You lied to someone who loved and cared for you above herself. Your lucky she loves you like she does and punished you. Her job is to raise you to be the best person you can be. Try talking with her about things, and always tell her the truth. If she cannot trust what you tell her, how can she trust you?

3 months sounds like a very stern punishment, but without knowing what you lied about, this question is difficult to answer. My daughter just got grounded too. Last semester, she was getting all A's and one B. This week was progress report time, and her A in science has fallen to a D. Her A in band fell to a C. She didn't get grounded for that, but she lost her tv from her room. Then the next day, she snuck her ipod to school with her (she knew she was not allowed to take it to school), so she got grounded for that. Now, until her homework is finished (and i see it) and her chores are done, she cannot have her ipod or cell phone. And until she brings her grades up she cannot go to school dances, have overnights, or do overnights. She feels like I ruined her life. But the point is, part of restricting kids and setting these rules and boundaries, is to keep them inline, and teach them responsibility. Every rule set at home, and every chore you are expected to do, is there to prepare you for becoming an adult. If you break the rules at home and get away with it, without punishment, you would be more likely to break laws of your state when you grow up. I know it sucks, but that's life. Take your punishment, and start earning back her trust. Follow the rules. Learn from your mistakes.

It must have been serious enough of a lie to get grounded for three months. First talk to your mom about why you lied. Have a open and honest discussion. Gaining back her trust in you will take time. Show her you are serious about gaining back her trust. Be honest with her and in time she will trust you again

allthough its wrong to lie at all its a complete fantasy to say that we never lie but i strongly believe the one person in the world you should never ever lie to is yr mom..she knows you better than anyone...if i were you id take my punishment but at the same time id go tell yr mom how sorry you are.....and that you understand why she grounded you......she will learn to trust you more when you start acting a lot more responsible

Most parents don't understand why their child would lie to them. They want you to be able to come to them with anything. I know they can be condemning but you will never understand how much they love you until you have your own. Children will never love their parents the way their parents love them. You did not come with instructions and raising children is kind of like learning as you go. She loves you. If she didn't she would not bother. Serve the three months and don't do it again.

3 months,wow that's must have been a real do-ze of a lie. Not much we can say or do to help,sounds like you dug this hole yourself.Trust is something you earn,so start doing things that will earn your mothers trust back,and it won't be easy,nor a one thing deal,you will have to work on it.
Sorry about your luck kiddo.

I agree that it must have been pretty bad for you to
be grounded for 3 months!!
You have got to really prove to your mom that you
are sorry (hopefully you are). Build her trust in you
again. Because if she has lost trust, she must be
hurting with disappointment.

I hate it when people lie to me, after a while you aren't sure of anything what they are saying to you is either true or a damn lie. You deserved it. Don't lie, in the long term, you will regret being a liar all the time.

Your lie proved to her that you are not trustworthy. If you want to gain her trust back it will take time. You now have to prove to her that you will not be untrustworthy anymore. Throw in doing some dishes and helping her out to prove that you are truly sorry and that you are maturing.

I would suggest doing as many good deeds you can..3 months is a long time...I seriously doubt she will hold you to that..I'm sure she will forget if you find nice things to do to "impress" her..
