Default Could you guy's help me understand this?


Ok so you all know about my mom and how she has been with me and how things have been over the past year.
-1am curfew on occasion
-Tried to set a bedtime on me last spring
You guys know...

So tonight/last night...its 5am so whatever you want to call it...

I had been hanging out all day with my friend. She and I went out to eat, went shopping, my mom gave me $60 in cash to buy clothes WOAH and then we had my friend over for dinner, a late dinner at that, we didn't eat till 9pm.
I got a text at dinner and it was my friend wanting me to come to his CD release.

Here's where I get confused...
I was able to leave at almost 11pm to go do something. My mom actually said, "Have fun and tell him( my friend with the release) hi for me."
She texted me at 1:13am "What time will you be home?"
I replied, "What time do you want me to be home?"
She answered, "Be careful, be good, and enjoy your company with ****."
WOAH again..
I said "Ok".
She said next, "Try not to come home later than 2:30 or 3:00 just so **** isn't out on her own too late going home"
WOAH again again... There was no don't come home too late because we are sleeping or anything...it was because she didn't want my friend out late and alone.

Should I be scared? Its like I am being treated super nice for some reason..

Really, I was out till like 3am and she had NO problem with it.
I was like downtown denver and she was totally cool with it.
And yet again WOAH...

What is usually behind this 360 changes like this?
I kinda feel like a week from now I'll probably hear something like, "I need a kidney" JK

sounds like she's walking on eggshells trying to get along and hoping you will do the right thing give a chance to do so on your own.

Maybe she is testing the waters. Giving your more freedom to see if you can handle it. If you want this to continue I would work really hard on keeping her trust, showing her respect and keeping open communication. Show her you can handle this, and maybe this will be the new norm. I hope so. I know what's it like to have a curfew and stuff. My rents tried to give me one when I was 19, 20 because I was still living under thier roof. It can be frusterating sometimes.

Just enjoy the night and don't try to over think it, us moms sometimes get a bug up our butts and make us want to be nice to our kids :P.

I guess so.
She has always said that even though I am an adult that since I still live at home I have to go by her rules but now it was a total 360 and there is another party next friday and she's all game for it as well, she actually WANTS me to go...WTF?

Its so messed up...its so back and forth and I don't get it lol

Maybe she's posting on a forum somewhere and somebody's telling her "try to lighten up on the little lady a bit..."

take the kindness, and try to be kind in return, maybe do a chore that isn't technically your, or turn in early one night just to avoid the getting up to pee and waking the household fight. Maybe your both maturing a bit....

Lol..I once went to sleep at 6-7pm after academy on saturday and woke up at like 2-3am because I had to go to the bathroom, it's ingrained in my system...I guess I am just a night pee-er.

And I can't ever sleep through the night anymore. It's the stress, I literally wake up frowning, no joke. I wake up on a daily basis with my anxiety level one mishap from a panic attack....why exactly...beyond me...lifes stress is stressing me out.

I went to bed and woke up an hour later had to go, went to bed woke up at like 5am and then finally got back to sleep and slept till about 1pm..

I have just been in this foul ass mood since the beginning of this month exactly, I wake up stressed, I go to sleep stressed, my dreams are stressful.

Argh
