Greetings,
If you are contributing to the cost of living under that roof to a large enough extent that it covers at least half of your cost and that of your child.
Then your mother needs to start treating you like and Adult and realize that though maybe she does not agree with some of your decisions.
You are at least pushing forward in order to succeed in life and give your child the same opportunity down the line.
If you are not however, you need to face the music.
If that's not something you want to do then you should find your own place and exist in your own independent space in this world. Having a child at 16 is not ideal but you must always look forward and ahead.
Asking this question, regardless of your situation says a bit about you.
I'm not judging you but you did not disclose the punishment and the error on your part that she perceived. This would bring you a much clearer answer but I am inclined to believe that you left this out for that very purpose.
You are searching for a specific answer.
One which would be favorable to you.
As you essentially presented yourself as 'I am an adult because I have a child - She treats me like I am 16 - I work so should be immune from punishment.'
Do not allow your mind to ever ponder for too long on the now and on the past.
If anything should occupy your mind for long, it should always be thoughts of Future.
As it is not yet written, your energy towards this on coming stage will always be beneficial.
I don't know your situation but Education is not something one should discard very easy. Even if you are not actively in a school. You should always seek to fill your mind with new knowledge. That is something that really never stops. Even Academics are in a constant pursuit of knowledge.
Dream big and aim for the center.
You might not always hit the mark but close enough will suffice.
I wish you and your child all the best.
I also wish you and your Mother better harmony.
These two existences in your world are very important.
Take care.
If you have parents who love you enough to take the time and make the effort to discipline you in a loving way, be grateful.
You mentioned you have a child. Is your mother helping you take care of the child? Do you still live at home? Your parent is trying to help you to be more responsible. Because you are sixteen does not mean your parent cannot discipline you. Now you have a child you need to focus on getting an education even more so. You are now a parent ask yourself If my child should behave irresponsible to cause me distress because of disobedience and making bad decisions how would i feel? Once you have a child you are a parent for life it does not stop at any age. Through good times and and bad times a loving caring parent will always be there to help you grow into a responsible adult. I do not know what you mean by your mother punishing you but we all need discipline. This advice from the bible at Ephesians:6:2,3 “Honor your father and your mother” is the first command with a promise: 3 “That it may go well with you and you may remain a long time on the earth.” The bible also have loving instructions for parents how to treat their children My son is 40 years old and even though married with three wonderful sons follow this commandment and told me a week ago how he appreciated my discipline because his life would not have turned out the way it has.
