I already posted that she won't let me get a part-time job. She said that I could get one over the summer, but out summers are always so busy that I can't and she definitely won't let me work during the school week. I have at least 5 hours of homework a night and I'll have the stress of college applications. I begged her for a job, but she said it would be too much.

And I do give back to my mother every chance I get. Whenever we go out for dinner I pay. I buy clothes for her. I've tried helping her clean her room, but I'm not much of a cleaning myself.

And one more thing, I don't depend on any man for what I want just because I depend on my mother. That's a horrible assumption.

I can see I made myself sound like a little brat. Not the way I wanted to go about it.
