Answers:
Sounds like you are trying to grow up to fast. I didn't start to worry about things like shaving at that age.
ur mom loves u , inst that neough? anyway if u r given too much early in life u wotn apreciate it , i no u fink shes bein well harsh @ da mo but wen ur olda (i h8 peeps usin dat frase) it will becum clear and yeh my mum woz like dat 2 me til i woz 14!
wow. sounds like you need to talk to her.
I think you both need to talk
No, my mom isnt like her. Id doit & then shed yell but the damage has already been done. Like shaving my legs. But the way kids are now, Im sure youre mom is just frightened. Youll appriciate it in the end.
OMG that is exacty how my mom was when i was your age i am 23 now wow. just hang in there she will change trust me :).
shave ur legs what she doesnt know wont hurt her. and u should be able to eat what u want. tell your mom u are hungry. i dont know what else u can do but good luck.
Nothing, you have what you have, deal with it.
yea she is and she loves u so much she is just protecting u
tell her that you are growing up
but discuss it delicately.
if it doesnt work, you should know she is only trying to protect you.
i am 13 and i am not allowed to do certain things also.
but i make the best out of it.
but when i feel like there is a barrier between me and my mom i talk to her about it so she knows what bothers me. its very important to be open to your mom.
good luck-Pauline
I know it seems tough at the moment but everything she does is because she thinks it is best. You need to talk to her, show her you are responsible and can have a mature discussion about these things. If she won't change her mind then don't push it, it won't help matters.
Remember how much your Mum does for you. She loves you, even if she seems unfair.
wow that sucks i think u should talk to your mom about it and maybe she will change ger mind, or just rebel and do those things anyways without yuor mom knowing thats what i did my mom had to deal wit it
I THINK EVERYONES MOM, WELL THA LOVIN ONES R LYK THAT, SHE'S JUST WATCHING OUT FOR YOU, U'LL UNDERSTAND LATA ON
sounds like you are to worried about your looks being 12 , relax and enjoy being a kid , you will have plenty of time later to worry about this stuff
all kids think their mom is not as fair as other moms , would you rather her not care?
You mom knows what's best for you, and you should be happy that she cares so much to look out for you. I don't let my children eat sweets, and I don't give them money, and you shouldn't be telling people your bra size especially to strangers. My mom was more strict than yours when I was growing up, so appriciate what your mom is doing.
My guess is that she is trying to protect you from life. I would suggest telling her that you are getting older and would really like the privledge to do so. Maybe she can let you start shaving or tweezing your eyebrows so you can feel like a young lady. Just explain to her why these things bother you. I think she loves you and is just trying to do what she thinks is best for you. Maybe she will understand how you feel and compromise. Best wishes to you.
I'm not 12, but my mom has never been like that. Does any of this have to do with her religion? Is there anyone in the family that could talk to her for you?
well my mom wont let me shave either but hey i know that i can have sweets and any mom that wont let you have sweets has a problem unless there is something wrong with you and you cant sweets
I'm 14 now, but when i was 12 my mom was exactly like that, I Talked to her while also proving to her that i could be more indepentent. I came up with my own style and i told her how i felt. Now she leaves me alone, she actully lets me go out and buys me things again!
It may seem unfair, but know that she loves you
Just talk to her and prove to her that you are responsible enough for less "parental control"
Besides things seemed to let up a little when i got to high school!
Yeah sounds like my mom when i was 12. You will thank her one day.
tell her, how your feeling..
My daughter is 8 and has very hairy legs. I don't want her to be teased, so I shave her legs for her. If she had especially huge eyebrows, I would help her as well. I would definitely want her to get a good fitting bra (when she needs one). My daughter gets $5 a week for cleaning her room and not cluttering the house and will get spending money for special occasions if she is being generally well-behaved and helpful around the house.
I am very strict about where she can go and who she can hang out with and will continue to be when she is a teenager.
What do you mean your mom won't let you eat ANYTHING? Do you mean like food she considers unhealthy?
Sounds like your mom is super strict and trying to keep you being a kid. I think its hard for moms because they are scared of what can happen to their girls. This world just ruins them and she is afraid you will end up like many girls your age - sexually active and into trouble. Now smothering you isn't the answer either, as you need to learn to make your own decisions at some point, but I can see why your mom is doing it. I suppose there is nothing you can really do unless you try to have a talk with her and tell her that she has taught you right and you have the right morals to make some decisions on your own. It may do no good, but you have to try to communicate with her.
Good luck.
