A blog about my personal life. Which we all know you care about.
Thank you for all the comments! I really do appreciate them. I read every one of them and I Love them. I would like to make a couple of rules though...
1. I do not like these two words so please don't use them: Jesus Christ or God Damn it. I would appreciate it.
2. Please do not post my picture or anyone else's picture on my blog ANYWHERE with out my permission first.
3. Please no major negative comments. I can deal with criticizes but nothing that will hurt my feelings.
4 I must approve all of your comments first before they can be published.
5. I will communicate back through my blog. If you leave a comment and I don't comment back, don't worry. It doesn't mean I have not seen it, I have. I Just don't have time to comment back, so it will be in my blog.
Thank You for all your wonderful comments.

It sounds like your mother is somewhat over-the-top with the punishments, but you need to work on the part of your brain that thinks ahead and recognizes consequences. Just be more reliable. You should have called her back if you were going to stay that long. Parents do freak out if their teens are out late at night cos they figure they are up to no good. You need to prove otherwise and give her a chance to trust you. Remember also that your mother figures that she is the one responsible for discipline cos your stepfather does not want to be in the position of the 'hated' stepfather for punishing you. Give your stepfather a break cos it is tough for them sometimes. Your mother may be taking out some of her stresses on you and that is not fair. Try and talk and reason with her calmly and reassure her, and if she give an inch, don't take a mile! You have lots of company Andrew with screwing up; just ask your friends. It is important for teens to let their parents know where they are and when they will be home. They worry so be considerate and think ahead. Let things cool down and get your computer back (And sneaking around behind her back is not a good way to build trust). If you can be reliable and build trust, then your boundaries will gradually expand. Keep things calm this weekend! bfn - Wayne (I hope you can keep your job!)
ReplyDeleteOh boy. Trubs, as Gabe would put it. I don't know what to tell you. I guess you have to get back into the "perfect son" routine. I can kind of see her point since you were an hour late (my rules were "call before we go to bed if you'll be late" - and this was before cells), so I would call. You might suggest that. I can't say it's an overreaction, because I don't know your whole story or hers either, but it does seem a bit extreme for an hour late...hope things work out. Be good. I'll be around when the sentence is up.
