Help with mom?!
Question:
Help with mom?
Heres the thing, everday i wake up at 6 to go school. I get good grades and do sports on top of that. Now that summer vacation is here all I did was fight with my mom. She wants me to do spanish homework, plus read a 360 page book in five days. I have been stress out with sports, homework and other things. It been a long and hard year. All i want to do is relax. How do i get her to understand that i dont want to do anything. I tried talking to her but she wont see my side of the story please help.
Answers:
Your mother obviously wants what is best for you, but at the expense of trying to cut you some slack. As a hard-nosed mother myself, this is what I suggest.
Be very respectful of her and politely request that she give you some relaxation time mixed in with your summer homework. For example, ask if you can read the 360 page book in 10 days instead of five, and if you have have one or two days per week with no homework.
If you approach her in this way, she might see that you aren't trying to get out of work and that you still want her to be pleased with you, but that you would just like a bit of time to unwind this summer before you hit it hard when school starts back up in the fall.
Good Luck!