Ha!! Mommas, what would we do without them! You will know when you about 30 years old what it all about. I the mean time.. just trust your momma! Heck, you move out in time and can do what ever, then about when you 30, you will look back and say; "I should have listened to my Momma". We ALL do the same, not listen to those older that been there and try to help us do better.
jeeez calm down your mom sounds ok.
why do u need to shave and tweeze? it hurts.
i never ever got pocket money in my life so consider yourself lucky.
if u r an A u don't need a regular bra yet y r u so eager 2 get one?
u should appreciate her and stop stressin'
(i'm 15 by the way)
I AM a mom. Shaving is ok to start now, so you are accepted in 7th grade by your peers. Sports bras don't cut it, you need your size. Going out with friends is a privilage.where will you be, with who, and for how long, and I need to be able to contact my child at any time for emergency reasons. Plucking eyebrows isn't a huge deal.just do it. Pocket money is also a privilage, it's called allowence in my home.you do chores = you get money. Fairness is in the eye of the beholder.my kids are NOT allowed to have sweets unless it is the weekend, and then I monitor how much, obiesity in the young is horrible, my kids hate that I do it, but they will thank me when they are 30. Anything else they want to eat that is healthy, they can have as much of as they want! Maybe you and your mom should have a chat about this.where is your dad by the way? Contact me if you have any more questions.
youre 12?! gosh dont shave youre legs wait until you are older coz if you do they will regrow and if they did they will be more thicker and more noticable you are twelve and you dont have to wear adult bra wear a baby bra for kids youre age dont pluck your eyebrows coz natural is better. You sound like a kid that desperately wanna grow up. When i was your age my mom was exactly like yours and i am happy i followed her instructions
talk to her,my mom used to be that way until i became her friend,then i stopped fighting and joined her and got her trust,then,wala!she let me do almost anything.
i am 12 too but my mom let me do these things.you can talk to her and find why she doesn't let you do these things.OK
Well the thing that concerned me the most was the refusing to buy the right bra size, it's so important that you get a professional fitting because an ill-fitting bra is not a good look and it may cause you other problems.
You are still very young though but I would seriously try to get her to take you for a professional bra-fitting or try to get her realise that you need the right bra size if you really are a 36A.
Try to hang there, I'm sure she only does things out of love.
Well there are some things that I disagree with but that doesn't mean that she is right or wrong for doing them. Why she thinks that she needs to do these things would be what we also need to know.
But my question to you is how do you know that she or you are supposed to do anything?
She wont let you go out with your friends. Is there a reason for it? Maybe your mom knows something that you dont. It normally comes with age and when you get older alot of times you come to thank your mom for being the way she was.
Well lets just go down your list and try to see whats strange.
Shave your legs... Your 12. Honestly how hairy can they be at 12 and who should be feeling them?
What do you mean by "proper?".. Do they fit? (At an a do you really need a bra?)
Going out with your friends.. Nothing says that you have to go out with your friends.
Why would you want to pluck your eyebrows anyway. thats just something that shouldn't even be a problem at 12.
Nothing says that she has to give you money.. Have you ever tried earning it... I know thats so 80's but you do learn alot more when you have to earn your money reather then have it handed to you.
Mom isn't as fair as other moms... Your not the same as other kids. and (god I used to hate when my mom told me this..) if other moms where letting there kids jump off a building would she be unfair for not letting her baby do it to?
Eat sweets... Well eating sweets isn't a a need its a want..
Eat anything.. Anything that you want to eat? Your 12 you don't know what a balenced diet is. most adults don't know what a balenced diet is and if she is doing it because you wouldn't eat right then I applod her for knowing what the importance of a alenced diet.
Now if its just that she thinks that you need to lose weight so she wont let you eat then I have to disagree with that. Your still developing. and your body might be storing the food for a big growth spert.. Mine did.
My mom was like that to a degree. but what you have toi do is figure out why she is like that.. normally at 12 you think its just because she is mean. but in reality she is that way because she is looking out for you..But then again she is your parent, and thats her job. But if the reason is wrong then that would be a totally different story.
When I was your age, my mother didn't let me shave my legs either, I was the oldest child and, I listened to my mother, the kids at school made fun of me. When my younger sister turned 12, she just shaved her legs without asking. I would just shave them if I was you. Talk to her and tell her she isn't the one that has to feel horrible in front of her friends. You are too young to go out without adult supervision, I think she is right about that. Maybe you can ask her to take you somewhere with your friends and she can hang out in the background. If she doesn't let you eat junk food maybe its cuz she wants to take care of your health. I am sure you don't want to be fat as a teenager, right? I think your mother should learn to pick her battles. Good-Luck.
