My parents had to be away for a month I did what I regret, joined bad crowds, was about to get in seriuos trouble (didn't). Mom came 2 weeks ago and got to know. It's true I messed up, mom is treating me with love, but gave me a a punishment. I only go out with her. Cell phone, internet and friends are controlled. although I can swim on wednesdays, fun only on weekends and with some restrictions. Shes controlling my clothes, only decent shirts over a bra, braless no way (this will be forever) At night I stay home and spend quality time w/ mom, when we talk about life, right and wrong. This is not that bad, I know I was sidetracked, but such restrictions suck. And since mom wants me full of activities, I'm taking a culinary course. I complained, but mom was inflexible. I hate this course. There are "homeworks", so I spend good part of my free time including saturday mornings in the course or in the kitchen wearing a cute frilly apron (gotta wear it). Itll be like !. for one month more

when my parents were away, my grandma took care of us. My mom said she´ll trust me again if I take my punishment without rebelling and show her I'm decided to change. I won't rebel and have alredy chaged. But, isnt that culinary course and the frilly apron a bit overboard?

Thank you lucky stars because you've got a good mom. Considering you can't completely say what you know did wrong you are probably getting off easy. Anyway a month goes fast so don't freak out about an apron.

Sorry about that. Must be a bummer. My first reaction as a parent is that I can well understand your mom's reaction. Her measures do sound a bit drastic but I'm not there and don't know what kind of kid you are. You sound very rational and like a good kid.
Here's the problem. Kids your age have brains that aren't developed to the point that you realize the consequences of your actions. For instance, you may well not realize the danger you were in when you "messed up." I know you are impatient to be "free" and an adult with all the rights and privileges.
Tell your mother you realize that trust must be earned and offer to earn it and ask her if the two of you can come up with a plan other than having to wear a frilly apron for another month.

Just deal with it. It sounds like your parents care about you, and part of proving trust is taking responsibility for your actions and accepting the consequences. Its not like you'll be punished forever, and really it isn't that bad. Maybe you'll learn something from the courses.

accept your punishment and be glad she loves you. Prove to her, over time, that yes, you can be trusted and that you learned from your mistake. Enjoy the time with your mom now, you are creating wonderful memories for the both of you. A lot of folks do not have that chance

the apron is a bit much....but as for the classes I'd take them in a heart beat! And for everything else you got what you were asking for! Suck it up and take it!

For punishment, it doesn't sound that bad. I think it could be worse. Just deal with it for the time being, and it will be over before you know it. What exactly did you do?

Your parents are doing what´s best for you, believe it. It´s not always the case, but, from what you say, it´s true in this case.
It´s OK to talk about it though, it helps you deal with it better.

Perhaps next time you'll follow the rules in place instead of selfishly doing what you want and running over your grandma.

You reap what you sow. Suck it up, take the punishment and learn from it.

Cop it sweet. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse.
