I can make my own decisions, mom.

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 8:59 AM
ahhhh! :slap: :slap: :slap: Before i go on all bitch mode, WARNING! :bulletred: BITCH MODE IS BEING ENTERED
:bulletred: IF YOU DO NOT LIKE BITCH MODE


:bulletred: I SUGGEST YOU RUN AWAY, NOW O_O :bulletred:


Okay, so this is how it all started....

my mom said I'd look cute in a bob, so I googled it and thought about it. We went to walmart later in the week, and she showed me a side view, etc of it. I got a funny feeling in my stomache (since i was considering growing my hair out)

And took some things into consideration: A: my hair has this gay im going to flip to the opposite direction thing, so trying to style my hair with that cut would have been murder.

And: If I were to grow it out from that length it'd take forever (right now it touches my shoulders -- my hair)

So I told my mom, "Mom don't get mad (shes upper sensitive lately! Geez..) at me, but I don't want a bob."

then she FLIPPED out! I MEAN FLIPPED. She got all mad and said "oh my fucking god. I need a break, I need a walk. Im taking a walk." And just left me there in walmart for 43 MINUTES!


I was pretty pissed. but WAIT! it gets worse!....She comes back with that magazine in hand, and buys it!

I was like "Why is she buying it? Is she going to tell the haircuters I want a bob?!"


But I didnt want to expect the worse, so I waited. Then we arrived at Great Clips, and she told them that. I was SHOCKED. She didn't respect my descision (Im 16, mom. ) and went and told them THAT! The stylist said, "Well we have it written down last time that she wanted to grow her hair out- *gives a look at me* are you sure you want to do that?" Before I could even answer, my mom answered for me.

As soon as I was seated down, since I have really pale skin, its more noticable when i get upset (I turn really red) And I was getting red in the face (I was scared and upset) And the hair stylist noticed and said, "You don't want a bob, do you?" I said "No, i really don't..." So she went to ask my mom if she could just trim the dead ends,

and my mom yelled at me, "MELISSA MISION. Either you get a BOB or you get NO HAIRCUT. Do you UNDERSTAND?!"

I understood, mom. I decieded to not get one. Dads taking me out to get a haircut, later today.

And you know what? No wonder why i was so upset about this. I've NEVER told the hairstylist what I want to do with my hair- my moms always told them (I really had no clue what I wanted with my own hair.)


So, for once- when I made a descision about my hair, and mom rejected it- I was, and still am really upset.




I'm always the one saying "I'm sorry" to mom when we fight. Not this time. For once, i'd like to her a "I'm sorry" from her. And whenever I do apologize to her, i always get the "No you're not. This family doesn't know what sorry means." Shit.

I'm going to give her a taste of her own medicine. Im really angry. I'm not going to talk to her until I get an apology.

Anyway, back to ranting.
After we were done there we got in the car, and I listened to her bitch fest. Suprisingly though, I wasn't upset (crying whise) all I could think about was how proud I was to have made my own descision, and have stood my ground.)

I listened to her yell, yell, yell, moan, and yell some more at me. She even said that when i go to college, thats it. She doesn't want to see me in her house again, she doesn't want me to call her, she doesn't want me to go over their house to do laundey, nothing. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Thats fine.

The college I really want to go to, is in Georgia, which is over 18 hours away from home. I can't afford to go there though, so i'll probably end up going to Ringling, which is 2 hours away from home.



Fine by me. Though I was a little suprised. It wasn't the first time i've heard her bitch and moan about college and her not wanting to see me anymore.

She's done the same thing to Sierra. Thoughhh, Sierra (my sister) got to listen to her at the end of Junior year about it I just got it a little earlier.

I don't even see why she freaked out. Its not like I told her I fucking hated the idea of a bob, omfg, how could you even suggust that mom, omfg you have no taste, omfg; or something! I was calm, and rational!

Anyway, this was on sunday. I still havent talked to her. Don't plan to either. Shes not a queen, she can apologize to me for once.
I'm really fed up with her bratty and immature attitude. She really shouldn't be a mom. She just doesn't seem mature enough. All she does, ever since Sierras entered high school, is bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.

And you know- on friday we went to go visit Ringling College of art and design (we didnt get to see much, cause we could take a tour because they were closed, but we went around campus. Its a great school, btw) and she surely enough bitched.


It gets better though. On saturday, we went to see fireworks, and it was too hot out for her. So she got bitchy and wanted to go-- what ever.

