Answer 1

Trust is a lot easier to maintain than to re-gain.

You need to do what you say you're going to do - follow through at all costs. Your actions need to be predictable and in following with what your parents would want you to do. Eventually they will trust you a little and if you handle that, trust you more. You have to be consistent and show them over a long period that you deserve to be trusted. I would not expect an quick fixes here. Its an important lesson to learn - remember this when you have a significant other in your life.

Good luck.

Answer 2

It depends on what you have done in the past to lose their trust, but I would suggest starting off with apologizing (from the heart, not just saying you're sorry). Sit and talk with them - tell them that you realize that the trust is not there and that you want to prove to them that you are responsible and trustworthy. Follow the rules they give you and show them that you are/can be a good adult and worthy of their trust. Help them without being asked. Take responsibility for your own actions. But above all, let them know that you want their trust and are capable of earning and keeping it. I don't know the specifics, only you do - so just follow your heart and do for/to them what you would want your own kids to do to you to make you proud of them.

Good luck!

Answer 3

It takes time to regain trust, just be patient and don't expect it to happen overnight. Try spending quality time with your parents, like when they're going shopping, or doing things around the house, try to be involved, and let them know you aren't doing anything behind they're backs anymore.

Answer 4

Trust is something you earn over time. Once you lose it, it takes a lot to get it back. You just have to make sure your actions in life support the trust you expect from your parents.

Answer 5

trust once broken is something you have to earn.

talk to them about wanting to earn the trust back and what can you do...
your actions are going to speak much louder than words.

help with the house..let them know where you are going to be and when coming home (if you are living at home)

show them your a good person..you just made some bad choices and learned from those choices.

communication.

Answer 6

How about not sneaking around anymore?? Tell your parents where you are going and then actually be there. Don't lie to them.

Answer 7

Be a child and let them be your parents. Parents are the most important part of your life. When you get older, just imagine when you child turns against you. There is no love like family love.

Answer 8

You are an adult now and the choices you make shouldn't matter to your parents as far as trust goes (as long as you aren't stealing from them or harming them in any way). Assert yourself to them that you are an adult and that you will take the consequences for your actions, then stand up and do it. If you show that you are willing to take those consequences then that alone should make them trust and respect you as an adult.

Answer 9

It depends on what you did, but the best thing is to be honest with them show them you are changing or do the things they say, it will take some time but you will get there just be patient.

Answer 10

Get a job and move out and don't ask them for money!

Or if you live in their home follow their rules and show them respect, never lie to them and listen and follow their advice!
