So I sprained my knee playing soccer, and I won't be healed for a little while yet. And since that, my mom just sprang on me that she is not allowing me to go on vacation with my friends. She says that she doesn't trust me to be safe out there, even though I've gone on trips before. this is bullshit. I'm old enough. FFS, i'm in university. How can I deal with her to let me go, or at least not have to deal with this crap?
Come on now .. we all know the routine. No matter how old you are, in your mother's eyes, you are always the 3 years old kid and the fact that got hurt playing whatever that you did, proved to her that you're not able to take good care of yourself. It will take sometime to calm her down and you gotta show her that you can indeed be on your own by first acting like an adult; patiently wait till full recovery. You can always hang with your friends later. You shouldn't talk shit like that when she only cares for your well being.
Pay for it yourself if your in uni, your old enough, i think i would have a hard time getting my parents to pay for a trip for me as im not a kid anymore. im sure she will have no issue if you show that much determination. When i was younger (in school) i was gona go to canada or some place like that for skiing, my mom thought she could use it to her advantage with the "clean up now or you aint going" routine so i got the form, ripped it up and said i dont wana go AND i cleaned up. from that day my mom never attempted to use things against me cus it doesnt work. anyway, if you mama is paying then you go by what she says
^ it's not who's paying .. the bottom line here is that your mother's only look out for your best interest.
^read what he wrote... soccer is a sport. people get injured playing sports. wtf does that have to do with "acting like an adult" or "taking good care of yourself". if anything, he is taking good care of himself by exercising than not doing shit.
Thank you, at least somebody around here is reading what I'm writing. Yeah, so i buggered up my knee playing soccer intramurals. Getting injured has nothing to do with being "safe" or being "adult-like". She says that getting injured is "not being responsible". And... this has no logic behind it... oh and believe me, it has nothing to do with my grades. I'm a rockstar. Also, I'd also like to point out that I'm paying for my own education, this trip that i'm going on.
are you a fucking naive kid of some sort? the point is not how he got injured .. sport or any exercises are good BUT when you're injured, a mature person will wait for full recovery before doing something that is not important (like going on this trip with friends). When you're hurt, you should rest. That's the mom thing there kiddo.
Ahh... the fluttering of wings as they leave the nest... LOL... gotta love it. Two issues here; the first is that mom technically or legally has nothing to say about this. It's his life and body. Even if he chooses to quit school and be a drunken soccer has been... it's still his life. On the other hand, he is fretting about this because he loves his mother and doesn't want to break her heart. So even though there is nothing in the world stopping him from doing what he wants, well... except maybe his guilt, LOL... My advice, tell mom that you love her, and more importantly, know that she loves you and only has your best interest at heart. Acknowledge that sports injuries can be scary but that yours is not a serious one; that even professional sports figures play with minor injuries all the time. If you really want to go, advise mom that while you understand her fears, that it is very important for you to go on this trip. Let her know that you will call her and keep in touch to know that you're safe, and if anything does happen, that you'll call her right away. Also let her know that even though you're a big boy now, that you'll always be her little boy. Most of all, avoid the confrontation, acknowledge the fears, reassure with phone calls; then drive on.
No, unfortunately I'm not a "fucking naive kid" you douchebag. The issue here is trust. I'm not leaving on this trip until May. It's feburary right now. I should be healed soon. There is no surgery involved here. Essentially, I will be recovered in the coming weeks. This is not just hanging out with friends, this is hanging out with friends at a conference. There is a difference. I will be a keynote speaker at this conference too - to back out of this would look bad on me.
i love how OP is going e-trippin over negiq's response when he doesn't present all the info in the first post... i also like to laff at all the kids on here that whine, bitch and moan when their parents say no to something and say how mature they really are and how their parents don't know shit while still living in their home... don't want to deal with ur parent's shit? move out... otherwise, deal with it, live with whatever they throw at u... if u think being in Uni qualifies you as a responsible adult, u should listen to ur mum and stfu... lulz... -end trolling o o o!! and btw... "trip blocking"!? fo realz yo? roflcopter... -end e-thugin:sp_ike_d:
This is a funny thread. OP makes post, guy responds trying to comfort OP, albeit a little to enthusiastically, OP agrees with another dude, guy switches on OP, OP switches on guy lulz
if this is suchhh an important thing ya need to go to....then surely nuttin can stand in your way right..? nobody or nothing can 'trip block' you from anything.... do whut ya gotta do...^^
u mad? uhh read your first point. you made it seem like he injured himself irresponsibly by like getting high, drunk, or in a fight. how does getting injured playing a sport prove that someone cant take care of themself. and i would agree with his mom if he had the flu or was feeling ill, but it's a sprained knee. and this is a trip, not some weekend party or going to the movies. he's an adult now and im pretty sure he knows what his body can and cant handle. just because it's his mom doesnt mean she makes all his decisions in life.
^lulz... if he has to come online to ask advice about how to deal w/ his mum... do u rly truthfully believe this guy is adult enuff?
meh. looked at his post more as a rant than looking for advice. btw nice vid. switched it to mute. shit got better.
lol bb... this guy is trippin over not being able to go on a trip cuz his mum said no... if he really truly understands and can take care of himself, why would he need to ask a buncha random strangers online about how to deal with his mum? he supposedly "knows" that he's old enuff and can take care of himself... but in his mind he still needs his good ol' mum's permission? he needs his mum's blessings? plz... made of fail... btw steve, his last sentence = seeking advice m8 =/
