Ok here’s the thing, over the weekend my mom, dad, brother and I were visiting family friends we have known for years, OH was working :(, mom and dad stayed at the one house the, mom and dad of the family, and me and my brother stayed at another house, the daughters house. so after all shopping together off we went to the separate houses for the evening, my friends other half and my brother decided to go out to the pub then onto a few clubs in the city - which was great, TV & pizza for us girlies! about 11 at night just as we were getting ourselves sorted to go to bed i got a call from my brother saying he had lost my friends oh and to text him his number, so did that, my friend then called her oh to make sure they had found each other (my brothers only just turned 18 and had no clue where he was!) her oh was sooo vile to her scream shouting swearing at her for "checking up on him" she was reduced to tears and in the end it all came out that he does this every weekend when he goes out drinking with his mates!

After treating her like that he then text her and said that he weren’t coming home that night and that he was going to stay on a mates sofa, now i was worried about my brother he didnt know the area and no one in the area i couldn’t get hold of him so i ended up texting him saying this is the address and ill leave £20 on the sofa for you if you need to get a taxi home.

So after not being able to get to sleep cuz my mates in bits crying her eyes out and im worried about where the hell my brother is going to sleep that night! half 5 in the morning they both come crashing through the front door, pissed as farts telling us about this fantastic strip club they have been at all night!

we took ourselves off to one of the bedrooms while the lads finally fell asleep on the sofa, we got dressed and sorted and took ourselves off to maccy d's cuz to be honest i couldn’t stand to be near either of them i was tired, grumpy and hormonal and to be honest wanted to punch both of them!!

Anyway my friend got a few texts while we were in maccy d's asking where she was and she decided she need to go back to talk to him so i said me and my brother will go to the little cafe near there flat to get out the way, cuz due to someone’s idea i had no car as we all came up in just the one car to save petrol! so we were a bit stuck, the parents were out somewhere having breakfast!

02 hours and about 6 cups of tea later i get a message saying we can go back up and that they have made up, ok so I am still really pissed off with the lads anyway after having no sleep and her oh still acting like a complete knob!

We get back to the flat and I ask if we can get going to meet up with the parents cuz we need to be getting back soon, so the boys decided to start play on the bloody playstation!!!

So I sat there for another hour mentioning a few times we needed to make a move and eventually completely lost my temper and walked out the flat, I thought walking out the flat rather than causing a huge argument and possible causing more issues between my friend and her oh was a better idea!

I had a rough Idea where I was so got on my phone out and found some buses to get me to meet up with the parents, I text my friend saying I’m walking into town to get a bus to meet up with everyone needed some time for myself and ill see them there! Put my phone in my pocket and off I went, I got into town pulled my phone out of my pocket had a bout 16 missed call and 12 text asking were I was what I’m doing ect from my dad and mate!!!

Called my dad to explain what had happened my mom answered having a massive go at me saying I’ve wondered off with out telling anyone where I was I got everyone worried and looking for me, I must admit I was slightly shocked, I’m in my mid twenties I have a house, a baby on the way, a hugely responsible job – where peoples lives sometime depend on me and I’m getting told off like a 5 year old for wondering off!!

I was absolutely fuming by the end my mom and I had a massive argument going along the lines of that im quite capable of looking after myself, I told my mate where I was and what I was doing and I’m not the empty headed 5 year old she seems to think I am!! I understand people may be a little bit more worried about me being 6 months pregnant but I’m pregnant not a idiot!

So mom and I aren’t talking at all at the minute she wont even answer my calls, my dad has said she if really angry with me for what I said to her, my oh and dad see where I am coming from and completely back me up but I just don’t think I acted wrongly! I don’t knowhow the hell I’m going to make my mom either see sense or just talk to me !!

Sorry for the long post but must admit feel a bit better for the rant! If you have any advise it would be great cuz I’m really at a loss at what to do! :p
 
I think you just need to let your mom, (and yourself) cool off a bit. She was simply concerned and you were ticked off after all the drama so things probably came out the complete wrong way. No one needs to be right and no one needs to be wrong here.
Just take a deep breathe and remember that there are more important things to worry about, like you and bab being healthy.

All those people love you. Thats the great thing about family; we love them but we don't always have to like them :)
 
I second the above post! No right and wrongs, you were already very wound up and angry at the night before and morning so anything you may have said would have probably had a tone to it due to other issues, once your mum cools off I'm sure you'll both be fine!!

You sound like a reasonable, intelligent, well-spoken, independent woman. It's a shame that in this day and age women like you still get treated like children by the others around them. I think you are in the right about everything. You had a right to be upset with the lads and leave (I know I would have) and your family overreacted about you leaving on your own. Moms can be so unreasonable sometimes and treat us like little children. I'm 30 and still get told what to do with my mom on the phone and we end up fighting when she gets like that. Basically I told her that I'm going to be a mother now so it's time to stop treating me like I'm a stupid baby.

Give your mom some time. She will cool off, then explain to her your side calmly again. Hopefully she'll understand your point of view. Best of luck!
