my grandmother moved in last month because she started to get sicka nd everything so we had her come to our house after the hospital& everything. well i alwasy have faught with my mom, we just really dont get along like most of the time. but its been worse since my nana has been here. the other night my mom started yelling at me about everything ( she has issues, im not tryin to get attention she has problems though but i love her) but she started yellin at me so i was yellin back and my grandmother started bitching at me and they both started like egging me on trying to get me mad, cuz my mom knows how to get me mad and irritated. the next day my grandmother moved into my other aunts. i obviously feel really bad even though i knows its better but i feel like my moms hurt and my whole fam (my aunts and uncles, cousins) are all mad
what do i do? i dont wanna apologize idont know i dont think i have to but i probably do =(
Were they right for yelling? No. The Bible directs parents not to provoke their children. If you did something wrong (disobey, lie, talk back, etc.), you deserve correction/punishment, not degrading remarks and yelling. That's lazy parenting.
Who should be "the bigger man" and apologize first? You should. Why? Submit yourself to your mom's authority and show her that you are willing to comply with her rules, even if she does wrong. God never excuses someone's doing wrong for any reason, even someone else doing wrong first.
I think you'll find that if you apologize and submit yourself to your parents' authority, they'll apologize too, and maybe start provoking you less.

Tell your mom you're sorry for fighting with her, and your grandmother. She'll forgive you, maybe she feels like it's her fault. You never know, she could end up apologizing to you. Good luck! :] [ heyybaby's advice column | Ask heyybaby A Question ]
