Trust...
Hey, I hope you can help.
I went shopping at the mall today and my mom dropped me and a friend off. She never told us when she was picking us up. Apparently, since there was the daylight saving time change, I had a terrible perception of what time it was. It turned out that my mom had said 5:30 sometime before we picked up my friend. I finally got her call at about 7:15 and she was furious. She says that I'm incompetent and can't be trusted, both of which are untrue. How can I regain my mom's trust? THanks!!

You don't have to regain your mother's trust because it was never lost in the first place. You made an honest mistake that <b>anyone</b> could have made. Just sit your mother down and explain to her that you did not mean to make her wait so long. That because of the daylight savings time change, you thought it was much earlier then what it really was. Let her know that it was an honest mistake that could have, (and has been), been made by anyone, but that doesn't make you incompetent or untrustworthy. And here's a tip for next time, wear a watch with the minute hand set 10 minutes faster then what it really is. That way you can be the one waiting for your mother instead of it being the other way around.

Wait until she calms down and then explain to her what happened. Everyone makes mistakes. She will listen better once she has calmed down.

You can regain her trust by explaining to her that it was a mistake, and you are going to try to act more mature, and "man up" to your responsibilities! But you can't just say it..you have to do it!
Best of luck hun!
