What do I do about my mom who doesnt let me do anything at night?

Iam 14 years old. and I dont consider myself as an adult or a child. My friends usually hang out at night and I want to. but my mom is just too protective about me. I cant even go to sleepovers. she thinks that im too young to hang out. im not being racist or anything but im from Korea and I live in a foreign country and my mom hates white people because she thinks that they r “naughty”. she doesn’t even let me out that much when I hang out with friends. she spazzes when I hang out ONCE a week. I tried to talk 2 her about it. but it just NEVER works. its works to my dad though. he lets me out at night. I want to stay out till at least 8 o’clock but my mom thinks that 6 is VERY late. what can I do about this? im gonna hang out this friday till about 8. but my mom mite not let me. what do I say?

Answer #1

shes right but I am now 21 and I learned that when I couldnt go out with my friends it was just easier to see if they could come over to my ouse instead. Try asking your mom about that…it will make her feel more in charge because she at least can keep an eye on you.

Answer #2

how can I ask for a sleepover tho? because if I have a sleepover, I can stay out late with my frens.

Answer #3

Hi Babylove Xx Say to her that you are all going out and that you’ll all be back at about 8. Ask how many people can stay. Give her there contact details. If she wants you in at a certain time… STICK TO IT! So she can earn your trust. If your going to be late ring her and let her know. If you keep going out and coming home when she asks you to soon she’ll raise the time and you’ll be able to be home later. Hope this helps. -SimplyMaw-

Answer #4

Hi Babylove Xx, I was in the same situation as you once, im 13. I said to my mum that if I work for it like doing small chores and tell her that you will always have your phone on you if you have a phone. Introduce her to your friends and show her they’re nice and maybe bring them round a few times and maybe hang out at your house because then your mum knows where you are. If she interupts you just ask to finish. Dont argue about it. Just talk. I hope this helps :) -SimplyMaw- x
