Question Posted Thursday January 20 2005, 9:18 pm

My mother and I got in a huge fight. I went over like $50 bucks on my cellphone bill, and she was sooo mad!!! So yeah we got in a fight, and now I'm not speaking to her at all. I don't want to apologize to her, because she called me stupid and stuff, I don't know how to apologize to her. Should I just not talk to her all night and then write her a note and leave it for her in the morning, or should I apologize to her tonight to her face? I'm overly confused. Please help me!!!

no talk to her. what if she dies in her sleep. or in a car crash tomarrow. i know it sounds hard, but always let people know how you feel because its too late.

what if she died, and she died and the last memory you had of her/ she had of you was a fight?

or what if you died? then she would feel bad and so would you because your mom would still be here, and be all sad


think about it- i always do, i know it seems hard, but ive been doing it latetly and it makes you feel alot better.

my friends cellphone bill was 1400$ one month. most of that was from her ebing stiupid and some late fees but you could always tell her that. you should appoligize to her face, a note really doesnt say much.

Well, its morning now. I hope you at least wrote her a note. Offering to pay the bill will help tremedously. For me that is about 5 hours work. Which is most of the day that would only go for that one bill. And then there are the taxes that are taken out of that. So its about one forth of a week wasted on your phone bill. Yeah apologize and try to keep track of what you are spending. There is usually some way you can check your minutes on the phone.

Don't talk to her tonight. You seem way to angry and pissed off to talk to her without starting to fight again- thats absolutly understandable, you just gotta give yourself time to blow off your steam. write her a note, just saying that you really are sorry you went over your cell phone bill, and you are totally willing to pay for it. that you are still upset because of the things that were said, and that you just wanna talk to her without getting defensive and without fighting. it'll show responsibility because your apologizing, but letting her knwo your still mad.

Well if i were you i would apologize because you have to realize money doesn't grow on trees and 50 bucks may seem like a little amount but it really isn't for a cell phone bill. Here's what you say...

Mom, look i am really sorry about the bill and i realize i have to make better choices about when and for how long i talk on the phone but you have to realize that i DO have a social life. I mean, i will try not to get like 50 bucks over but i may not be able to go under 20-25 bucks. Again i am sorry and i love you.

i was in that same situatation and i felt the exact same thing... Just try that... tell me how it works out!

You should pay her back the $50. While that might not seem like much to you, that is actually a crapload when it comes to monthly bills. Especially on a cellphone. Find a way to pay back the money - that would be the responsible thing to do, and offering to do so is the best way to apologize.
