My mom refuses to believe that i am right about something. I am trying to connect my youtube account to an adsense account, and I need her Gmail account. And she keeps arguing how she doesn't have a Gmail she has a (with like a talking to a 4 year old dumbass voice) HOTMAIL. I tried to explain to her that when you create a google account, you recieve everything with it. My mother simply repeats what she said before. "I don't have a GMAIL. I have a HOTMAIL." I keep trying to get her to listen to me, but she refuses. I was just going to let it go and walk away until she said "trust me I know about this. You don't always have to be right" That PISSED ME OFF. Whenever we tend to "argue" about anything I (in reality) am not ALLOWED to be right. She keeps making the SAME WRONG ARGUMENTS OVER AND OVER. I'm sick of it. I'm going to prove her wrong. Somebody tell me the GMAIL comes with GOOGLE. PLEASE. I already know it does but I need proof from other people. Although she would never admit to being wrong, she would simply choose her words to try to talk to me like I'm stupid, while she just begins to quiet down. I need a website, or something official by google. Please somebody help? just for once (also so my mom will just make the freakin account so I can make money for a new camera) I would like to be right. Most frustration will disappear. Thanks!

Creating a Google Account does NOT give you a Gmail account, according to Google:

"...please note that creating a Google Account won't automatically give you Gmail. However, you can sign up for Gmail for free. Just visit the Gmail homepage and click the Sign up for Gmail link under the sign-in box."

Simple answer.



1. If she created her Google account with using just a username, then she has a gmail account.

2. If she used her hotmail or other email to created the Google account, then she does not have a gmail account.



For example. usename: "imsocool" gives a gmail accout, but username: "imsocool@hotmail.com" does not.

Yes, when you create a Google account, you get a GMail account by default. You need to cancel it manually if you do not want to use it.



Please refer to the link at resources; third FAQ under "Email addresses and Gmail"

All features are required a Gmail account. It is easy to create. But Mom is refusing. Please wait for pass until your age limit. you have to create yours own account. Time will solve this problem. pls wait . because your parents are look after you. therefore you have to obey your parents.

Send an email to her Google account name @gmail,com



If it gets through, you're proved correct. If it doesn't, she is,.
