So my mom has been shopping me for me since I was 12..I’m 17 now and I have told her to stop. She comes home with bags of clothes that she picked out. Yes it’s very nice of her but we do NOT like the same things. Honestly I don’t need my mom shopping for me..I have told her this multiple times. She came home today with bags of clothes for me..none of it was stuff I would wear. I told her I was donating it to people who would need it and she went off and called me ungrateful.
Am I in the wrong..or is my my mom?

Atleast your lucky your mom goes shopping for you 🙂
but anyways whenever she goes shopping go with her or if she’s planning to go tell not to buy you anything, say like my wardrobe is full or make an excuse
Tell her I don’t like the clothes you choose for me its not really my style.
(just don’t hurt her feelings lol ).
Best of luck!

I Know How You Feel !!
Ok Just Tell Your Mom That She Is Just Wasting Money By Buying Clothes That You Don’t And Never Wear !! That Might Work !
Or Ask Her If You Could Go Shopping With Her And Show Her What Kind Of Clothes You LIke And Maybe She’ll Understand And Get You Clothes That Are Your Style !

I don’t think either of you are wrong. You are growing up and are begining to be more independent, as you should be. She sees that and wants to still be close to you and she probably thinks this is a way to be. I think you should tell her that you appreciate her and that next time she feels like going shopping for you that you should go with her and have some girl time! That way you get the stuff you like and she gets the one on one time she misses. Maybe you can talk her into a mani/pedi. Always a great way to relax and visit. Good luck!

Honey, can I let you in on a little secret? Mom is finding it hard to accept that her “baby” is growing up and will soon be leaving home, not needing her anymore. Take it from a mom, it’s practically a tradition!
Instead of a comeback, just take the clothes back to wherever she bought them and exchange them. OR you could take them back, get the money and buy something for mom to show her you truly ARE a grateful daughter.
Well, you could tell her to cut back on her shopping. Tell her you’re good on the clothes and items deal. Don’t be rude, but tell her not to buy so much for you. Your mother is loving and caring, and she just thinks of you. Which is good, but I do agree that she is a little overflowing with the shopping. Tell her that money could be used to buy food and pay the bills, rather than buy things that some people around the world don’t have.
Good luck with it!

No. It makes perfect sense that you wish to pick out your own clothes instead of your mom. Teens like to express themselves with their own style.
If your mom won’t stop shopping for you then next time try going shopping with her instead. You both can choose your clothes together.
How about you go with her next time and pick out the stuff you like then show it to her so it feels like she’s helping. My Mom’s the same way. She hates my distressed style clothes and tries to get me to wear babydoll tops…I’m 19 lol. But yea have her go with you because I did this with my Mom and it made her feel important too.
Bring her shopping and show her the things that you like so that she can realize you two have different tastes! She probably thinks you still like those clothes! If she doesn’t listen, go buy her some clothes that you like and give them to her. Repeat the process until she gets sick of you giving her clothes she doesn’t like and threatens to give them away like you. Then return them and ask her if she figured out how you felt.
*good luck*
No one is wrong it just looks like she either likes to shop for you or just plainly shop when she gives you clothes really nicely and calmly say mom, I don’t like the clothes that you buy me and very nicely say stop buying them for me abs if you keep buying them for me then won’t take them or wear them
neither of you are wrong, your mom just cares and maybe she hasn’t come to terms with her little girl being an adult.
but none of us want to wear clothes that we don’t feel confident in.
do you know someone your moms age who your mom respects the opinion of, perhaps if she hears it from someone other than you it might make sense to her.
if that doesn’t work you could try not wearing the clothes, but don’t give them away or throw them away, that’s not the way to get the message through to her.
