I just don't get it.

Today my mother and I got into an arguement. It was over something so stupid! I have the responsiblity to the soccer team which  means I do scoreboard for the game and travel with them to the away games. BUT my mother doesn't seem to understand that I can't just drop that and do something else. Yesterday she told me not to make any plans because I had to drop my sister off for something softball. To ME, that's not quite fair. She knows I help with the soccer team and have since the begining. I understand family comes first, but it makes me feel awful that I am missing this soccer game when I promised. I guess we can agree to disagree about the situation.

It's too much...

My mother and I are in this funny stage right now. She is starting to try to all of sudden become this super strict mom. I am not even sure why. I've never had complete freedom, but I've never had a million rules. I'm not sure what her deal is, but it's kind of upsetting me. Yeah, I know I am going away soon off to college, but that doesn't mean she should try to control every little thing in my life right now. I may not be a parent, but one thing I do know is that mom needs to understand that I need to learn things the hard way. She can't also be there holding my hand or yelling at me if I mess up. I won't learn anything in life if she does this. Maybe when I finally go off to college and have responsibility and rules of my own, I will see what she is trying to instill in me. But for now, it is just way too overbearing and it's pushing me away.
