Question Posted Saturday November 26 2005, 12:31 am
Situation: My mom basically got mad because my older sister gave my little cousin glitter, and it escalated into a big fight. Evantually my mom said (right in front of my grandma and little cousin) that my sister smokes and she found her butts downstairs. I called my mom a bitch and flipped her off and ran to my little sister because she was crying. I told my mom I lost all respect in her because what she did was downright rude, saying it in front of company. Then she told my little sister that I was the one that told her (which is true, I am worried for her, but I told my mom that in trust, not so she could tattle) and now...I can't even trust her. It just, I can't believe she'd do this rude of things.
Well, now my mom is saying that all of this happened because she shouldnt have to take the dog out (the dog was practically a mini-part in the fight!) she said everybody here was wrong because she shouldnt have to come home and take the dog out (which would take less than a minute to do, plus everybody else in the house has been doing it all day). She won't even admit she is wrong! She wants an apology from us.
Should I suck it up and apologize. Am I in the wrong, because I feel awful for calling her those names. I don't know what to do...

I think that she shouldnt have told anyone because you told her that as a secret.... [ CutiePieDri's advice column | Ask CutiePieDri A Question ]

Something like that. You all should talk about it, you, your mom, and your sister together...

Then, I think you need to calmly explain to her why you did that (probably again!).
Tell her you were upset that she had violated your trust in her in front of company. There was a time and place for discussing the smoking issue, and the time she chose was indeed inappropriate.
Honestly though, so was calling her names and being disrespectful.
