I am playing hopscotch.
I am confused.
I can't follow the numbers.
My mother is not happy.  
 
I am on the Merry-Go-Round.
I am happy.
I giggle.
The Merry-Go-Round stops.
My mother picks me up.
 
Who am I?

Damn.  That's a good answer.  If the mother-me part was not included it would fit better than the intended answer.

A Compact disc?
 
<edit> In retrospect, it would seem that the merry-go-round would be doing any giggling.
Perhaps I'm thinking about it in the wrong direction?</edit>

Perhaps taking icecoldcelt's suggestion a step further a Juke Box?
 
I did think my first answer was stretching a little bit to fit the familial relations, as different parts of system were being forced to play the same role, but the hopscotch and Merry-Go-Round seemed to fit very well Undecided

Jukebox/Turntable is indeed the intended solution for the mother.  I am a vinyl record.  Credit to Icecoldcelt, though, for a good guess.   Three Hands gets bonus points for guessing Roulette.  That was an even cooler idea for a riddle.
