embarassing mom interferes with sports
(this isnt very long) so 17f and play basketball. well my mom is so consumed with work and everything, its kind of effecting her. she just got a job, and ever since she has changed a little. for example, on my bball team(second year im on it) theres some new people, one girl is a complete bitch, and doesnt cheer for anyone, never has a smile on her face, and yet gets played all the time (more than me and we are both really good players.) well the other day i found out she gave me errors on a stat sheet all the girls have to fill out, and i wasnt even playing! my mom was livid. a day later I over heard my coach talking about how she brings all the energy to the team (i wasnt even ease dropping, i litterally walked past her to go on the court.)i told my mom and said NOT to tell anyone, and not just that, but the girls mom complains about her daughter not getting playing time, when she plays all the time! so my mom went up to the coach privately, and told her everythinggg that happend, including how i overheard the convo. Im so embarrassed, and feel so akward now, my mom wont listen to me when i try to talk to her about how i feel about it. i just dont feel as though i can trust her anymore, help?

Your mom was trying to help. She has alot going on just like you and she was trying to help so give her some credit for that. Some good might come out of this too. The coach might pay more attention to you and might see that you are the great player that you are. Now your coach knows whats going on too so now she can see whats really going on. It might be awkward and embarrassing but it will die down soon. Your mom is busy now and she might have alot on her mind. Focus on basketball and have a good time!

I know it seeems embarrassing now, believe me that has happened to me so many times. You just have to let it go and realize that your mom did it because she thought she was helping you in the best way she could. It might be a good thing that she did say something because now the coach might look at you more. All you have to do is keep working hard in practice because the coach will be looking for you. When he realizes that you two can either play together really well or you are better, he will start playing you more. If she gave you errors then you should do the samee to her :) and about your mom, she just has a lot going on with her work- especially with this bad economy. Just try to remember that like you, she has so much going on that she doesn't always have time to give you full attention. This will teach you to become more independent and responsible so it could come to your advantage. I don't really know the type of relationship with your mom or how your mom is but maybe you could try to ask her if she wants to hang out sometime when shes free since you never do during the week. It might help your relationship since you feel like you are drifting apart. One more thing, in a few years, none of this will even matter so I wouldn't even worry about her talking to the coach. It might not seem like it now, but you will eventually look back on this and laugh.
