It sounds like she's talking about how fast the novelty wears off something new and fun. From a mom's point of view, I can say this is absolutely a true statement. When you buy a child a new toy for example, they want to play with it night and day a first. They more you allow them to play with it, the faster the novelty wears off. This is also true with new friends, new activities, etc. My husban calls it "Wearing the goody off" or "Wearing the new off."\n\nWhy? It seems pretty obvious why it happens. The more they play with something, the less interesting it becomes, and the less they want to play with it.

I am going to assume that you are a teen still living with your mom.  \n\nThe sooner you tell her, the better!  Be sure that you go in to this conversation without an attitude, and do NOT fight with her.  Apologize for dissapointing her and tell her that you will do your best to make it as right as possible!  \n\nI wish you the best!

Girl do not loose your self in propaganda I have waisted years of being too into my self. Go to counseling and listen to your mom in years to come you will wish you had. Beauty fades education remains.

You haven't given us enough inforamtion to be as helpful as we might be otherwise.  The answer depends on how old you are and what it is your mom is doing that is annoying you.  Is it that you are doing something she doesn't agree with and trying to stop you and so you are annoyed?  Is your mom extra stressed or tired right now?\n\nI agree with other posters.  YOu need to think about what you are doing too.  Moms don't usually change and become  annoying for no reason.  Talk to your mom and see what the problem is.\n\nYOu will only ever have one mom and she won't be around forever, and someday you may look back and wish you had been more understanding.

My mother is one of the smartest, wisest and rational people I know. The times I did NOT take her advice are the times I regret. She is a wonderful resource for information because she loves me and has my best interest at heart. If I fail, she fails. If I succeed, she succeeds. I may still bolster her advice with that of an expert in whatever field we're talking, but mom never claimed to be an expert at anything except caring about me. Sometimes, that's enough.

This is worn-out female hoo-haw that never ends.  My wife is 54 and she is still telling me that I only want one thing.  This is totally not true but she uses it a club and beats me over the head with it. When you are 50 you will still be saying the same thing, and I am programming you now to remember this when you do.

First off, write from your heart.  Secondly, try giving her the snippets of wisdom that you've learned through your personal experience.  It would also be good to tell her that as you (as in, YOU) are growing older, you are learning more and more everyday so that she can relate to you instead of viewing you as someone proselytizing or just giving a sermon.

Talk to her...first you need to be honest with yourself if you your usually a bad kid, acknowledge that and tell her how much it hurts you to see you dissapoint her and therefore want help to change. If your whine alot and complain about the world, and claim everything is everyone else fault (which if you are your probably like nope...not me =)) lol, but if she says you are talk to her about the future and how you're maturing and realized that you have to take control and except responsibilities. If your a pretty decent kid though but I guess she doesn't like your BF I honestly think you should listen to her reasons why whether you think she "knows him", if thier superficial reasons like he's not your race or too poor or some bull like that then your mom's an @-- (sry to say) but therefore has no more credibilty on her opinions of people. If it's because your BF is too old, a dog, something like that, your mom has wisdom and experience and trust me she IS right. I don't really know what you n your mom's problem is so I tried touching on random things, hopefully some of thoserandom thing's hit you and it helped, thanks and I hope you and your mom works things out, a girl no matter how old, can never live without her mother =)

My mother.  She is 71 years young and still works 16 hours a day at a real job.  She is a private duty with "old" people.  Her words not mine.

If your mother will not let you go out, that is a fine answer to give. It is the truth. And to tell you the truth, I also think that 13 is too young.

She likes hers Ebonics.  Word to your mother, What?

yeah sure it looks that way. just don't jump the gun and get mad at your mom. this could all be unavoidable. just tell her you really want to come up and for her to not make any plans to prevent your visit. If she still continues to have excuses...i dunno, try talking to your dad about it. maybe he'll talk to your mom about the way it's affecting you.

She is entirely too young to be doing this.  Is she sickly?  My mom is going to be 60 this fall and she works 2 jobs and is a totally vital healthy woman.  I just turned 40 and we both work at the same Mental Retardation Facility as RNs.  I have the utmost respect for her skills as an RN and she is as sharp as a tack.\n\nPerhaps she needs to get a boot in the bottom to get her to see that she is not living, but merely existing.  \n\nIf she complains about the food, say "You have a kitchen in your apartment, go find something to eat if this doesn't suit you.  Otherwise, please be quiet about it."

Gee, my mom is 80 or so, and I have similar problems. The only thing that has helped me is reading the Crankshaft Cartoon in the newspaper. Seeing that the problem is not unique to my circumstance has enabled me to find some humor in it. \n\nI think perhaps we can learnhow to be patient and not become hateful or angry by having to deal with these situations. I purpose in my heart not to expect my mom to do what I consider logical, or best for her, and condition myself to drop down into the "peace that passes understanding" whenever she refuses to keep track of her holdings. Sometimes it doesn't work, but I am worse off when I allow myself to get upset. \n\nI have started to clean up my own affairs so that I don't do this to my own son as I age. Why, just a few weeks ago, I actually gave away 4 books! (lol) It seems really difficult to fight the process of becoming my mom.

This morning with my 16-year-old daughter. She made the mistake of asking why she had to listen to me, anyway?\n\nI pointed out that since I pay for everything from the clothes on her back to the food that she eats to the $150 soccer cleats I just bought her that she HAD to have -- then she has to listen to me. \n\nI also pointed out that since I still have the receipt for those yet unworn cleats, I would have no problem bringing them back if she didn't smarten up and act like the mature human being she keeps telling me she is.\n\nShe decided to smarten up.
