I'm a student, my schedule is really hectic. It's like i'll leave the house at 9am then go home round 9 pm. It's very tiring but i'm used to it. The problem is my mother don't understand why i came late. I try to tell her that it is my schedule but sometimes, she saying something bad to me like i go home late because of boy friends and something like that. I'm tired of it. I can't concentrate on my studies either, I try to tell it to my father but he said i should understand my mom. Well yeah of course i'll do that but until when? Maybe she's just getting old and it's one of a sign. So even i have an early dismissal i prefer to come home late. So i can just eat my dinner and sleep, i don't want to talk to her then. Well whatever, my mom is cool anyway in something but sometimes she's becoming. I don't know.
How to deal with that huh?

I hear you. I'm a student like you and I go to school by 7:30 am and my last class should end by 9pm...everyday(imagine how sad it is) Like you my parents are getting on my nerves but not because of the going home late issue(I'm too old for that and also too old for being a student) They don't give me my allowance and my savings is the only thing that's keeping me afloat. What's worst is that I can't be a working student because of my freaking schedule. At home they blame me for every bad luck that happens in the family

Ya, I was starting to think I'm the only one who gets to hear mom's sweet scoldings! I used to come late too after college but I had it sorted out with my dad, so mom would always shout at me, but I never replied back. I would just say that it wouldnt happen again and gave her a hug when she would calm down to bring that sweet magical smile. I love my Mom & Dad!
So the secret is, come early for about a week or so, and let her know that you're trying to do your best to come early and you can skip coming early a few days.

Your mom loves you very much and is just concern about you. You need to take the time to show her your schedule and tell her that because of all your classes you can not get home before 9pm. If she knows the reason you are getting home late she will not be worrying so much.

I understand that schedules can be very demanding while in school. I pulled 12-14 hour days sometimes, and I often just wanted to go home and crash on my bed because I was so exhausted. I would sit down and talk to her about the situation. Outline what you have going on and when, that way she says that you truly are busy during those times. Let her know that you are focused on your studies and that she is causing you stress by nagging at you. Be sure to approach her in a way that won't make her upset or mad. Just stay calm and open up to her about your schedule... she'll appreciate the gesture. I'm sure just misses having you around.

I think most of the mom is just like that and i think they just want to take care of you when you are going home. I'm also a student but i'm already married and my husband is the one that support my schooling so every time that I go home late also because of hectic schedule in school he also telling me that maybe i have another guy so i go home late but after he said to me that i always explain to him what we are doing in school and the reason why i go home late because of it.

My friends that's normal for a mother who really cares and loves you. All you can do is to understand her and put yourself into herself why she is behaving like that.
I guess she is discomfort of worrying what might happen to you. Have your realized that maybe every night she feels uneasy of not seeing you coming safe at home.
I know all the time she is thinking of you, she can't afford to imagine what bad things might happen unto you.

well looks like you and your mom both are a little stubborn lol, i am sorry to say that but it's true to some extent(well you much more actually okay? :D), you have to know your mom cares for you, and you are doing more harm than good coming home late on purpose, your mom is like she trusts you but she is anxious for you to say it from your own mouth, i mean it is not that she thinks that you were with your boy friends it is just that she doesn't understand why your schedule is so late, and she actually wants to get convinced it is just your schedule and wants to hear it from your mouth, but you get 'huh' types and purposely come late to make her feel more anxious and worried, you probably don't hang around with your friends and it is just the schedule so please don't act like that and someday take your mom and do show her your genuine reason that is your schedule, once you show her and convince her i think she will not remark about your late coming from then.. but you need to work it out yourself too i mean try to show her that, i am guessing it is a hard thing for you to do that now .. oh sure it would have been for me too don't you worry... try it okay?

hi belle!..your dad is right...just extend you understanding, like most mom they are concern with their kids especially if they are not around in their sight when night falls, my best advise for you is show your mom your paper in school indicating your schedules and always send a text message to your mom everytime your are on the road going home so she will not worry that much...

Maybe when your schedule frees up a bit you should try talking to your mother and clearing some things up. What have you got to lose by doing so? Nothing right? Try and see if you can make her understand your views on things. What can it hurt? It can't really. You shouldn't let your relationship with her suffer because of it if you can avoid it. You may be ending up regretting it.
