a lot of work
I am 17 & i work in a candy store. it gets really busy during the holiday time & for the last few weeks before christmas they are open sundays. my mom told me that she will, for no reason, allow me to work both days during the weekend. i forgot about this (it was a few months ago when she told me)& i just looked at my work schedual & in a few weeks from now they have me on on saturday & sunday!!!!! i don't want to work this either, but i feel like my boss will be MAD if i tell them this, because we are SO busy during the holidays! how do i please my mom, my boss, & myself? should i work for like 1 saturday & sunday in a row but tell them i can't for the rest?!?! or what do i do??

You should be honest with your boss, and tell him that you are willing to work one of the days, but it is too much to ask for you to work both. The worst that can happen is that he fires you, and if that happens, it sucks, but at least you can look back and think about how you stood up and told your boss what you wanted. Also, if you've been a good worker and you work hard, then he shouldnt fire you, especially when he's understaffed, however, if he asked you if you didnt mind working, and you agreed to work both days, then you are at fault. And if he does fire you, then its your fault. Or you can deal with the fact that you agreed to work and handle it. It;s your job, and sometimes things will come up that wont be fun. No matter what you wont please everyone, so figure out what you think is the right thing to do, and deal with whomever else is upset. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you just have to deal with it. I hope I helped you to figure out the right decision. Happy Holidays!

I think if mom agrees you should attempt to work the Sundays. It will probably just be temporary and if you refuse they may find someone else who wants a job and let you go. It is tough trying to schedule workers and get those busy times covered. If you can't to it you'll make it so someone else has to.
That might cause problems with co-workers. You don't want that.
If you can just get through the holidays it will all go back to normal. Maybe you will make extra money too. That's always good! :)

This is of course just my opinion, and what i would do in your situation
I believe that you should try working for your boss. You made commitments, and should try to honor both, but im sure that your mother will understand and not be angry with you. You need to show your boss, that you are a reliable worker, and asking for days off doesnt show this. At least if you work both days, just think extra christmas money!
