Before Xmas I didn't think, went to a mall with some friends, forgot to ask my mom, had to ask her to pick me there. I didn't do anything bad, but sure made a mess. I apologized, mom was nice but gave me a lesson. Next day I had to stay home doing some chores. Mom made me put on a cute frilly apron and told me to keep it on. I didn't complain, I know I messed up, my mom treated me with love and it was a light punishment. My parents were at work and I stayed home doing my chores. It happened that 3 of mom's fellows, ladies, came home that afternoon and since mom was out I had to help them . I didn't know if I was allowed to take off my apron to receive them and I didn't think it'd be Ok to call her at her job, so I didn't take it off. They laughed, said I looked cute in it, asked what I was doing and I told the truth. I got embarrassed. When I told mom she laughed too, said there was no problem, gave me a big hug and kisses. But in those ladie's place what would u think of me?

Your a good kid and doing what your Mother said. They wouldn't think of you any less and don't be embarrassed! (easier said than done.) They probably reported back to your Mother all the good details about how good of a child you really are!

Embarrassment is part of life and actually has a benefit; it will remind us that we do not want to feel that way again and so we won't make the same mistake.
Far better to be embarrassed at home, surrounded by family, than to be shamed at school or in the workplace. It feels awful now. I'm grateful for the lessons my parents taught me because the adult world is far harsher than anything my folks could hand out. At this point, try to suck it up and move on. There's more ahead of you and any lessons you can glean from this will be helpful in the future. Good luck to you little darling...

It sounds as though you are embarrassed but not because of the apron. Having to admit that you made a mistake is very difficult. Accepting the punishment with grace (which sounds like you did) is also difficult. As difficult as it is, it is a charactistic of a good person. Making mistakes and accepting the consequences is a good trait to have and people respect it. Don't be embarrassed, just consider it a lesson learned.

I would not let it bother you too much. I am sure they just saw it for what it was, a young girl that made a mistake and accepted her punishment. You obviously learned a lesson, and i am sure you won't want to repeat it. Your mom did a good job, be glad you have a mom that cares enough to teach you proper life lesson. Now let her know you understand why she did it and that you learned from it. Give her a hug and I am sure it will be forgotten. Best wishes to you!!

Why do you care what somebody else thinks of you? Think about it....you have NOTHING to be embarrassed about, other than the fact that you did something without getting permission first. But since you asked, I would appreciate / respect the fact that you were being mature enough to admit you were wrong and obediently accept the consequences of your actions. You're very young, but I hope you will always remember that you get what you give: if you show respect for others, they will have respect for you. Continue being respectfully obedient to your parents, regardless of what anybody else thinks. It will eventually prove to them that you are mature and will most likely allow them to give you more freedom / trust when you get to your final high school years.

don't be so harsh on your self, your mom has already forgiven and forgotten all approximately it, she is by no skill a making a large deal out of it, so save on along with her occasion and forgive your self the two quickly. existence is basically too short to wreck over such small incidences. Her pals ought to have stumbled on you finding too cute in that apron, so they laughed it off, why no longer you too do a similar and snicker it off! however the important ingredient could be to remember the lesson, yet certainly it’s time to forget approximately the incident.

Just get over it. Or if you want, ask your mom if she still is mad at you or something. But it's over now isn't it? I mean your mom's friends didn't take pics of you and aren't going to show your friends, so just get over it.

You were lucky and seem like good kid. My daughter might have gotten spanked. Now that would have even more embarrassing!

the embarrassment is extra punishment and it should keep you from making the same mistake again
