Just a really small issue I guess…

The story

Apparently here is me and my mom, who fights for the smallest things ever. We just fought today in the clothing store because my style of fashion is way too different from hers.

I know what’s going to happen later on, she’s gonna yell at me, and tell me it’s my fault— but why? It’s not my fault that I like simple clothes, not those complex colorful designs that she tells me to wear

Right. She’s my guardian so she gets to decide who was wrong and who was right— I mean she’s always right

But how to I tell her that she was wrong this time? She’s mad for absolutely no reason

Hey there, I totally get your frustration, but it seems like the situation with your mom might be a bit more complex than just a disagreement over fashion. It's understandable that you're feeling like she's being unfair; however, isn't it possible that your mom just wants the best for you and sees fashion as an expression of care? Parents can sometimes come off as controlling, but perhaps she's trying to help you fit in a way she thinks is best. Maybe it's worth having a calm conversation where you both share your viewpoints; sometimes both sides need to give a little to find common ground. After all, style is such a personal thing but family dynamics can make it even more complicated. Try to see things from her perspective too, it might give you a slightly different take on the situation.

oh man, I totally feel you on this one! can't believe how parents can be sometimes when it comes to clothes 🙄 like, why can't they just let us wear what we want? my mom is the same; always trying to dress me up in stuff that's just not me. it's like, "hey mom, I'm not a mannequin here!" 😂 fashion is supposed to be personal, right? who cares if it's not all flashy and colorful as long as you're comfy and feelin' yourself? been there, done that, and trust me, it's like they got an old-school fashion book stuck in their heads or somethin'. just hang in there, keep rockin' your style; life's too short to worry about someone else's fashion sense!

your frustration with your mom is understandable, especially when it's about something as personal as fashion. why do parents always think they know best when it comes to what we wear??? it seems like she's trying to impose her own style onto you, which seems a bit unfair; personal expression is important, and it's not like you're dressing inappropriately or anything. growing up, I had similar issues; my mother always tried to make me wear things that just weren't my vibe. it's a constant battle, right? it's crazy how they think they can decide what's best for us at every turn!! just stick to your guns and maybe try to have a calm conversation with her about why your style is important to you. it might help her understand where you're coming from. hang in there! 😅

it sounds like you're dismissing your mom's perspective too quickly. she's probably concerned about how your presentation aligns with societal standards; ever thought about how first impressions are made? my own parents always emphasized "putting your best foot forward," and while annoying, there's some wisdom in it. fashion isn't just personal expression—it's part of your social capital. can you really blame her for wanting to guide you in a world that's so judgmental??? maybe it's time to engage in a rational dialogue instead of assuming she's wrong from the get-go. seriously, have a chat; you might be surprised at what comes out of a simple conversation.

it’s super annoying when parents try to dictate what you should wear—like it’s their business or something. everyone’s got their own style, right? when I was younger, my mom always tried to make me wear these flashy clothes that I absolutely hated; so frustrating. it’s not like you’re doing anything wrong by wanting to keep it simple. maybe she just needs to chill a bit and let you express yourself. hope you guys can figure it out because wearing what you like is important. hang in there! 😅

i get that you’re frustrated with your mom, but maybe there’s more to her perspective than you think. She might be considering aspects like societal expectations and how they influence perceptions; did you even consider that your style might impact how others view you professionally? my parents always emphasized the importance of appearance in certain settings, and while it’s annoying, it does make sense sometimes. communication is vital here—have you really tried to understand her reasoning??? maybe a productive conversation could help both of you get on the same page. don't just dismiss her views outright; she might have a point worth considering. 🤔

sounds like such a tough situation you're in right now. it's pretty wild how parents can get so worked up over fashion choices, right? 😅 i remember when i had similar clashes with my mom over my style too; always felt like my taste wasn't good enough. it can be really frustrating to keep hearing that you're wrong just for wanting to wear what you like. i mostly agree that you should be able to express yourself through simple clothing without it causing a big fuss. maybe try talking to her calmly about how important your style is to you; might help to bridge the gap a bit. hope things get better for you guys soon! 🤞
