It was my week to feed the dog and I totally forgot because I got so caught up on going to a a carnival thing where "famous" people were going. I kept getting out of the house with my friends looking for good clothes and stuff like that, you know getting ready. So I TOTALLY forgot about the dog and left the poor thing with no food. I know it was my fault but I didnt want to get grounded from going so I blamed it on my brother. I told my mom that we switched weeks and we didnt. My brother will not talk to me because hes grounded for the rest of the month since the dog is sick. And it really sucks because its summer! Well I want to tell my mom that it was really my week but I dont know if I should. I am driving myself INSANE over this. Please helppp!!

Then use the rest of your energy to pamper you poor dog. [ comicbookcrush's advice column | Ask comicbookcrush A Question ]
karenR answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 4:54 pm: Yes you should. Confession is good for the soul ya know! It really is unfair to your brother. You did a wrong thing and now you need to tell mom it was your fault and take your punishment. It sucks to be grounded in the summer but, trust me you WILL feel better having done it.

X_Amanda_X answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 10:14 am: You should tell your mom!!! I mean, how would you feel if your brother did something like that and then blamed you? Always put yourself in the other person's shoes just so you know how it feels. Take the dog to the vet! This is really bad because you can even get caused for animal cruelty. The vet can press charges on that. So obviously...FEED IT! And it would be horrible if your brother got charged for animal cruelty when YOU did it..
Dr_Joseph answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 6:57 am: Honesty is the best way forward here.
Take a look at your dog, i'm sure he won't hold a grudge.
Today you lie about this,tomorrow it'll be a bigger lie and before you know your behind bars wondering where it all went wrong for you.
mooch789 answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 9:03 pm: First of all, you shouldn't of lied to your mommy. Second of all, why didn't you feed the dog before you left. That shows your mom irresponsibility. Tell your mom the truth and she may understand. Good luck! Hope I helped! [ mooch789's advice column | Ask mooch789 A Question ]
ncblondie answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 7:33 pm: Since your conscience is obviously going into overtime bothering you, the best thing you can do is come clean. First ask your brother if he'll forgive you then go to your mom and tell her it was you. It sounds hard but it will make your relationship better with your brother, ease your conscience, and show your mom that you're responsible enough to take responsibility for your actions.
HumanMixtape911 answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 6:31 pm: i think you should come clean. the longer you try to hold in a lie, the harder it becomes and the more you regret it. just be honest with your mom and tell her the truth, she'll forgive you. you probably won't get off the hook completely but you'll feel better about admitting that it was your fault. also, you should probably apologize to your brother and make sure he doesn't hate you. hope i helped!
