My mom is kind of weird in my opinion. First of all she judges my friends a lot and I dont like it at all! Second she si always giving me advice on my period. Im 13 and I never had it. Shes always telling me "oh its going happen soon i can feel it!" and she asks "do your breasts get tender?" and stuff and I dont like it! If I tell her to stop, she will ground me and say that I was trying to boss her around. Can someone PLEASE help me?! Thank you so much!

I know you probably heard that a million times before but its true. She just wants whats best for you and wants you to live the best possible life. Now what you can do is talk to her maturely and not with attitude (because trust me, even the slightest amount of attitude puts moms on defense mode!) and tell her how you feel. Same with the period thing. [ askarial's advice column | Ask askarial A Question ]
beckyboo answered Monday June 18 2007, 3:19 pm: My mom's the same way-- she's always judging my friends, and even though she's right sometimes, it gets extremely annoying; she doesn't have the right to do that. What you should do is, the next time she says something about "Jane" or whoever, casually say "Yknow, Jane's a really good friend of mine,". She should get the message that you don't like hearing stuff about Jane.
With the period advice, she's probably trying to connect with you more and make sure youre comfortable talking with her about it. I know it gets annoying though. Next time, try saying something like "Oh, well, I hope it's not coming soon... I don't think it will," and just change the subject. Good luck :) [ beckyboo's advice column | Ask beckyboo A Question ]
