Answer #1

my friend was in the same problem her mom didn’t want to let her go! She thought that if her daughter got her license, she wouldn’t need her anymore. she wouldn’t have to depend on her to take her where she needed to go, and she could leave as she pleased. But she talked to her about it and let her know that she’s her mom, with or without her licenses. she told her, she would let her know where she was going and when she’d would be coming home, she also told her she wouldn’t just go without telling her first. Just whatever you do DON’T threaten her with the whole, “I’ll be 18 really soon then you can’t say anything!” It gets you nowhere, sounds Very immature and believe me it makes anyone sound like they’re 5 years old taking a temper tantrum!

best of luck! :)

Answer #3

You can never show you are responsible. What I mean, is that you should look at things in your mom’s eyes to understand what she is saying. If you try to show your mom that you are responsible, then she will look at the situation like you are trying to get away with something, or you are doing something that you aren’t supposed to do. If you are not working, Get a job. When you start working, you will have a sense of responsibility, and you will have total independence. Clean up the house or keep the house clean. Cook dinner or help cook dinner. Do things to make your mom think that you are really trying to seem responsible. Then, that’s where the perks come in. But whatever you do, DON’T BETRAY YOUR MOM’S TRUST. When you do that, then it makes her hard to trust you. With trust, there is freedom, responsibility, help, and understanding. A mom will always want you to be independent, but you have to show you independence in order to respect responsibility. TRUST ME I KNOW!! LOL

Answer #5

I have one of the HARDEST moms to deal with, and now that I am grown, I see what she was saying to me when I was a teen about independence. Plus no matter what MOM IS ALWAYS RIGHT, AND SHE IS ALWAYS IN YOUR CORNER. NEVER LET SOMEONE OR SOMETHING COME IN BETWEEN YOU TWO. TRUST ME!

showing you mum your responsible?

well… as a mum, if my kids wanted to show me they were responsible.. it would be firstly by being reliable, being where you said you were going to be, being home when you said you were going to. looking after the stuff you had already, holding a job and not needing to be woken up to go.. getting to school on time. if they make a mistake, they own up to it and don’t try and make excuses for ‘what went wrong’.. admitting they don’t know everything.. and respecting people who have different opions..

being reliable, instilling trust into your mum is fundamental core of demonstrating to her you are responsible.

i know.. ‘if you could learn to drive you could prove it to her?’ sadly world doesn’t always work like that, just prove to her now that you can be mature and responsible with what you have.

also, your mum may just worry about you.. it’s terrifying your child going off and doing something like that, and a car is a lethal weapon, one moment when you’re not looking at the road? you pick up your cell cos you get a text? your friends mucking about and potentially distracting you can cost someone their life… and even yours.. so maybe your mum just wants to look after you… give her some time. x
