I'm 24 and my husband and I live next door to my mother and father and also my sister and nephews. We are a close family--we have dinner together at mom's every night and I watch my sister's kids while she works and goes to school. Last night I was checking my voice mail messages (I was expecting a message from drs. office about the results of a preg test) and my mother picked up the extension. I said "mom, hang up" she did. Later when I tried to call her she didn't answer-which was strange. My husband went over to take her some groceries she'd asked for and he asked if everything was ok--she said yes, she just wasn't going to answer the phone anymore. I finally got her to pick up by calling from my sis's house and asked what was wrong. She said I had told her to "hang up the f-ing phone" so she was pissed. She then hung up on me. What am I suppossed to do? She won't speak to me and I can't stand anyone being angry at me--especially my mom! Please, help!

I think you didn't read carefully enough--I said nothing wrong to my mother--just simply "mom, hang up"

Explain what happened an give her a hug. Most problems occur because people don't communicate. Tell her what happened; if you don't it'll just get harder and harder to fix. Be brave and good luck.

Just explain to her that it was a crazy important message that you didnt want to miss and you didnt mean to yell at her. If this type of thing happens a lot, then determine if its you being too "barky" or if she is being too sensitive. If she doesnt try to otherwise control you, then maybe her feelings were genuinely hurt. If she wont answer your phone calls then stand yourself on her porch and serenade her if you have to get her to let you in. *grins* best wishes !!

Her feelings are hurt. And you say your family is close, maybe she knew you were hiding something and that's why she's hurt. Apologize even if you don't feel you have done anything wrong. This is something so petty.
