advice please

i’m 17, and i’m in year 12. i have a part time job so im always working weekends and at school from monday to friday. i don’t really get a break apart from half terms. because i’m always revising or at work, i only really get to go out whenever i’m off, which is half terms so i try to go out during that period of time. my mum is complaining i’ve been going out too much over the past two weeks but in reality i only saw my best friend twice, and went out to eat with a college friend for 3 hours( over the two weeks off for easter) i just feel like she’s being unfair and everytime i do tell her, she says i’m not understanding her? am i going out too much or? i just need some help tbh
Hey, it sounds like your mum might potentially not understand your situation. Try explaining to her that half term breaks are not only there to do school work. You should not feel guilty for socialising with your friends, you deserve it! I suggest having a conversation with her, so she can see what your thoughts are. Remember to tell her that without breaks to relax and socialise, it could potentially lead to burnout in school. You’re doing the right thing, and going out 3 times in the past two weeks really isn’t a lot. :smile:

yes exactly! i’m going out again tonight around 7 to eat with my female friend and it doesn’t get too dark around then but she was about to make me cancel with my friend, however my younger brother who is 14 has been allowed out at such ridiculous times ugh. it gets really frustrating at times
