Anonymous asked: My mom is always out. Like she never stays home or spends the night. And im older (17) so i get why she wouldnt as much now, but its been since i was 14. I just stay home by myself all the time. And whenever i bring it up to her she just laughs and makes a joke out of it. And thats why idont tell her anything and go to my aunts alot and she yells at me for not spending time at home when its her. Do you think our relationship can be okay or what do you think ?

I think your relationship will be fine. Usually the mother-daughter roll is reversed at your age and the daughter wishes the mother would be gone more while the mother wishes her baby girl wasn’t growing up. You’re a teenager in your prime years of mischief! What’s with the sudden concern? After 3 years, her absence has become routine.

All I have to say is that my mother works in the film business, and when I was growing up, I saw her very rarely. Her career choice made it so I saw her one week out of every month since I was about 13. I’m now 19 and nothing has changed. I don’t get along with my mother, but I never did, distance never changed that. Maybe try asking her if she wants to see a movie and plan to have a day together? She is an adult, so she is free to spend nights away like she’s used to, but if you miss her, ask her to set some time aside from you one weekend.
