Agreed fully. Tip toe-ing and dancing around the problem is only adding to the frustration. You can’t understand why mom doesn’t understand you, your mom can’t understand her daughters decision making and thinks the boyfriend is irresponsible due to the OP’s own irresponsibility.

Here’s something I learned (thankfully early on), sometimes it’s best to fess up and come clean. Worst that can happen is what, she gives you more silent treatment? Lol
