I don't know if I'm the only girl experiencing this in her home. I live with my mom and three siblings. From the onset we have been living very fine with everything around no matter the situation. But all of a sudden my mom just joined this new ministry church (name withheld) but it's not a deeper life ministry. It's becoming an addiction. We had to join the new church too for peace sake but me and my siblings are not quite okay with it and we r trying to be. In this ministry they preach more of salvation and I like it because it has kind of helped. But the problem is my mom now, her addiction is beginning to drive me nut. She just woke up one morning and said no more trousers for the girls, no more make-ups, no more jewelleries, no more shorts or short skirts, no boyfriends and gfriends.. Jeez and I was dumb founded like WTF has come over her. We don't dress indecently, we dress okay and we are okay with it. She had mistakes in her past doesn't mean she has the right to control my life and tell me what and what not to do. These days cartoon network is demonic to her, each time she comes bck home and sees any form of animation on TV she starts yelling at the person that put the channel like the devil is going to come out of the TV and initiate her. OMG, the other day in family prayer was like hell in a cell, she kept on mentioning abt the girls and trousers and all that. I love to be myself and do what makes me and my family happy but this one is getting out of hand and it's beginning to put fear in my body like I'm a bad child and like I'm the biggest sinner in the world. Sometimes I wish I'm not living under the same roof with her and get my own apartment or go live with bf which I know is not an option till I'm married. I just don't know what to do because she doesn't want to hear any body's opinion in the house again rather than hers or the church. It's very annoying. I need help on this matter. Trouser, skirts, make-ups, jewels and every other fancy things has been part of me since birth. I'm 21 and I need help from matured people here. Thanks

Your mum is trying to force her religion on you all. May be, she has forgotten that you are old enough to take decision.
If you are already working, go and rent a room and be living there, till you are married, she is not likely to change, and if not, dance to her tune until you are married, when you are married, she will not be able to control you....... But, pls, dont be rude to her, dont dishonour her, lest you bring curse on yourself, just take your decision and inform her respectfully.
May God help you.

You are still under her roof, so you cant do much'

I will suggest, put all your jewels, make up etc in your bag when leaving the house, tie wrapper on top your trousers or mini skirts,fold the trouser very well. Then when you are out of the house, hide the wrapper somewhere you can get it when you return.

Hope she doesnt catch you! Goodluck!

Most of the time if someone has a bad past or if they just started knowing about religion after being away for a long time they start acting crazy like that and piss me off. I wish people could just understand that just because you met God yesterday and started getting all excited about it , it does not mean the rest of us are devils. We also know the lord but dont force religion on anyone's through. Just because i dont make noise about my religion, it does not mean i am not a christian. Tell your mom how you feel or move out

Some times I wonder if I'm in the right home. Because I cannot drink water and drop my cup. I am trying my best. I'll be done with school this year by God's grace and I'm thinking of renting an apartment when I'll start my service.

I don't think u shd go live on ur own neither wld I advice u move in with ur bf until he's put a ring on it.

She is ur mum n I know they can drive us crazy... My mum almost did too but if u can, try to talk things thru with her. If there's an elderly perSon she respects, get d person to speak on ur behalf.

If u have tr

If u have tried these n they don't work, try to let her have her way... It is temporary...try to c it as a form of prayer cos u wld be sacrificing ur comfort for hers...which is what love is all abt. It will be difficult bt she is ur mum.

Religion can't be forced down our throats esp if we have alw lived a certain way but also remember that she is doing it 4 ur 'good'. Doesn't mk much sense I know but that's hw she understands it.

@Vikin, lol I can't imagine myself doing that. It's just acting a movie. But thanks

@mademoiselle, thanks. I'm just going to be myself at all times.
