Hey
I'm meant to be going to see MCR with my best friend and my mum tonight. At first I was looking forward to it but now I've realised how sad i'm gonna look going with my mum and I don't want her to go. If your teenager said to you that they didnt't want you to go what would you say/do? how would you like them to say it to you?

TIA
Dani

I agree, you only think people will be looking at you

don't be mean to your mum

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 24/03/2007 09:32

My Chemical Romance, TR.

Lol - has that just confirmed your fears Dani about sad 'oldies'? No offence TR

I'd be gutted to be honest that my dd didn't want to be seen with me. I probably wouldn't go if she really didn't want me too, but I'd be upset. How old are you Dani? Old enough to go alone?

NoNoNoBodyInTheTomb · 24/03/2007 09:32

Could you say to your Mum - you know i might have to hang with my friends a bit tonight, and mightn't be able to hang around with yuu all the time - is that OK?

then you can go with her, but you won't have to be with her every minute

brimfull · 24/03/2007 09:35

sorry don't agree with the last two posters.
i wouldn't be hurt if my dd said this...she HAS said this before.
I would let you go with your friend and take someone else with your mum's ticket.
How old are you btw?

brimfull · 24/03/2007 09:36

Most teens i know feel exactly the same as you...it's not a personal insult to your mum and she'll know that.

HEY 29 isn't that old, I'm just seriously out of touch lol

brimfull · 24/03/2007 09:38

I would rather my dd ws honest with me than go to the concert with me and be cringing with embarassment .
I would TOTALLY understand

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 24/03/2007 09:38

I would be hurt - she's agreed to go with her mum and then changed her mind.

DaniellaC · 24/03/2007 09:39

I'm 15 and i think she'll let me go on my own (well with my friend cause she trusts her aswell) I just don't know what to say to her cause i'll feel a bit harsh saying 'sorry mum i don't want you to go cause you're embarrasing'
Thanks Everyone By The Way

I think you'll find there's lots of teens your age with a grown-up in tow.

If your are going to say it - be kind and give her a big hug.

To be honest if my doughter did this to me I would be gutted, maybe you could help her choose an outfit togehter so you wouldn't feel embarrased? And everybody else is right, all the other strangers there will not give two hoots about you and your mum, they will be too self involved.

brimfull · 24/03/2007 09:43

I am 44 dd is 15 too...she would feel the same.

DaniellaC · 24/03/2007 09:44

She bought the tickets as my christmas present. I Was going To meet up with some other friends before to get the train and stuff but I don't want to do this with my mum. I know I'm being selfish but she isn't going to like it anyway I think i'll just talk to her about it see what she says
Thanks
