my mom is kinda a control freak...
She won't let me shop with anyone but her. .not my dad, any of my friends.. or anyone.
She has to even be in the same department with me...
I only have a pair of jeans and two pairs of (very very ugly) capris that don't fit right.. so I really need to go shopping. She always says that she's too busy or that i don't need anything. I keep explaining to her that I need to go shopping because I am lacking in things to wear.. and she always makes up excuses. I'm also afraid that if we go shopping that she won't let me wear what I want to wear (low rise jeans and form-fitting baby t's) because she wants me to wear things from the girls section still. And when we went into aeropostale (once) she made me buy everything a size too big so I pray that it will shrink. I just don't want to look like i'm too poor to buy clothes.
HELP ME!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
13/f (if it helps size 1/3 and shirts small)

ps:you could also show her you are more mature by buying your owne clothse, or even buying her something! [ milliethu's advice column | Ask milliethu A Question ]
hopeihelped answered Sunday September 18 2005, 6:31 pm: Maybe your mom is afraid that you're growing up too fast, but in reality you're probably not. If you only have one pair of jeans and two capris, you're going to have to tell her that you need to go shopping because you don't have enough clean clothes to wear.
If she says, "I'm too busy to go," you can reply, "Well, so-and-so is free today, I could go with her. We could even carpool if that makes it easier. After all, I haven't gone out shopping in a really long time."
If she doesn't let you wear what you want to wear, then you can tell her it's uncomfortable for you. Tell her that it's not fitting and you will constantly have to pull them up if they don't fit.
Also, if you're a size 1/3 and thirteen years old.. you're probably really skinny! You've got a great body to show off, and you should feel free. If you need to trick your mom, here is how you do it. Bring the size that you wear and the size that she wants to wear into the dressing room, and take out the one that you want with you. Tell her it's the one that she wanted.

Mothers will get that way trust me I know how you feel about your mom making you buy clothes that you don't want. Good luck

BecauseYouLivex3 answered Sunday September 18 2005, 5:10 pm: You need to tell your mother your not a baby anymore. And shes treating you like you cant dress yourself. Just tell her you want to buy your own clothes. Clothes that fit. Tell her it's not like your gonna dress like a slut. If you dress like a slut she could take you shopping again. Which the way your talking you dont plan on dressing like one you just plan on getting clothes that you feel comfortable in and look nice in. Tell her your not going to dress like a slut. You just want to look good and everything. And you really want/need to go shopping because yoiu dont want to look like your poor. And what you wrote .. you should deffinately tell her that. And how you feel about it. hope I helped <3 [ BecauseYouLivex3's advice column | Ask BecauseYouLivex3 A Question ]
sunnyville answered Sunday September 18 2005, 5:05 pm: Stand up to your mom tell her how she is making you feel,that you are free to wear what you want to wear it's your body,why can't she be a good mom by not telling you what to wear.If you have someone older than you who agrees with how your mom is whatever you said she is then tell that person to help you out if you don't convince her.It's ridiculous why won't she let you shop with your dad either,ask her why,try to insist to let you choose what you want to wear,even show her that you really need to shop for more clothes so she would have no other choice but to buy you clothing.About the size of your clothing she wants to make you wear just tell her straight forward that the size will not look good on you,if she gets mad well she shouldn't because it is you who will be the one to wear it not her besides doesn't she have better things to do than try controlling other peoples lifes she should know better than that!
