It might not seem so with the fights and midnight trash-outs, but with time, some good moments and a little obedience, it is possible to one day text your mom at 10pm telling her you've already been out a couple of hours and will be home only after midnight, not get an angry phone call the second she's done reading it and not, either, throughout the night and still get home to a friendly mother. And remember: if your mother asks you to call her, call her, because by the time she's calling, she's already angry.
