About chakkuri

Hello all! Welcome to my page. I am a married mom in my 40s so I have a little bit of little experience behind me. :)
I've received some great advice on here from others and I feel it's only right that I try to give back.

alright... soo. A couple of months ago my mom`s boyfriend let me put my mom's $400+ computer desk in my room. I always ruin things and i told him i wasn't sure if my mom would really want me to put it in there. So he was like just put it in your room. My mom said i could use but not long.. Everything was going fine except like a month ago i had the door on the side of the computer desk like a foot open to let the deck of the computer breath and then i went to get up real quick and bumped my knee in it.. i didnt notice till later when it was broken!!! ahh just the top part where it holds the door is broken it cracked right at the part where nails go in and i seriously cried. i dont think i can repair it myself. but the worse part is ive been hiding it from my mom and everytime she goes in my room i make sure she doesn't see it or i stand in front of it. it gets worse.. my mom asked a couple days ago if she could have her computer desk back and she'd get me a new one.. i was like ooh i dont feel like taking everything apart and stuff. and she was like ok well i wanna do it soon. im so scared to tell her. she'll ground me and get really mad at me. i mean me and my mom are like best friends and she knows i can be clumsy and ruin things. but its an expensive desk. =/ like a year ago the keyboard part broke off when it was in the computer room and my mom was going to get a piece for it or just return it and never did. i mean the computer desk is a piece of crap too. i cant ask my moms boyfriend for help because he is strick and mean and will completely ruin it for me. my questions are how should i tell her? should i just let her see it herself eventually or confess soon? :/ what are some good topics to tell her.. thank you for giving advice. i hope someone can help..
You probably won't want to hear this but - you should face the music and tell your mom as soon as possible. (Don't go through the boyfriend.) As a parent myself, I would rather have my teenager confess his wrongdoings rather than discover it myself later.
If your mom finds out herself that the desk is broken, she will not only be upset about that but she will also be upset with you for not telling her. That's a double whammy!
Okay, she'll get mad. But believe it not, she will also get over it. We parents get upset with our kids but we will ALWAYS love them in the end, no matter what.
Good luck. Let me know how it went. :)
