Mother broke promise about having a party
Question
December 14, 2006
My mother made a promise to be about 3 mounths ago. Now she has decided not to follow through with it because of my school not agreeing with the promise because it is a religious school. The promise is to have a party. She finally gave in after me arguing and still gave me an ugly expression, which made me lose my appetite for having it. What should I do to make her understand and not be upset that I want it very much.

Answer
It is unfortunate that your school is against the party and has influenced your mother to break her promise. Is there some way to make a compromise about your party so that it will fit into the rules of the religious school?
Sit down with your mother and ask her if there is a way to have a party that would work out with the school beliefs or rules. It may not be exactly what you want, but it is better to have her agree, so you both can be happy.
I hope it works out that your mother will support you in having some sort of party.

Answer
Humans and even animals are mentally capable of dealing with their own problems. The thing in humans is that often they may blow their problems out of proportion. You may have seen a person who receives a minor injury or set-back and will go hysterical, as if it was the worst thing in the world. That type of reaction often results in not even trying to heal or solve the problem.
Usually, by accepting the problem and having determination, a person can solve most problems that confront them. The U.S. Marines have a good motto on this: "The difficult, we do right away. The impossible takes us a little longer."
