my mom made me break up with my boyfriend just recently.I did what was told,but my mom still thinks we are going out.my mom makes me use the phone in the living room or let her listen on the other line.I have no privacy.How do I get more privacy?why is she doing this when I did what I was suppose to?
If you're good at this type of thing, I say you lie. Tell her you have a new boyfriend. Have like a guy call you all the time (that's your friend) and tell her you're going out with him.
If this doesn't work I think you should talk to her about it and how her how it is from your point of veiw. Yell if you have to because would you rather be grounded or have no privacy at all.

You could have your mom talk to your now ex boyfriend's parents (preferably his mom since women seem to be more open with each other) so that she's absolutely sure that nothing is happening anymore. It's just a thought, and it might sound kind of awkward, but I think it's the strongest proof you can give her that you're not dating him anymore.

Well I'd just sit down and talk to her and tell her calmly and resonably you did what she asked and then ask her to trust you because you havent done anything wrong. umm hope that helps!

Ask her why she keeps you in the living room talking on the phone.. why you cant have your own privacy. get it through her head that you ARENT with him. Tell her you like this other guy. Maybe then she might believe you. Does she not want you to have a bf? Well hopefully your mom sees that. Good luck &&hope i helped some (: [ MaNdASzHElP247's advice column | Ask MaNdASzHElP247 A Question ]

Like try and make sure the house is clean, or if you have younger siblings watch them, or just do things to make your mom realize that you are trustworthy and responsible, and she will cool down a bit.

xomegaroni answered Friday March 10 2006, 6:30 pm: i think that's basically a responsibility situation. if you prove to her that your responsible, she'll probably let you do more. maybe get a job, help out more around the house, etc etc. talk to her & tell her how you feel, respectfully though. would your bf er the guy you like have a problem talking to her?? i mean, maybe he'll prove that he's not a bad guy & there's nothing to worry about ya know?? juss try talking to her about it.
