How do I get my mother to trust me, and to let me off of punishment?

Question

recently I went to a birthday party at my friends house.
And as I was leaving my mother told me to call her "when I got home".
I left and through the course of the night I had a lot of fun.
So much fun that I wasn't paying attention to the time, and we hadn't talked about a specific time I should call just to check in or anything so I figured I would just call later.
It got to be around 2 in the morning when I called the house.
I told my mom that the party hadn't died down and I asked her if I could spend the night because I didn't really see a practical way for me to get home at this time of night.
She got really angry with me and told me that I should just spend the night.
I'm grounded untill my 16th birthday which is may 25th. During my time being grounded I can't hang out with my friends on the weekends or after school..

I get good grades and I'm very good about doing the housework. I tell my parents a lot, which is more than i can say for most teenagers..
why won't she trust me?

Answer 1

so you are 15. hmmmm, I would not of let you go out anyways, so your mom is already a perfect mom in my book. But, none-the-less the punishment is too long.
unless it is your 2 or 3rd offense????

A week or 2 should of done the trick. no phone though.
no internet, no communication with those friends unless at school. Then the next time you will call. if not, then a month without anything. so on so fourth up to 2 months. Then no parties or sleep overs until your next b-day, even if its a year.

rules will be rules. but IF it is your 2,3,4,5etc offense, then do your time!

Just be happy that at age 15 she even trusted you to be out of the house!!! let alone a party!

Answer 2

I've come up with a little program to let my Granddaughter relieve herself of punishments. Maybe you could suggest this program to your mom. It will only work, though if your mom is a Christian, if not, sorry I mentioned this.
When Tori does something wrong, I assign points to the wrong depending on the severity of it and then she is grounded for the length of time those points represent..example 5 points- grounded for the day, but can use the phone, watch TV, etc.,, each 5 points costs her something, and she can get a point for one small slip of the tongue,.....but she can erase a point by reading a chapter of the Bible aloud to me. Not a verse, a chapter.
She had to read 14 chapters to get to go roller skating once.
She can also earn good points, which earn her privileges/money by doing added chores or something special to make my day more pleasant, she has to earn 5 good points and keep those standing to have any extra privileges at all. Maybe you and your mom could discuss a reconciliation program that would put you back in her good graces. Ask your mom what it would take. It takes only a second to destroy a trust, a long, long time to earn it back.
Did you and mom not set a specific time for you to be home and was there not a specified way for you to get home? If you answer yes, your punishment is 100 points, if you answer no, your punishment is 20 points.

Answer 3

Is that the whole story? Youre too young to be at a party till 2 am.

Answer 4

You know deepinside you could of called your mom, but decided not to. Your grounded accepted it it and show her you will follow through with your consequences and not cry about. It will show maturity and responsibility.

Answer 5

seems like theres no way outta this, if ur grounded ur grounded! just giv it time, as long as u remain an obedient child, they may just shorten ur 'grounded' period!

Answer 6
