How can I tell my mom sorry for something bad I've done?

Well I got in abig argument with my mom, and I know I was wrong but she just kept asking me questions in the television while I was doing my makeup. Like whats that and what did they say . So I just popped at her.and now I feel bad but I dont know how to tell her sorry .

Answer #1

get her a I love you card and maybe some flowers or something she really likes and just tel her you love her and your truly sorry

Answer #2

ask her if you can talk 2 her most likely shell say yes look her in the eye & tell her that you didnt mean what you said & your really sorry & ull try 4 it not 2 happen again hug her & telll her you learned your lesson & you wont have 2 clean or do the other stuff

Answer #3

Clean the house for her, try extremely hard to get your grades up. If you do the cleaning thing, and she walks in, she’ll say,”Why did you do this for me?” And say something like,”Because I’m so sorry, and I love you.”

Answer #4

I agree with everybody else above, and I totally know how you feel, my moms on the menopause and she suffers with really bad depression anyway, but she can be so difficult to live with because on night we’ll be having a glass of wine together laughing and talking and it’s great, the next she just flips, but if I’ve ever done something wrong but I never know how to say sorry, I know ignoring her isn’t going to help at all, daft little things what make you acknowledge her, like ‘ do you want a cup of tea while im making one?’ or ‘im going to the shops, you need anything picking up?’ or I just bite the bullet if its something really bad andsit her down, explain how I feel and how she made me feel which made me shout at her, and tell her I love her and how sorry I am good luck! erin x

Answer #5

I’ve had situations like that and I never know how to bring the subject up.

I’ve found it’s best to come straight out and say “I owe you an apology.” Get it right there in the open and don’t beat around the bush. People will always understand and respect that.

When she asks what you’re talking about, just spill your guts, and be as honest as you can.

Answer #6

I do same mistake sometimes and I feel that my mum gets upset on me too quick but after a while I realised that she suffers when I do that !!! she told me that I will see how it feels when my child will do that to me !!!? my advice is not to do it again and try to get closer to her like tell her what you ve done today ,how was the school , just have a good comunication with her .

Answer #7

Good advice above! If you tell you what you said (the bit about ‘I know I was wrong… now I feel bad’) then she’ll be so touched by your honesty, she’ll really get the message. It’s what we humans are so bad at doing - admitting we were wrong. When someone can get into the habit of admitting the truth when they mess up, everyone in the family begins to learn to do the same thing. Then everyone can apologise quickly and move on, instead of holding grudges and waiting for the other person to aplogise first. You have the right attitude - find a way to show you care, let her know you’re sorry - then move on!

Best of luck…
