I miss my mom.

[Metric.]

I miss my mom. It's not like she's dead and I'll never see her again, she's just never home.

My parents are divorced and my dad lives in Canada, so I don't see him as often as I would like. These past few months, we've moved and she's been at meetings in L.A. for weeks at a time, and I'm home alone. She's going away again for 2 weeks at the end of August, and I'm going to be home alone.

At night she's either at work or out with her girlfriends, and if she's home, I'm usually out or at work. It seems like I never see her.

I live in a house where there are basicly no rules or curfews so I can do pretty much whatever I want.. I just wish I could watch a movie with my mom, or go out to lunch without it being intrupted by a cell-phone, or push her in the pool! hahha

All my friends have mom's and dad's that are always around, but mines not, when my friends are like "i am so jealous, your mom is never home" or "i'm so jealous, your mom left you home alone for 2 weeks" I'm like ya, but I'm actually jealous of them having there mom or dad home all the time.

I just wish it would go back to the time when mom was home, when she took vacation and stayed home, and we'd go to the beach togeather and she'd point and make fun of the people who were wearing bathing suits that looked bad, or when we'd go to the movies and her and I would throw popcorn at the people sitting in front of us, or when I'd go to work with her and she'd show me houses she was remodeling. I miss all of that.

I can't see it changing anytime soon either, in a few years I'll be in University in Canada, and she'll be all alone, I just wish we could spend these last few years togeather as a family.

I rambled on a lot, but I had to get it out.

Anyone else have this problem?

No but i know how you feel it's sorta the same with my dad

[luke-p]

Well quite simply, when she is home - Instead of going out with your friends, then spend some time with her... Go a theme park or something.

[Samishlol]

That's what his saying when his not gonna be there she will.

[dirrty]

just tell her how you feel and that you want to spend time with her. my dad lives on the other side of leicester and my mum is moving to dubai with my sister cause she wants to teach abroad and my sister has to go. my grandma has moved in with me as my mum will come back possibly in 3 years - or she might stay longer if she feels like it. so i might feel how you feel in the future.

When my dad goes away for business meetings he could go for upto a week regularirly... mostly over 1 night or 2 but because it happens so much in a certain time space it feels I never see him but when he is home I do, and i'm glad, it must be really upsetting to have no family with you on demand

[Luayminator]

My dads like that but Ive never found any solution but to tell him exactly how I feel... your mom loves you and when you talk to her shes gonna understand and do her best.

my mom lives in illinois and my dad lives with me and hes only home for about 7-9 hours a day, including the night time :/

All u can do is tell her how you feel. Or if you dont want to be so direct then maybe just start suggesting u do things together. Like if thers a nice restraunt near by say u want to check it out and ask her to go to and then spend the whole evening chatting and just drop in that ud like to spend more time with her.
Idk, iv never had any real relationship wit my dad and my ma was a total ***** who i havnt seen since i was 15 and i dont want to so i cant really understand child parent relationships to good.
I spend lots of time wit my aunti who i live with, atleast once a week we will sit down with a bottle of wine or two and just chaff away and we go shopping and stuff together. Meh.

I suggest taking leave from your work sometime, and have a nice outing with her. Maybe you can take advantage of the weekends to do this too. Explain to her how you feel, how you need to have a parent to be with you, maybe she will understand and get some time off so you can spend time doing those stuff again.

Good luck