Whatever, I don't have the energy or patience to even start to tell that story.


Anyway, today after dad gets home from work I'm off to get my hair trimmed.
I'm super nervous, and anxious, because Mom caused a little scene (as explained earlier she raised her voice) in the store, Sierra and Dad don't want to go there when i get my hair cut, so we're going to Fantastic Sams instead.


Why do I have to go to another hair stylist because of my moms actions? I'm really nervous because ever since before Freshman homecoming, i've been going to this same place.

I'm worried fantastic sams is going to cut off an inch or something of my hair. I don't want that. The faster my hair grows out, the happier I am.

But, if cutting off all of the dead ends makes it grow faster.... -sighs-

Im so nervous. I don't wanna go to another place. Im not in my safety net anymore.



it probably doesn't help that I'm getting my period sometime soon, does it.

Ugh.

don't worry about fantastic sams. last time i went my dead ends were 6 freakin inches long, and even after they cut that much off, the hair grew back in no time.

dear Melissa,i'm so sorry to hear you had all these troubles =(
i would like to say "cheer up,don't think about it" because i'm sorry if you feel this way,but-oh my-i really can't blame you...what you described is,i must say,kinda scary °w°
i was surprised when you told me something in the reply,now i really don't know what you think-i don't understand what happened...what i can't really understand is why she got mad in that way D=
now,maybe i'm not partial because i'm a friend of yours and because i really don't like bob haircuts either,but you do well deciding how you want to cut/fix your hair by yourself.as you said,you're mature enough to decide by your own.
and i also think you've been so good and gentle.i wouldn't be so kind if my mom started acting like this...maybe i'm quite mean-but i get hysterical when someone says what i have to do =/
i don't know how things are going at your home and i don't know your mother either,but as you said some time ago she seems really,really stressed.i may think that maybe she doesn't even understand that she's acting in that way. my mom had a similar period too,she started tell me some terrible things (uhuh,now you can wait for a ranting mail from me XD)...then one day i exploded and told her she was exaggerating because she was really nervous,and she was hurting me.then it seems she calmed down. that's why i think that maybe your mum is having a bad period,and she doesn't recognize she's hurting you.
another thing i've thought is that maybe she's understanding you're growing up-and she's kinda afraid of this-and wants to decide things for you,treating you as her little child.this may happen i parents, i think.but again,i'm not sure because i don't know your situation.

i agree with you about being angry and about the fact you won't apologize...afterall,i think that parents should encourage their children to make their own decisions,not doing the opposite-especially when children are becoming adults.
i would suggest you to try to talk with her...and make her understand...
i'm quite afraid of suggesting you to do so,because i don't know how she would react,but i think it's the best solution to make her understand she's hurting you,and that you're growing.
also,if i kinda approve to go to the haircuters with your father (XD),i also think that this would make her angry too.
i must say it,i loooove silent revenges,but i'm afraid this could make things go worse and worse = O so be careful,Melissa:cuddle:

i cheer for you,you know:love: if you need to rant more,if you need some help contact me with an e-mail or something,i would be happy to listen to you =3 :glomp:

oh,and i didn't know that cutting the dead ends hair grow faster:XD: surely they're less ruined = O but i think that the diet also influences the hair growth =3
once i didn't cut my dead ends for more than 2 years XDDDD but i'm quite luckly,my hair grow a cm every month =3
so,how you want you hair to be?:love: i'm letting them grow too you know?:love:

ooooook,this is the longer comment ever written 8D

Aww I'm sorry this is happening :( That's really unfair of her to go crazy on you like that over something so small, too. Is she maybe on her period or something?

You need a big hug :hug: Usually when kids talk back to their parents they're bad but this is very different, you simply didn't want that haircut so she is definitely wrong for going off on you like that.
Maybe you can try to just sit down and talk to her about it? I don't know how well it will go since she keeps going off like this, but try to explain it to her maybe? >.<;;

I hope things get better, and if you need to talk more, you know how to contact me :heart:

:( well, stand your ground and stuff, hope that FS doesn't ruin your hair. You are very brave. I sometimes try to say things calmly to my parents and they yell at me, but I usually freak out and yell, then get grounded. Make sure not to yell at your mom, sounds like you're doing much better than I could though, good job! (Gosh, I don't usually have such long comments, but I really feel for ya here. It's hard, and parents are spazzes sometimes.)
