    Mom Walks In All The Time
    My mom walks in while I'm taking a shower all the time to give me clothes or to get something out so much that I can't shave my pubes when I really want to. If I do, she will notice and it will be an embaressing thing. Please help. When I tell her I need my privacy, she says, "no you don't. what are yuou hiding?"

    I can't have my own room until I get the money from the hurricane katrina.. program thing blah.. so we can buy a house.
    Helpies.

    Take your clothes in the bathroom with you and then lock the door. Everyone has a right to some privacy. Your Mom needs to respect that for you as much as she would expect you to respect that for her.

    I do take my clkothes in the bathroom sometimes, she still walks in to like get something.. Every time I take a shower, I'm afraid that she's going to walk in. and if I lock the door she gets mad.

    OK firstly, how old are you? Because there are serious limits to when parents should walk be able to walk in on you or not, just tell her it makes you uncomfortable, I mean she has her privacy right? So it should work both ways. (this is an age dependent thing though)

    If you cannot reach a compromise with your Mom on this, then is there someone you can ask to speak to your Mom with you? Someone she would listen to and respect what was said? Like a school counselor or even a family friend?

    Um first, I'm 14.

    @shy: Well I wouldn't let my friend hear about my privacy problems because that is just embarrassing and my school counselor is actually.. very, very mean. I would never feel comfortable around her. That is why I never spoke to her about my problems because she is very, very mean. I would rather talk to a counselor outside school, not someone who is so mean I wouldn't feel comfortable telling my problems to.

    You really just need to tell her in a calm collected respectful way that you would much rather that she didn't come in when you are in the shower. You can tell her that you have nothing to hide but there is a door closed for a reason. Try to get her to knock if there is really something that she needs or something, try taking shorter showers, maybe shave on like saturdays or something when you aren't in a hurry to go to school or something. Tell her that you want to take a long relaxing bath and take in some candles and music or something.
    I'm sorry about the katrina thing. Hope life gets better for you overall.
    Love amy

    Why don't u print out some type of article about the importance of privacy on your future mental health and show it to her. This works really well for other issues so I am sure it will work for this one too.. Make sure you also show the name of the writer and make sure there is a splashy title in front of the name like doctor or phd or something... good luck

    As much as I agree that you should have your own privicy, there's nothing you can do, she's your mum or mom in your case.
