Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay so what do you do when you have a ******** b***h for a mother?

Today's conversation:
Mom: Hmn, you know you should go to Prom with David, it's great he's gay and you're gay!
Me: (thinking: Hmn, counter-intuitive ne?) Actually I was thinking of asking someone else to prom.
Mom: No way! I'm not having HER stay at my house, I'm NOT explaining to your brother why you're not going to prom with a guy, you don't even know if you'll be together then!
Me: (Um... kinda coming up on an one year anniversary here in 32 days, Mom) That's not fair!
Mom: Did you ACTUALLY think I was going to let you? WHY?!
Me: Um... it's really important to me
Mom: So?

January 29th

Last night my family was eating out and I was, as usual, STILL pissed about my mom's inanity... is that a word? It should be. I mean my girlfriend and I are totally serious about each other, we barely get to see each other, let alone spend any time ALONE.

Now, I knew I had to renew my efforts when I found out WHERE prom was gonna be held. Tavern on the Green, New York City, Central Park... how ******** awesome is that?! I know I am going to go but I need to talk some sense into my parents. And it's sucking wind because all my friends are talking about getting prom dresses and stuff and my parents tell me to stop being so dramatic when I cry.

So yeah, my parents asked me who I know was going to Winter Ball at my school and I told them a bunch of people were going but I HATE school functions. Hate them. And I always get sick at them for some reason. So then they were all "Well you ARE going to prom right?" and I said yes. And my dad asked who I was going with, I didn't reply since I'm not supposed to around my brother. And my mom answered for me and said "Friends." I said "Uh-huh.. yeah...sure...right...friends..." and glared at her. Then my mom made some sorta snotty remark to my dad in which she implied my girlfriend and then they just bombarded me with "No"s... I don't get it... and I'm starting to cry again,

This may be not too nice, but exacly what can she do to stop you? confused

Well, then we use counter methods. This is what you do. You talk to David, call him up CRYING. Especially if he's an uber sensative guy. Cry the whole time you're explaining this situation to him, even blow your nose for effect. Then, if he's sensative ((as a lot of gay guys can be because they're kinda like women in some respects)), he'll go to your Mom and say that he can't go becuase he doesn't want to ruin your night or something like that.

Then we have plan b. You walk up to your Mom and put it simply. Tell her "Look. You won't let her stay here, fine. I will find a place with a friend, and you won't share in my funtastic prom evening. Sign the permission slip and get the hell out of my life. This isn't about you, IT'S ABOUT ME! If you've got a problem with that, you can talk to my guidance councelor."

Now, prior to this, find a friend who will let you stay with them, and explain to a guidance councelor that you fell your Mom is being wicked unfair and you'd appriciate it if (s)he would chat with her if you can't convince her. If you cover all these bases, then plan b just might work. As for the slip, then just forge, or write David's name in pencil, erase, and change it. Sneaky sneaky.

If none of the above work, then tell your Mom to kiss your a**, you'll just go to your girlfriend's prom and not your own. And once again, make her feel guilty and excluded. If your Mom is the kind of mother I think she is, she'll HATE to be left out of this "most godly important night" of your life. And I'll keep thinking of more ideas as the day goes by if those won't work. xd

May I worship you now?

I tried very hard not to stereotype!!! Honestly I did. But it's very hard to say that without doing so. Sorry!!!

Hmn, well my massive blob of friends and I were thinking about doing a prom-alternate! XD which would automatically solve my problem but it's the principle of it, not the prom itself.

You know, out of a school as big as mine where there ought to be 130 gay kids... there are 3 out kids... that was random... but it had been in the same conversation...

anyways... grrrr... notice a recurring theme in my life?

I only knew 3 out people in my school as well. One was a friend of mine who came out to me by telling me about problems she was having her girlfriend, who happened to be in our art class. So her girlfriend counts as one. Then there was a guy who graduated with me who was gay. Poor guy got picked on alot.

I was thinking about the Prom alternate thing earlier too after I was thinking about this a while. It sounds like a good idea as well. Probably would be easier. And I hate to say this Tulip, but your mom sounds like a b***h. I respect you greatly for coming out to them and putting up with your parents s**t. Especailly what you said they did to you on Thanksgiving. Bahh.

>< I really hate your mom sometimes.
