3 hours on the computer

Last night after logging out of FunAdvice I spent up to 3 hours on the computer fixing it,which I accomplished,before I did any of that when I was in my moms room she comes in there and yells at me saying “Don’t get on the computer,it’s not working at all”,so I went ahead of her and got on so I could fix the problem with it,I finished it at around 10:00pm and tells her the good news.

When I come home today I asked her if any pop ups were coming up,she said no and I told her that she needed to apologize to em for yelling at me,do you think she should apologize for me fixing it when I didn’t have to?

Answer #1

If it were me?? Yes, I’d apologize…Kids are people, too…and deserve the same courteousy as I’d give anyone else…Parents have the right to be wrong (it’s nearly unavoidable)…but as teachers in how to get thru life, ya gotta walk your talk.

Answer #2

“She’s your mom. She has a right to be wrong and she has a right to yell at you whenever she wants”

So just because someone is your parent they have that right?

So just because someone is someones parents they have the RIGHT to rape them/kill them/abuse them? I think not. You desirve a thank you & an apoligy.

Answer #3

She should have apologized and thanked you.

Sure it wasnt your responsibility to fix it but you did it out of the kindness of your heart :] And I think that deserves a thank you.

But if you know she isnt going to apologize dont force her into doing so.

Just know you are right and she WASNT. That was nice of you to do that for her though.

Answer #4

uuummm I don’t really know… I guess she could but you did that cause you wanted 2, rite??? I mean, it’s like you don’t give 2 get.

Answer #5

She’s your mom. She has a right to be wrong and she has a right to yell at you whenever she wants. Just ignore her and choose your battles carefully. You may be right, but she’ll still win in the end.

Answer #6

pwincess_irenemarie,

How did you jump from yelling to raping? I think you fell down one hell of a slippery slope.

Like it or not, parents have authority over children. It doesn’t matter if she is right or wrong about the computer and it doesn’t matter what her tone of voice was. I’m guessing that she bought it and owns it. She told him to stay off of it and he used it anyway. Once you’ve finished growing up, have your own house and your own job and you buy your own stuff, then you can start telling your parents what to do. Until then, learn to keep your mouth shut and learn to manipulate your parents without direct confrontation (unless they are seriously abusive and need stopping).

Answer #7

forgive and forget
