My Mom, and I had a argument on Saturday. I then left the house, and both did she and we both went to two different places for the day.. We both came home late Saturday, and ever since then my Mom completely ignores me when I try to talk with her. How can I get my Mom to stop giving me the silent treatment

Just because you have simmered down and are ready to talk does not necessarily mean she is ready. If she won't talk to you then get her a card and write a quick note to her. Fix her dinner or something and call a truce. She may just need more time before she is ready to talk about it.
Good luck

I'm not sure your age, but since you left after an arguement I'm guessing you are at least over 16 or 17. Also, I'm not sure what the fight was about, either. But it sounds like both you and your mom reacted a little childish. And possibly you said or did something that really hurt her if she still isn't speaking to you. Instead of trying to talk with her right now, try writing your thoughts down in a letter for her. It is sometimes one of the best ways of communicating, or in your case maybe the only way. Don't be harsh. Explain why you said what you said. Tell her how you feel and how her reactions made you feel. Apologize and make it count. Be adult and don't point fingers and be open minded. When someone won't listen to you a letter allows you to write down your feeleings without having to let the other person's reactions blur your thoughts. I hope this can be fixed. Your mom should be very important to you. Good luck.

Maybe put it in writing or a voice message or an email. Try everything to get your point across.
Unless you both said some really hurtful things to each other - then maybe you both need some space & time apart, it could be healthy to have time to rethink what was said.

Show up with flowers, that helps to melt the heart. Perhaps write her a letter trying to rectify the situation. Then just keep trying, time will heal wombs.

Confront her about the fight.
i dopn't know details so use your best judgment,
Did you maybe disrespect her in some way. weather you think you did or not. Did some action you did CONSTITUTE as dis-respect in her eyes?
Ask her what you did, and confront her.
Mother's are fragile with their children, exspecially son's.
I know my brother has dis-respected and hurt my mom enought that she refuses to look at him as her son.
Don't let that happen between you two

Say: "Hi Mom, love ya!"
No mother can resist that! Unless you did something that would cause her to disown you, that is. Whatever you argued about obviously upset her, so just be mindful of her feelings. She is your mom remember, so show some respect!

Good for you for apologizing, that 's very mature. Stay back and let her have some time to get over it. When I get really really mad at my son, it may take me a few days, or a few weeks to get over it. I still love him during that time, I just don't want to talk to him. She still loves you. Be your usual charming self, she won't be able to stay mad for long.

well that's ridiculous to begin with she's the mother and she's acting like the child i think.just tell her ignoring you isn't going to help this talking it out is if she still doesn't talk then just stop trying i guess and let her come out of this childish behavior herself sounds like she wants attention instead of visa versa

Give her the cool down period, then do something nice for her. Show her that you appreciate her.
And you're a great kid that you even care!! Mom's get mad, we get over it. Don't worry!
