Update on my knife situation.. (confiscation)

Saw chariot “swing low”? And who was he
That breathed that comforting, melodic sigh,
“Nobody knows de trouble I see”?
Swing low, sweet chariot... All you can do, as long as you will live with your parents, is to do like the duck: just look as everything was going smooth, keep out of trouble, but keep on swimming fast under the water.
Pray, and some day, things will get better, probably the day your mom shall see you as a responsible being/man, not as her little boy anymore, even if the mother to son link shall stay forever (nothing can untie this)...

Well, I'll be seeing her sunday. I never meant to mislead the forums. Sorry about the misunderstanding. =[
 
Whew! OK. I'll give it a try because when I was in your position I didn't try and I regret it...

Here goes...

Perhaps, suggest to her that the problem is a "relationship" problem and not a "knife" problem and offer to work hard on the relationship problem with her in return for her allowing you to keep your knives.

It would be a really mature approach. (Possibly more mature than, even, your mom.)

Obviously, this would mean that you would have to REALLY try and work hard on your relationship with your mother.

I'm not there, so I don't know. Just a thought.
 
what fulloflead said. although it's not that easy to go up to your mom and say that, I think?

for the next few days, lying low is probably the best thing you can do. maybe you can write a note for your mom or something. again, don't talk about your knives, but talk about the larger issue at hand, which is the issues in the relationship which, you want to work out.

good luck.
