Opinions?

Ok, I`m only 13 and my mom wants to start buying dresses and inviting people to my Quinceanera. Now, she`s not inviting them by saying, "Come at this time, date...". She`s just asking them to come. I think that she is counting her eggs before they hatch. She already has about fifty lists of things she wants to get, but we don`t know if those things are going to be available two years from now or if I`m going to like them. Right now, I think my mother should be trying to save money, because at this moment, she has just about everything figured out, but no money saved at all. I`m worried that when it`s time for my Quinceanera, we aren`t going to have any money for it. When I try to explain myself and my feelings to her, she gets all mad and says that she`s not going to give me a Quinceanera at all. I`m all for trying to plan things and pick stuff out, but not the things that I`m not sure about. I really don`t know what to do, and I`m tired of fighting with her. She is completely osessed with my Quinceanera and that is LITERALLY all she talks about every hour of the day. She totaly zones herself out of reality and just stays on the computer looking at Quinceanera stuff for hours on-end. Maybe if I show her your guy`s opinions on this situation, she`ll understand what I`m trying to tell her. Please, please, please reply with your opinions on this matter, I thank you for you time.

Ana,
Try giving your mom some support, Reality is that just planning it and seeing what you would want to include will eventually create the "budget" for the Quinceanera. And they you will begin saving for what is feasible. That is how I began when planning my daughters, over a year ago. We looked at ideas then we sat down and created the budget- then from there things went smoothly. I think we have everything under control and we are not stressing. Here Quince is on Aug. 23, 03

Omg! Youre mom sounds like me on my quinceanera...thats why i`m herE!

But just be lucky she cares...even if it is annoying...

I honestely woundn`t asdive telling her how you feel... Unless she`s makeing all the choices leaving your say out... But other than that try not telling her how you feel in the Quinceanera situation only because it`s such a delicate,,, and expensive situation that i`d put up with the jibber! Your right she shoudn`t tell u youre not gonna get one (but honestly she`d never cancel it beacause she`d feel stupid after she told so many people) Oh and yeah, whens she does that... If she starts to tell certain people about your party maybe a friend that comes over for some reason but ya really don`t want then to come ( thats not being harsh) and she tells them or u think she`s gonna tell`em about... Tell her kinda in a disguised wway not to talk about it! Thanks!

There is two sides to every story, heres the second part what is being left out is her mom wasnt inviting people to her q, she was asking family members to be padrinos and madrinas thats all. And all she said was if shedidnt want one she wouldnt give her one. Thats all there was to it.

I hink that you should tell your mom tat yeah sureyou want to plan itwith her bt it is way too early its nice to have SOME things figured out before time but NOT everything like say your dress,,most likely its not gonna fit when your 15 yo neva kno any also other things tel your mom that its better to save up money first of all and when your like halfway toe 15 start buying things little by litle thats what im doingand its really workin out.
