I'm an 18 year old girl and my mom wants to go to a party with me?
So. I got invited to a party by a friend but my mom wants to go with me. To be honest I don't really mind that much since I'm an only child and my mom and I are really close ( My dad left us) One of my ¨best friends¨ found out about it and she started screaming at me telling me that I was crazy to do it, that everyone would make fun of me, that I'm 18 and an adult and that my relationship with my mother was not normal. Is it really wrong? I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. to be honest I don't really like parties and this is the first party in a club that I've been invited to. I'd rather stay at home and study but I already promised the guy who invited me that I would go because he's a close friend. I really love my mom. She's been there with me always. I don't really care about what people think of me but I'm afraid of what they may say to her. What should I do?!

Thats really good that your mom and you have a really close relationship and that you don't really care about what people think of you. But it's time that you need to do something alone for a chance because your first party and your mom is coming alone. That is kind of weird. Just explain to her that you want to go alone and just to be you and your friends and that the two of you can plan something another day.
Do you think that because you and your mom only have each other, that you feel obligated to include her in everything in your life? I know everyone has different relationships with their parents but, honestly, it seems a little odd to be going to a party with your mom. Your mom and you may love each other dearly, but at 18 you should be doing things on your own. If she is going with you everywhere and included in everything, you will never learn to be independent. You are an 18 year old woman and an adult, not a girl anymore. I think it would be good for you to branch out and do some things without her. Explore, test the waters, try something new. All the best to you both! :o)
Well I know your mom and you may have a really good relationship but you shouldn't take her because I think she should party with people her age. I mean if you guys party it shouldn't be at a club it should be more of a family party.I don't think she should have even suggested to you that she should go because I don't think it's right. Well if it's just you and her I guess it's alright because it can be a girls night out. However, I think your friends are right. Don't get me wrong my mom and I have a really good relationship too since it's just me and her (my dad left us too). So I think you should tell her that you want it to be just you and your friends.
