Last night i went to cousin's wedding. we were all having fun and stuff.(obeying all the rules)
but later into the night, I got risky but still being a good kid, I asked my dad if he thinks it is alright if I got some drinks. He said yes,i was now 15 and I could handle myself.
So... I drank a few glasses of wine with my parents and friends. my parents didn't object.
then I left with my friend's and got some beer.
My mom caught me drinking the beer and she got really vexxed. She said how I betrayed her trust and all sorts of crap like that.
I didn't tell her that dad said yes otherwise that would cause family disruption.
No I am in trouble for drinking 1 beer. 1!
and I want to know how I could apologize to my mom.
thanks for the tips.

Just sounds like communication got a little messed up between your parents. If your mom knows that u did it because your dad approved i'm sure she'd be a whole lot more forgiving. If she still doesnt understand then just tell her you're sorry and you didn't mean to hurt her. Hope i helped and good luck!!!
SoNotLegal answered Tuesday August 9 2005, 2:16 am: You're right; it's probably a good idea not to tell your mom that your dad gave you permission to drink. I've been in your SAME situation, and I told my mom -- it ended in a huge fight. So in my opinion, you shouldn't tell your mom (if your dad decides to do so, that's his choice).
Sit down and have a talk with your mom. Even though you may not feel like you did anything wrong, try to at least ACT sorry. Tell her that you know you broke a rule and you know that you betrayed her trust (even if you feel you didn't). I'd say that you should probably just deal with whatever consequences she dishes out... considering that even one beer is illegal, and she's already upset, you probably shouldn't push her too close to the edge and cause her to punish you too severely, you know?

MELiixMARiiE answered Monday August 8 2005, 5:21 pm: I would just explain to her the whole story, cause there's still some parts of the story that she doesn't know which if she knew she shouldn't be as mad at you as she is. Just maybe talk to your dad about it, and ask him if he'll explain to her how he let you have a few drinks. But don't just have him do everything...just be like," Mom, I'm sorry I betrayed your trust and stuff, but it's just Dad said it was okay if I had a few drinks and I promise all I had was one. What can I do to gain your trust back?" Because I know you don't want to tell her about your dad saying yes, but there really is no other way I can think of to let her know the whole story cause then maybe she'll be more forgiving, and maybe she'll be mad at your dad for a bit, but hopefully she'll get over it. And maybe even "punish" yourself to show you mean business whenever you say you want her trust back. ( or let her do it ). I know it'd suck being punished, but getting her trust back would be worth it, don't ya think? I hope I helped!!
karenR answered Monday August 8 2005, 4:25 pm: First let me say this in defense of your parents.
Dad probably okayed it for you to have a few drinks at home where he could keep an eye on the situation. Neither seemed to object to you drinking at the party.
When you left with your friends and got beer, you then involved others who more than likely did not have permission to drink. That could have put your parents in jeopardy of getting in big trouble had the friends been at their party.
So, that is what you need to apologize for. Your parents trusted you to be home drinking under their supervision. You left and endangered others. Tell mom you realize that you took things to far (possibly due to drinking) and that you understand now that your actions could have gotten them into trouble as well as yourself. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Razhie answered Monday August 8 2005, 2:17 pm: Apologise to your mother. But you owe it to everyone in your family to be honest with her. Talk to your father and explain what happened, you both need to explain yourselves to your mother. Your father thought it was appropraite, your mother didn't. This is a discussion everyone needs to have. You aren't doing anyone favors by keeping this information to yourself.
And I've got to add, a few glasses of wine and a beer is a lot of drinks for someone who hasn't really drunk before. Take care of yourself, moderation is the key to not looking like a moron. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
