Depressed_Poet answered Thursday May 3 2007, 4:52 pm: don't take this the wrong way but your mom is being really immature. she's totally handling it the wrong way in my opinion. i think she was just offended and maybe it was "the wrong time of month" if you know what i mean and got upset over little things because of it. i mean, we all have our moments! so i think you should take the first step and apologize because i think it sounds like she was hurt. but nothing either of you should lose sleep over, if you know what i mean. maybe she had a bad day and couldn't find an outlet to channel her anger ( I don't mean to be rude) so she just snapped at you. to aplogize you should probably say this,
"Hi, mom. Look... about earlier, i didn't know i was offending you. i thought you were going to sit with the other parents and i didnt mean for you to get upset. i'm sorry." and maybe you can ask to do a favor or cook dinner to make it up to her or something? but i really think she should apologize too because you really didn't do that much. but the way you said for her to go sit with her parent friends was disrespectful because she only wanted to see you. but i wasnt there so i cant tell you everything about your tone- lol. anyways, sometimes it's not what you say; but how you say it.

Take the first step and apologize...i think she thought that you're embarrassed by her presence around you and your pals when she only went there to cheer for you or watch you.
Let her know you're the happiest person because she is your mother. Make sure she knows you appreciate her presence around you every single second.
