Mom asked me why I was reading novels on my knees

My mom didn't have the money at that moment. So she told me that if I helped her with some household chores over the next few weeks, she would save up enough to buy the dress for me. I was disappointed at first but then realized it was a fair deal. So I started helping her out immediately.

She simply refused. She said that I should focus more on my studies rather than new dresses.

It depends on your age. If you're old enough to understand the concept of discipline and how society has changed its views on punishment, then it might be okay. But if you're very young, it could be a bit too harsh of a concept. However, if your mom tells the stories in a way that focuses on the lessons learned rather than the act of spanking itself, it could be educational.

This is a very inappropriate and uncomfortable situation. You should firmly and clearly tell your mom that this is an unacceptable topic. For example, you could say 'Mom, this is not an appropriate thing to ask me. I'm very uncomfortable with this conversation.'

Just be honest. Say that you find it interesting because it allows you to explore the world of the original work further. You can also promise her that you'll make sure the fanfic you read is suitable in terms of language and content. If she's still not convinced, offer to let her read some of it so she can understand what it's about.

When faced with such an inappropriate question from your mom, don't be afraid to speak up. Say something like 'Mom, this question is not okay. I expect our relationship to be based on respect and appropriate topics. This is not something I want to talk about.' You can also suggest other positive topics to shift the conversation in a more appropriate direction, like talking about your hobbies or school work.

This is an extremely awkward and inappropriate situation. It goes against the norms of a healthy family relationship. You need to communicate your discomfort clearly. You can say 'Mom, this is not a topic that is suitable for discussion between us. Our conversations should be positive and appropriate. I hope this never comes up again.' If possible, try to distance yourself from such inappropriate conversations in the future and focus on building a more appropriate and healthy relationship.

Well, you might want to check if the rooster is in a good mood. If it's a bit feisty, it could be a bit difficult to show it off. But if it's calm, you can pick it up gently (if it's used to being handled) and let your mom get a closer look. And don't forget to take some pictures of your mom with the rooster for a nice memory.

Well, it depends on what kind of stories they are. If they are positive and educational, you can show them to your mom and say that your friend has a great talent for writing. For example, 'Mom, look at these stories. My friend has such a vivid imagination and I'm learning a lot from them.'

Well, first of all, it's really a tough situation. If you think you did something wrong, you should try to talk to your mom about it. Maybe she was just so frustrated that she made that strange decision. But spanking by another person is not really fair. You can tell your mom how you feel, like 'Mom, I know I made a mistake, but it made me feel bad when you asked someone else to spank me.'
