Mom...
My mom is bananas.
She doesn't listen to me. Ever. Like, for example, today, I asked her to pick me up a block away from school. She was standing RIGHT out front, so I told her how appalled I was at her behavior and she cancelled my manicure. Her excuse was 'You have a friend'. Yeah, a friend that I carpool with every day.
I always get in trouble, and this summer is going to be full of fun, so i need ways to deal witht his. Thanks!

My kids never had a problem with me picking them up from school so, I don't understand why you care? Maybe you should treat her more like a friend. It may just make your life easier. :)

ummmm this is kinda what moms do. So just take a breath and be glad your mom doesnt beat you.

Maybe you shouldn't be so embarassed of your mom? Just a suggestion. I mean, if my mom was nice enough to pick me up at school AND set up an appointment for a manicure, I wouldn't mind where she picked me up. Jesus, kids nowadays are so ungrateful.
Anyways, how is she bananas? I guess cancelling your manicure was a little off on her part, but what was her reason for doing it? If you actually just said quietly that you wanted her to pick you up a block away from now on, I can understand why you think she's bananas. But if you yelled at her, then that's your fault.
What're you always getting in trouble for? Maybe you should try being nice and not getting in trouble so you CAN have fun this summer. Once again, just a suggestion on my part.
To sum it all up: Sure, parents can be "embarassing" some times, but they love you and go way out of their way to do stuff for you. Appreciate that.

You're lucky that your mom can pick you up from school and is willing to give you a manicure. Yeah, parents are embarssing but we all have them. Just deal with it and try to be thankful that you have a mom who loves you.

Calm down a little. Your mom made a mistake everyone makes mistakes. However, you mom shouldn't have any right to cancel your manicure. Next off it seems like your mom is a forgetful person. Try telling her a few times that she needs to do something. As for her punishments tell her you just get annoyed when she forgets something. You overreacted a little but she did too. Sit down and have a conversation with her about how she needs to remember the stuff you tell her.
I'm now sorry but I must do it:
This shit is bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s
This shit is bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

Your mom sounds a little bit forgetful. Okay, a lot forgetful. If I were you, I'd take Post-Its or a card tucked into her work lunch to remind her where to pick you up. Even if my parents are extremely late and I get mad, they always tell me that I'm being silly and that I need to be more mature. Your mom probably feels embarrassed that she messed up where to pick you up, so she was trying to find an excuse to make it all better, which of course it didn't. Use a lot of computer reminders and things like that, and your summer will be a great one!

im assuming that you're at least 13. you need to tell your mom that you aren't a little kid and that she can't hold on to you forever. if its a matter of being worried about your saftey than make a compromise. if you go out you'll call her every few hours. set a time you are both comfortable with. you might also want to establish a curfew.
i had the same problem with my parents. they never used to listen when i said something and they were always overprotctive. i made a deal that i would call them when i got to school, when i was leaving school and every hour when i was out. soon that turned in to every two hours and so on. now i only have to check in every 5 hours. it may seem like a drag having to check in at first, but the end result is worth it.
your mother probably doesn't want to see you as anything but her little girl that used to want to be with her all the time. that used to listen to everything she said. you've got to expect that your parents will try to keep you close. tell your mom that you are growing up and that you have your own opinions and that you need to be heard. hopefully she will listen to reason.
