How do I confess to my mom that it was my fault and not my brothers, without getting in trouble?

on saturday night, my mom wasn’t home so i had some people over……. and they kind of left a huge mess and the next day my mom saw the mess and she saw something that no parent should see.. lol…..uh ok then she said something like “What is all this? did your brother do this?”and usually it IS my brother who does that sort of stuff. but iwas too freaked out to tell her that it was my friends, so i was like “ i dont know?” and played dumb. and i feel bad but i don’t know HOW to tell her that it was my fault without her grounding me……?? :/

Answer #1

You can tell her in a gentle tone and tell her you’re sorry (and mean it) and ask her for forgiveness. Don’t for get to tell her you won’t do it again. Good luck ;)

Answer #2

Best I can tell you don’t tell her.

Answer #3

Every man for himself…jk!! haha. hes ur brother, and you’ll never meet anyone who knows u better than he does. i know if i had the same situation with my sister, id fess up, bcuz i love her and doing this will make ur brother not trust you and be disappointed in you. things might come up in ur life where u really just need help, or need someone to talk to, and right now you need to do ur best at getting along with ur brother, so you can bulid up the relationship and make it stronger.

Answer #4

You cannot confess and guarantee not being grounded. But you do it anyways because it is the right thing to do. You shouldnt have done what you did, and now you deal with the consequences. You want your cake and you want to eat it too. Sorry, life does not work that way.

Answer #5

i know that i have been in your situation before and how uncomfortable it is. just tell her you want to say something and then get somewhere where it is just you and her. say “mom do you remember…” and then say “well, i did that and im really sorry. i couldnt stand that you didnt know.” its the best i can tell you to do. my mom didnt get mad at me and i wasnt in trouble. she was a little disppointed that i hadnt fessed up before. but she was proud of me for coming and telling her.

Answer #6

if you confess to whatever you have done you will most likley get into trouble but at least you will have done the right thing? it’s not fair that your brothers are getting the blame for something they didn’t do. just think how you would feel if it was the other way round :/ you should confess, there fore your being honestt

Answer #7

Well tell her. I mean meaby she wont ground you for telling the truth. But if she does at least you will get that off your chest.
