CG, ifn'you read this, couldja talk with me in #solace about a project?

Tonight mom dragged me along shopping and decided for me that I needed to work on my driving.. Which was not too pleasant since mom insisted on listening to her nordic music so she could learn the melodies for violin. Rrrr... And the factthat she tries to make me get clothes that I QUITE F*CKING frankly don't WANT or NEED! I'm running out of room in my room and CLOSET with all the crap she insists I get. All I need is about 10 shirts for warm weather and 10 shirts for cold weather, 10 sweaters, 3 coats, on forwork, one forplay, and one for those formal occaisions I'llbe forced to go to.

I DON'T need five dresses that I never wear, I DON'T need 20 sweaters and 15 sweatshirts, I don't need PRISSY FREAKING pants that I don't wear, I on't need 30 shirts in my dresser drawer, and I don't need all those hand me down from grandma she tries to land on me!

And I HAVE TOLD HER THIS MANY TIMES.

When will she actually TAKE THE HINT that I don't want anymore clothes, no matter HOW cheap they are right now.

I have never heard my eternal plight quite so exactly described.

A very simple and extremely effective method of handling the clothing issue is to do the following : Take EVERYTHING you don't want, put it in garbage bags, and ask her if she will help you move them to a donation center, since "I do not need or want these clothes anymore, but someone out there who doesn't have our money to spend on these items could desperately use them."

If she throws 7 kinds of hissys, just remain calm and ask her why it is she feels that it is so wrong for you to want to give that which you do not want or need to those who need it a thousand times more than you do. ^_^

Failing that, bring up the religious angle if she's at all religious.
Failing that, just tell her plainly "I like my life simple. This is simple : I do not want these, these are not staying in my room. Please deal with them as you see fit. That is all there is to this issue. See? Simple is good."
