HELP!

[Dolphin Girl]

It's not that I'm taking bad care of my Tamas, my mom is. She's permanently banned them all, won't let me go on the computer after school, cancelled my Moshi Monsters Membership and thrown out my DS. But worst of all I WON'T BE ALLOWED TAMATALK MUCH LONGER! Somebody please help me, I'm in desperate trouble. I'v got to be a true Tama-Lover and stay one, but HOW?!

Why is she doing these things? :/

Unfortunately, there's not much we can do over at our end to help your situation except maybe to offer some advice. The ball is in your court, so to speak. Parents rarely do things without a good reason for doing so. When I was younger, if I spent way too much time on the computer (which would also typically involve staying up late and neglecting certain responsibilities that take a much higher priority over being on the computer...schoolwork and chores, for instance), my parents would restrict my time on the computer until I was able to show them that I had gotten my priorities in order. It's not like I was a bad student. I was just making things harder for myself by leaving things to the last minute because I would be on the computer or doing other things besides what I really needed to do. I wouldn't be this far, academically, if it wasn't for their guidance and there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

I don't know your entire situation, but I daresay that maybe your mom is concerned that you are spending too much time on the computer when you're not at school. Parents may enforce restrictions and take disciplinary measures but that's not to say that they are unreasonable and will never let you have your things back again. You should first go to your mother and ask her why she did what she did if you don't already know the reason. Be sure to do it calmly and without an accusatory tone. Your goal here is to understand. Make a plan with her to let her know that you intend to do what you need to do (whatever that may be) so that she knows you're at least embarking on the right path. Of course, saying things will only get you so far. Actions speak louder than words so make sure you're actually doing what you promised to do. Over time, if your mom feels that you've changed, she may let you back on. It's not going to be an overnight thing, so make sure to be patient.

You don't have to be able to go on TamaTalk all the time to be a true Tama-Lover in your heart. Wishing you the best of luck in your situation!

I hope you paused your tamagotchi before she took them!

And perhaps you should ask your mum her reasoning on the matter? I highly doubt her actions are out of pure spite...
