Computer Desk :/
alright... soo. A couple of months ago my mom`s boyfriend let me put my mom's $400+ computer desk in my room. I always ruin things and i told him i wasn't sure if my mom would really want me to put it in there. So he was like just put it in your room. My mom said i could use but not long.. Everything was going fine except like a month ago i had the door on the side of the computer desk like a foot open to let the deck of the computer breath and then i went to get up real quick and bumped my knee in it.. i didnt notice till later when it was broken!!! ahh just the top part where it holds the door is broken it cracked right at the part where nails go in and i seriously cried. i dont think i can repair it myself. but the worse part is ive been hiding it from my mom and everytime she goes in my room i make sure she doesn't see it or i stand in front of it. it gets worse.. my mom asked a couple days ago if she could have her computer desk back and she'd get me a new one.. i was like ooh i dont feel like taking everything apart and stuff. and she was like ok well i wanna do it soon. im so scared to tell her. she'll ground me and get really mad at me. i mean me and my mom are like best friends and she knows i can be clumsy and ruin things. but its an expensive desk. =/ like a year ago the keyboard part broke off when it was in the computer room and my mom was going to get a piece for it or just return it and never did. i mean the computer desk is a piece of crap too. i cant ask my moms boyfriend for help because he is strick and mean and will completely ruin it for me. my questions are how should i tell her? should i just let her see it herself eventually or confess soon? :/ what are some good topics to tell her.. thank you for giving advice. i hope someone can help..

You should tell her little by little,confess,it's better for her to hear it form others,and once you get that over with you'll feel a lot better trust me when I say it.Say you're really sorry about it,maybe even crying will show how much guilty you feel that she would most likely not yell at you.But I'm not saying to confess right away but don't take too long to do so,and I would also pray if I were you that everything turns out fine.Hope that things turn out alright.

Hey tell her as soon as you can. It is much better then her finding it on her own. If she finds it on her own she will think that you were being sneaky and lying. I know it sucks but if you explain what happened I am sure she will understand. She may be annoyed but I don't think she will be all that angry. You said she knows you can be clumsy (I am too by the way) so its not like this is way out of left field.
Also suggest to her that she tries using wood glue to fix where the nail/screw go I broke my coffee table where the nail went in and the wood split, the glue fixed it and I was able to put another nail in. Make sure it is wood glue though and not any other kind.
Good Luck, hope this helps.

You probably won't want to hear this but - you should face the music and tell your mom as soon as possible. (Don't go through the boyfriend.) As a parent myself, I would rather have my teenager confess his wrongdoings rather than discover it myself later.
If your mom finds out herself that the desk is broken, she will not only be upset about that but she will also be upset with you for not telling her. That's a double whammy!
Okay, she'll get mad. But believe it not, she will also get over it. We parents get upset with our kids but we will ALWAYS love them in the end, no matter what.
Good luck. Let me know how it went. :)
