My little cousin had her birthday yesterday, but my mom almost made it unenjoyable. She was fussing over everything, told me to change into fancy clothes 2 times, starting yanking at my hair to style it. Heck, my cousin is a 2 year old, do you think she cares about hair and clothes and order? No! And she put NUTRITIONAL FRUIT BARS in the pinyata. What the heck?! Who does that?! I can't even tell her that she's being too uptight without her cutting me off and telling me "Respect your elders Nina". It is crazy frustrating. And she's also blaming me for my brother's mistakes. And if I try to even say my feelings out loud, I get in trouble. I'm sorry to bother you guys with this, but its been bottled up inside me for a while. Thanks for reading.

I shall give you the same advice.
When telling your mom how you feel, keep our voice calm and calculated. Ask your mom why you had to wear a dress to the party.
Agree with your mom when she answers. Then make a counter point. You may want to raise your voice but do. not. No matter how frustrating she may be.
Ex:
"I do agree that I look nice in the dress. However, while I do look nice the party was kind of hard for me to enjoy because I could not play with the other kinds in fear of getting the dress dirty."
