Question - (26 November 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 28 November 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *ah mouw writes:

I have a lot of different groups of friends. But, there's one group (my boy and his family) that my mom doesn't really like, because of where they come from and the things shes heard them say (which is really no different from any other obscene stuff you'd hear any teenagers say when they're together). My mom says she doesn't approve of these guys but she hasn't really given me a reason why.

I wanna let her know that these guys aren't bad people. They're really out spoken and kinda crazy haha. but they're some of the sweetest people and they love when im around and I love being around them. I feel like my mom thinks I'm doing something sneaky when Im with them. But when i hang out with them its no different then what i'd be doing with any of my other friends. We chill, we go to the movies, go to the mall. Nothing out of the ordinary. But how to i get that across to my mom. she wont even let me use her car now. I just want her to trust me. She knows I smoke weed... and knows I'm sexually active.. and she doesn't care. So... i dont understand.. can someone help me out here.

You're 18, she can "disapprove", but that's just an expression of her position, not a mandate that you (and adult) have to do anything. She simply shared her emotional state, you do NOT have to DO anything about it... it's NOT your job!
