Good or bad parenting?

[Yin&Yang]

I know parents are supposed to be evil and say what you can and what you can't do but do they always have to nag? - My mother is a true pain in the ass. She is a teacher at my school and she obviously knows everything I do in there. When I was 12 or 13 she started the talk "when you will be married" and wants me to clean and cook as much as I can. I sewed Tifas AC outfit lower part (not sure how to name it?) but I'm not allowed to wear it because "school is not a carnival". She doesn't like that I draw so much Final Fantasy stuff or write fan fiction and wants me to "get out of the fantasy world". My last picture got a comment - "Why their hands look like old people?"
And now she is against the idea of me going to an art school instead a gymnasium. There are numerous thing she does but what she doesn't do is telling me that I look nice, I have done a good job or even that she loves me or is proud of me...
How in the hell can I convince her that I want to study what I like and I like to express myself the way I do? Help!!!

Maybe you should say that you're mature and old enough to make your own decisions about what you want to do D:

Usually I make a deal.

"Ok, I do as you say, but after that you let me do what I want to do."

On the other hand you can let her try a game

And now she is against the idea of me going to an art school instead a gymnasium. There are numerous thing she does but what she doesn't do is telling me that I look nice, I have done a good job or even that she loves me or is proud of me...

That's NOT her decision. The most important thing about a job is not the salary, but how happy you are when you work. If you are going to sit in an office and think you would be more satisfied with art. And you will sit there for 10 years and think about that, you will psyche you're self for no good.

Ask her if she would go to a job every day when she could do something she wanted to do. She could have parents that forced her to be a teacher. I don't know, but be careful now. Ask her if she had any dreams when she was young, (don't dare to ask if shes happy with her job), maby she would be more happy with a job like that.

Then try to but her into your situation now. Its tricky. But plausible.

Ok, I was a little Freud. It's not an easy way. And teaches are smart people.

As a last shot that could blow both ways, you simply refuse to go to gymnasium. Tell her its not worth it since its not what you want.

Never get into a fight with her. Be calm the entire time. If you become frustrated in any way she will use it against you.
