HELP NIGHTFLY!!!! Pretty please???

[Night Fly]

My mom pays for my cell bill...okay (don't tell me how she shouldn't...I already know that...lol), but I get a call from her today and she is made because somehow, I went over my minutes last month by 372...

Anyway, she was PISSED...and threatened to cancel it....well, I told her not to worry about it, that I would pay for the extra minutes (114 bucks worth). Well, she wouldn't have that...and I told her that if it would keep her from cancelling my bill then I would do it. This isn't the first time I have gone over my minutes, though...has happened about 5 times, but it's never been this bad. I can understand her being upset...

Well, then...we start arguing (which is becoming about a once a week thing...even though I live 2 hours away). She gets pissed and HANGS UP ON ME!!!!!!!!!! You know...I don't care what she does, but she HANGS UP on me... that is my pet peeve...and she knows it. Then she has the audacity to call me back and expect me to answer/???// I don't think so. I have been livid about it all night.

What do I do?

STORY NUMBER TWO!!!!

Another story. Because the mom pays for my car insurance/gas/maintenence on the car...they have a say so as to where I go. Well, I traveled up to where my bf resides...about 3 times without her knowing. Well, it's not a small trip....3 and a half hours...but I pay for the gas so she never knows that I go (or so I think).

Well...she just sent me an email about how she figured up the milage from when the mechanic worked on my car about a month ago to now. I have put 2555 miles on my car in a month. She asked me to explain this. Now...how do I go about telling her what happened?

Now...I don't want you all to think that I am never honest with my mother...because 96% of the time I am...it's just that she is a confrontational person (not intentionally...but is, none the less) and I just hate arguing with her.

WHAT DO I DO????

This situation is more urgent than the other one. She just called me again....nope...not answering the phone.

Support your ownself and then you won't have Mom breathing down your freeloading neck.

Just tell her the truth about visiting your bf.


Besides, he's too big for you to hide.


As far as the phone goes, I wouldn't sweat it.

Ok, on second thought. ... the extra miles could come from going to the library for study papers... guessing you are a college student.

Or from running errands for a sick friend who had the flu.

Or you could say your car was "stolen" and returned before you missed it.

I don't know.... the truth usually works for me.

For the first problem, Talk to your mom, explain to her you are sorry for using too many minutes and you will pay the difference, do not get into an arguement again it wont make matters any better.

For the Second problem, You can either tell her you were visiting your boyfriend (does she not know about him or something?) if she doesn't tell her she may be a bit more understanding for the mileage, if you don't want to tell her for some reason tell her you would just go driving to clear your head from all the exams and work you have had over the past few weeks/months....

YOu know you don't have to be a jackass about that. Honestly...if you talked to my friends...you would know that I do NOT like my parents paying for everything...but seriously...they insist.

I wouldn't be able to make it as it is right now if they didn't.

So please...spare me the crap about how I need to support myself...I know that and I've tried.

Having your parents pay for everything is not the greatest thing...especially when you have a mother who constantly makes you feel guilty for it.

Well, she knows about him....its just that she wouldn't approve of me going up there so much because of the "milage" on my car. She says I am running the car into the ground and that I need to give it a break. If she didnt' pay for it...would she really have the right to say something?

if she didn't pay she would have no say.....i mean she would have say from the standpoint of being your mom and trying to put her 2 cents in but no no other say.
