My mom won't let me go to sleepovers --- is this weird?

Question

When I was 5-11 of course she doesn't let me.
When I'm 12-14 she doesn't too. This is the girl's fun time, I realize.
She always tells me, "You already have your own home, why should you sleepover to your friend's?"
She only allows me to sleepover in my cousins' houses. Duh.
Is this weird? (mom not letting her daughter to go sleepover at mu age?)
And how to convince her to let me?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

your mom is too overprotective.



i know cause my mom is the same. she only started becoming lenient with my smallest sibling.



its really not weird! your mom cares about you!!!! thats all... why dont you have sleepovers at your house instead? in that way shel let you mett your frens, see theyre good girls and in the future allow you to sleepover at their houses.

You might be right in saying that you're 18 and have the legal right to take your own decisions. But if you think from your mom's perspective she must be having her own reasons and surely very strong ones. If I was in your place I might've listened to her knowing that I am not as much aware of the real world and that my parents would always want good for us. In the end, the decision lies with you again. Good luck !

Ok well You shouldn't complain because I wasnt allowed to by my father to go to sleepovers at familys house (like cousins) ior friends until the age of 17 when me and him werent talking so i just left to my friends house. Funny thing is my mom didnt even care.



His thing was that "i don't know the fathers. They could be rapists" Kind of sad right

Answer 4

what ur mother is doing is very good... 'coz u never cant tell how people are in today's world... she is just being protective. i feel u should respect ur mother's feelings... u dont know how much tension she is having in just bringing up a girl child in today's bad world. get rid of some of the tension from her shoulders just by at least listening to what she tells 'coz ur mom knows the best.

if u still feel its a must for u to have sleepovers, ask ur mother politely if u could ask ur friends for a sleepover at ur home... that way she can monitor u so that u r safe.



when u are old enough & u have kids, only then u will understand the feelings & tensions of a mother. please try to understand her why she is asking u to do certain things & respect her. ur mother will always tell u whats good for u. but u cannot always trust ur friends.

Answer 5

Sounds like your mom is overprotective or something. Try having a sleepover at your house.

Answer 6

my mom is like that also...probaby she thinks that boys will be there and since your getting older and getting to know more about life, she doesnt want anything weird going on or she might not want you to sleep over because she wants you to be safe and she doesnt feel as if you are going to be safe with your friends parents. And at your cousins house she knows that she can yrust them and that you will be safe and that nothing weird will happen.

Answer 7

i went thru the same thing...

i started having sleepovers when i was about 11. then when i turned like 15.. she didn't want me sleeping over bc i liked boys and she thought they wud be there. but i wud tell her to call the girls parents and talk to them. and she would, and she would ask what we will be doing, and if her mom will be home the whole time... and she would always end up letting me go.

so tell your mom to let you prove to her it will be okay. and she can call the parents to make sure everything will be good.

girls just want to act crazy together!

Answer 8

Maybe if your mom talked to the other girls parents?

If its a shady situation then she wont let you go fersure. But clue her in? Just talk to her and ask her why. Dont raise your voice or anything. [i had lots of problems with that]. and assure her the situation is under control. lol.

Answer 9

it is not weird. your mom probably loves you alot. my dad is the same too. he always asked me to sleepover at my cousin's house but never once at my friend's house.

how to convince is to let her trust u. once you have her trust she probably will let you decide for yourself on what is right and what is wrong.

Answer 10

maybe she doesnt want you to grow up.



ask for your friends to come round. maybe she will see how much you have grown up and how much fun youre having.





- to answer your question that you added on ; i had my first when i was 6. my friend lived down the road from me.
