Why did my mom ditch me?

This morning I wasn’t able to find my wallet which had all of the really important stuff that I needed for school, metrocard, Student I.D. etc… My mom was obviously really furious at me for not being able to find it. I wouldn’t blame her for that, she specifically told me to have my things ready for school tomorrow. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of looking for my wallet but I was ready to take the punishment for it.

Thats not the real problem, she got dressed, helped my lil sister pack her school bag and left without me! Without even offering me a ride for school! I was furious by this, I mean its fine that she punishes me but keeping me away from school is not OK. Do you guys have any idea why she did this? I’m too scared to ask her, she’ll just yell at me and remind how irresponsible I am with my things, I’ve been trying to work with it but its hard… Please help!

Answer #1

I did similar things though not as extreme and my father was also furious. Perhaps write her a note, and say what you think and want to ask. I am not very good at these things, I never knew how to stop my father being furious, he was angry again when something went wrong in his head apparently started bleeding inside and he had other problems because as I had long thought and found out with an analysis at an institute our well water has too much radioactivity to drink and there will have been similar problems with other water we had started to fetch for drinking and cooking because my father was such a saver, my mother now buys mineral water.

Answer #2

Well, you could just find the courage to ask her, but if that isn’t an option then try and figure it out. If she told you to get ready the night before and you forgot about your wallet then it was just an accident. You shouldn’t be scared to talk to her though. My opinion is that she had no right to leave you without even offering you a ride to school and you really should never be affraid to talk to your mother unless she hits you then you need to tell somebody. Just try to be more alert next time and double or even tripple check just to make sure that you have everything together. I know that I have forgettful moments all the time. 

                              Hope I helped and good luck hope everything works out well! <3
Answer #3

Zoe’s got it. Not being prepared after being told to be, pissed her off…and the best lesson is the grown up lesson…this is what happens when you aren’t ready. There’s a very good chance you’ll have ALL your stuff together next time.

Answer #4

She might have been too mad to take you. I don’t know your mom. With my stepfather, that would have been the cases. Otherwise, she was just trying to punish you in the only way she could think of at the time. While I may not agree with it, each person has a different parenting method.

Answer #5

Maybe she was trying to prove her point? She was trying to show you that if you’re not ready then you’re not able to get a ride. I would just try to shrug it off and be more prepared next time. Maybe you can try to apologize and ask why when you guys are on better terms.
