im 17 yrs old and my mom is still telling me what I can and cannot wear. Im not one of those girls who like mini skirts and shirts showing my mid-driff. I like to dress comfortable and sometimes I like to bring it up a step and look cute. But anyways my sister went shopping for me up in NY and brought back a tube top and my mom went off saying that I can't and will not wear my back out and that she's not letting me show my body parts. Mind u I have a VERY small frame. All i wanna know is when will I be old enough to wear wut I wanna wear w/o her breathing dwn my neck.

Aiight.. i know i shouldnt interfere with what mom says so imma give you to options, one from her point of veiw and one from a childs point of veiw.
Moms point of veiw: Your only 17 your not grown, even though you may think you are.. i dont care how small your frame is, all long as you stay in my house you wear what i feel is appropriate. When you get out on YOUR OWN then you can dress how you feel
Childs point of veiw: You are 17 which means by now you should know right from wrong, and know what is tasteful and what isnt. When you leave and go to school(college) there isnt to much she can say reason being is because she wont see you everyday(unless you stay at home and go to school)
My point of veiw, talk to her, find some clothes that yall can compromise on and start from there, when you turn 18 buy your own clothes, cause i know my mom has never told me what i couldnt where when i bought it with MY OWN money, not money that she has given me. i know its like that with a lot of females your age

girl your mom reminds me of my parents. Tha summer before I left for school, I bought a few halters, a short skirt, and luckily I wasn't home that summer so I wore whatever I wanted. And now that I'm back home, I still wear it sometimes. But I don't wear it as much...so when u leave for school, thaz when you can do u.

A mother is going to be a mother. That's just how it is. U just happen to get it harder when you're younger. No matter what she is going to look at u as her child and have that maternal instinct going full force. When u get out on your own, you'll have it a lil better. But pleeze don't believe that the protective vibe leaves. She'll still wanna check up on u or see u as her baby.
