do? please give me some ideas to have fun with my mom (i know that sounds lame) but i know it would help me to be able to do more stuff.

xogiirlygurlox answered Friday August 13 2004, 2:17 pm: well, you should take a day or 2 out of your week and instead of going out with your friends spend time with your mom. im sure there are some days where you dont figure out plans with your friends until the last second. so, on those days instead of rushing out to hang out with your friends, go shopping or stay home with your mom.
hope i helped!

chaos answered Friday August 13 2004, 9:17 am: Ok, I don't live with mom anymore, but we still stay in touch. I talk to her usually once a day on the phone. Once a week we have lunch together (we both work in the same city not far away). Occasionally, we go shopping together. We sometimes go on vacation together for a weekend. You don't have to give up a lot of time to spend time with mom. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
xo_dream answered Friday August 13 2004, 4:32 am: Spend a night or two a week watching movies // going out to dinner // going shopping // doing whatever with your mom. It's not as bad as you think, and it's not that big of a deal to give up like, one night a week. [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]
MummuM answered Friday August 13 2004, 1:56 am: Maybe you guys chould have a mother/daughter day, like once a week. (Then you still have time to go hangout with your friends) You and your mom could, Go to the movies, supper, shopping, catch up on things, talk, laugh, ect.

AdviceGuruGirl answered Thursday August 12 2004, 10:27 pm: Hey, I had this problem to!!! Well, some good ideas to hang out with your mom would be:
1) Go to the movies
2) Go see a play with her
3) Go to the mall
4) Go to a restaurant
5) Take a walk together
6) Take a drive together
Just do things that you know she likes also, because that would mean alot to her!! And you can still have social time. Another idea would be to set aside, say, every Thursday and have that be "Mom and me" time (sounds lame and corny but hey it works!) Hope I helped!

OrangeLuverr answered Thursday August 12 2004, 8:48 pm: My mom said that to me yesterday, the thing about only talking to her when i want something, i dont know..just ask her about her day and stuff like that, maybe then she will be convinced that you care about her and all. And ask to tag along when she goes shopping or something like that, you can talk on the way there. [ OrangeLuverr's advice column | Ask OrangeLuverr A Question ]

The_Big_Ticket911 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 8:28 pm: One thing u can do is to find out wut kind of things ur mom likes to do. For example, if ur mom likes to go bowling, u can spend time with her while ur at the bowling alley. Spending time with ur mom doesn't mean u have to stay home. However, u may have to sacrifice a little bit of time with ur friends in order to do this. U just have to decide if u love ur mom enough to miss a little time with ur friends for her.

CheapChineseFood answered Thursday August 12 2004, 8:25 pm: I know this may sound weird...but if you actually spent time with your mother...instead of TRYING to make time for her, you might actually enjoy it. You can do that whole "I don't want to "hang out" with my mother, and have a huge social life...but it's pointless when you think about it. Your mother is always going to be there for you, and she loves you unconditionally...and would die for you...how many of your friends would do that? I'm not saying to NOT spend time with your friends...I'm just saying DO STUFF with your mother. Go shopping with her and don't ask for anyhing for a change. When you go into one of her shops..and she's trying on clothes....tell her how great they look on her. It's alright for mothers and daughters to be friends. And eventually you'll want to do stuff with her, rather then spend every waking moment with your friends. Imagine if one of your best friends spent all their time with another friend? You'd be jealous too. Try to see where your mother is coming from...and compromise. She has a life too. [ CheapChineseFood's advice column | Ask CheapChineseFood A Question ]
