Hey guys, i've got a liiiiiiiiiiiiittle issue here.
Lately I've been spending my time on the computer, watching TV, playing videogames and drawing some various fanarts. My mom tells me to get a life, that videogames and all the rest of the stuff i do are a waste of time.
My problem is, how can I "get a life" if she doesn't allow me to do so?
My mom never lets me out of the house. She won't let me stay over at ANY of my friend's house unless she "knows their parents," I can't take a walk around my neighborhood (which, by the way, is COMPLETELY safe) and there are blocks on my computer that don't let me access ANYTHING after 8:00pm.
I'm 16 and now a Senior. The rest of my friends are out and about, hanging out, going to movies --- what am I doing? Sitting in my basement playing Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XIII for the ten-thousandth time because i have nothing else to do.
Thing is, how does she expect me to DO anything if i'm on such a tight LEASH?! I've tried talking to her, but she just says stuff like "Oh, we'll see," or "You're just making excuses, go do something productive." Like what, do the laundry? It's been done for three days!
How do i make her see that she needs to loosen up the rules and actually give me a bit of freedom if she doesn't want me glued in front of a screen all the time??
Just so you know, I've never given her any reason to be reluctant, I'm a straight-A student who's doesn't get in trouble and has never received a detention in her LIFE.
