My mom and I am fighting. We used to get on so well，and these days，she has been arguing with me about my not coming to home. She thinks I should spend more time help her with the housework instead going out a lot. In her eyes，I’m just a lazy boy whom only loves playing. The fact is that some of my friends and I are going to different school soon，so I want to spend as many time as I can with them. I knew I should try to understand the situation from her point of view. But I hope she can understand what important these friends are to me.
