What should I do about my mum?
Well.. my mum and I had an argument yesterday. What happened is I have a radio show and on air the girl I do it with asked me if my school has uniforms and how long I've been there. I saw nothing wrong with that, but my mum said it was personal and at the end came and shouted at the girl for asking me personal things on air. I was really embarassed and apologized to my friend for what my mum did. This is the second time this has happened. another time I had a friend in the car and my mum started yelling at me in front of her. She told me she'd never embarass me like that again, but then she did it yesterday. So I told her I was ashamed of her. I didn't really mean it as I was mad, but she hasn't spoken to me since and she was crying this morning.
I've tried apologizing, but she says she knows I meant it. Thing is I was really mad about what she did to my friend, especially since it wasn't even a big deal. Am I in the wrong here? I don't know what I can do.

Dead What should.......
This is one of those "grounds" in which the area is neither black or white but grey. What you and your mother need to do is actually talk this one out mother to you and visa versa. It was wrong what your mother did but I can see how your mother would over react because non personal things to you may be very personal to her so you are going to have to talk to your mother about a common ground, such as she doesn't like to be embarrassed so she should return the favor. Also she was over reacting by yelling at your friend she being the adult should have acted like one and approached her differently.
Hope this helped,

In no way are you wrong for being that way. In anger, we say a lot that we don't mean. But in truth, that is the true feeling of the time. I know you feel bad about telling her that, but if you hadn't, she probably would have done it again. She realizes now how much it bothers you so she'll be thinking a bit more if or when she thinks of it again.
