Karen,

I don't think because I said so is a valid answer to someone your age. I don't think you should hang out with someone who has a reputation for wild parties and might supply you with alcohol is a very valid reason, and it wouldn't have taken long to express it.

In the end, if you can't talk to your mom about her decisions, you don't have much of a relationship. You're going to be 18 soon, after all. Are things generally bad, or is this a one time thing?

Hi Zoe,
I basically have a good relationship with my mom. Normally I can discuss things with her. I just do not know why she will not give me a reason. I know that she is not a fan of my friends' family. They very seldom discipline except when they really do something bad, then they are spanked. My friend has told me she has only been spanked twice and that was before being a teenager. Now she is just lectured.

Hi Karen,,

I think you have a pretty good idea why your mom said no, and did not really expect her to say yes, but had your hopes. Frankly I would not have let my kids participate in a setup like this, even if I approved of the family, it just does not have a good "smell."

Obviously further explanation should have been given. But moms are fallible. I am afraid I was guilty of it a few times. Nonetheless that does not excuse your childish tantrum, which quite appropriately earned you a trip over mom's lap!

I used to tell my kids that spanking is a childish punishment and they would be too old for spankings when they quit acting like a child. Sounds like your mom and I have the same philosophy.
