I would never suggest you just go by yourself. You're not one of those teenagers everyone over the age of 18 really really hates, are you?
To start with, you should, by now, be able to write your own spells. My opinion is that if one can cast one one should be able to write one, and if one can't write one, one probably shouldn't be casting them. Get more experience and study magic and spellcraft until you know what you're doing.
Second, do you have any sort of ethical construct that you follow? Because to me, casting a spell to control someone in that way is highly unethical and one of the worst things you can do. YOU may think that her beliefs are petty and narrow-minded, but I'm sorry, you do not have the right to dictate what other people think and believe. The very idea is horrifying. Policing the mind?! This is where it starts, you know. Next you'll be thinking "oh, well, that person doesn't like such and such but I do, and my opinion is clearly superior because hey, it's mine, so I should just cast a spell and then their opinion will be the same as mine". Do you not see the problem with this?
I mean, if someone forbade you for believing what you believed, from following your religion or practising your craft, you'd be pissed off, right? How would you feel if they messed around with your mind so that you actually stopped believing what you believe?
This sort of thing is so very rarely justified and even if it is justified - and I'm still iffy on whether there's actually a situation where this could be justified - you would still have to be very careful about how you framed it.
I don't believe in karma. I believe in respect.
To be blunt, this idea is childish and pathetic. Your mum won't let you do what you want, so your response is to cast a spell on her to FORCE her to let you do what you want? What the hell kind of reaction is that?
I know you're frustrated, but suck it up. You can move out in a couple years and then it won't even be an issue. You might want to actually, you know, contribute to your household by doing those chores and watching your sister without having to be bribed. You know that word you used? Privileges. Not rights, privileges. You do something to help out, and you get extra kudos. That makes sense to me. Your mother IS superior. Because she's your mother and you're her kid. She outranks you in the family unit. If you respect her, she will respect you. It goes both ways.

too2sweet If you are going to be 18 in a few weeks, I would just wait until then, and then move out as soon as possible. The problem is, as long as you are living in your parents house, you are subject to their whims. While it may be that she is being completely unfair, there isn't much you can do about it. Wish I had better advice, but there just isn't really anything...sorry!
*sigh* Yeah...I do understand that. But, unfortunately, I'll be here for a few more years. My mom doesn't want me to leave home for college, and until I get a decent paying job, I can't get a place of my own.
I guess all there is for me to do is...wait. crying Maybe, I can just hope for my sake that I have less restrictions put on myself...in all aspects, not just at home. Less obstacles.
It's funny...I'll go off on some tangent, wanting a certain something, only to realize in the end, that I come back right where I started from.
