How long until my parents trust me again?

Today was a good day for me. My mother recognized that I listened to her all day today and we had a good day. There was no fighting or arguing or anything. (she works in myschool) We had no problems!! (for once!) So my question is, if I continue with this behavior, how long would you estimate that she will finally give me some priveledges back such as going on myspace or going out? (my parents dont trust me because I keep lying to them!)

Answer #1

Keep demonstating to them, they can TRUST you to be responsible (home on-time, call when you’re supposed to, do not lie, etc)…Good job !!

Answer #2

Dear Prince, You are learning a wonderful lesson which is…You are treated the way you treat others..In this case it just so happens to be your parents. You are showing respect, showing consideration,showing the ability to listen with no confrontation..and look how nice your life is going. You are simply receiving all that you are giving. I would not worry about how long it will take for your parents to trust you, just keep exercising your newly developed people skills. What you are developing goes way beyond your parents trust.. when..if..how long.. etc..It is creating a way better adult life for you and the people around you..This is what to concentrate on for now the rest will take care of itself. You still have opinions and points of views etc..but you will find the way you are acting will give you a way better life. Someday you may thank Mom and Dad. Familycoach

well listening to your parents 1 day is just a begining and you would probably have to continue to listen to them even after you get some privileges back. The key thing is to be resonsible as much as possible. This is also the easiest way to figure out a lot about becoming an adult, even thou you might want to do one thing you have to know what the responsible thing to do is and follow through with it.

Answer #4

It depends on your parents, really. It could be a week, or it could be a month, or even (probably not) a year. It just depends on how long you have been untrusted. But as long as you are getting better and not screw up (to badly anyway) you should start to see more privilages in a couple weeks.

keep up the good work
