i dont know what to do now!?

Question

okay i stole my dads credit card number so that i could go to this concert with my friends, but it got out of control and i ordered like band tshirts and cds and all and i think it all added up and cos about $500! now! i never thought it would go this far, i cant believe i did it! . and the bill hasnt come yet, i told my mom about it and she said its not the end of the world and they can pay it but my dad is not like my mom he will get very mad and he might even want to beat me up for this [which i totally understand though!] and i am scared, i feel so guilty and dont know how i can make it up to him, it is going to take me a long time to find a job, and i cant concentrate on my school work anymore these days i keep thinking what i am going to do. i feel very guilty and will never do this again but i dont know how i can fix my mistake!! i can send the stuff back maybe but on some of them it says they is no exchange or refund. i dont know what do do!! ='(

i will tell him. i hope he wont be very mad and if he does he has every right to be. i have learned my lesson , and im planning to do chores around the house, or i will suggest they dont buy me anything for at least 3 months so it will make up for the amount of money they had to spend because of me. and also i could try finding a job, if i can, and pay it back monthly.

Answer 1

Ok, you have things in prespective. Confess your sin to your Dad now. If he is mature enough eh will understand and forgive, although you may beon probabation until you can pay back this error in judgement.
And that is what it was: A simple error in judgement.

Answer 2

Easy five-point plan

1. Tell your dad before the bill comes - he'll be twice as angry if he gets the bill first!
2. Send back what you can get refunds for and sell the rest on ebay - give the money to him!
3. Get a part-time job if you can. If you can't get a job, offer to do specific chores for him or the neighbours (at a rate agreed by him) until the balance is cleared - valet the car, mow the lawn, clean the windows, do the household laundry - there are lots of jobs you could do.
4. Don't use this as an excuse for slacking off at school - decide what you will do, do it and then forget about it once the debt's paid off.
5. Remember this useful lesson for the rest of your life - there's no such thing as a free party.

By the way, of course your mom will be more relaxed about it - it's not on her credit card!
Your dad might surprise you by being very reasonable once he sees that you really intend to make amends.

Answer 3

Your biggest problem is not the $. The problem is your lack of character and self-control and destroying whatever trust your dad may have had in you. Be mature and take responsibility. Figure out solutions to the problems you created and very soon, sit down with your dad and a third party (mom, for instance.) Apologize and tell him how you are going to repay the money. Also have a plan for being a trustworthy person. He'll be mad, but it will go better than if he finds out first some other way.

Answer 4

Start by returning the stuff that can be returned, and I don´t see why it would take you a long time to find a part time job, go put in applications at Mcdonalds or BurgerKing, just find any job so that you pay back your dad. And promise him you will pay back every penny. He has every reason to be upset. Maybe your mom can talk to him first about what you did, she can calm him down. Then you talk to him apologize and explain what youre going to do to pay him back.

Answer 5

Wow, That was a nice lesson you learned right? Well, first of you need to talk to your dad before he gets the credit card statement. Admit fault and explain how you feel.....what you learned and most important.....what are you gonna do to pay him back? Chores? Part time job? Once your Dad sees how much you learned from this things should simmer down. Parents love you unconditionally......

Answer 6

Return whatever is possible to return, to be credited back to your dad's account. If you're too young to get a job, then do any and all work around the house to work off your debt. Once you fully explain to your dad, and he's able to see how very sorry and sincere you are, he will hopefully be better able to understand and accept your mistake.

Answer 7

ok, so you done wrong, big time, you know that, and its great you got your mom on your side here, but you need to explain to her how this is makin you feel, and both of you tell your dad before the bill comes in, that way he wont feel you both been lying to him, making this even worse, and you no longer need to live with the dread hanging over you, its gonna come out. get it over and done with, it will be better coming from you than him finding out through the post, good luck

Answer 8

Take every odd job that you can get to babysitting, lawn mowing, garden weeding, driveway shoveling, car washing etc, etc, etc. You have every right to feel guilty now let's see if you are able to man up and make restitution for your extremely selfish and underhanded behavior. First things first go to your father and tell him the exact truth.

Answer 9

First of all WHAT THE F**K WERE YOU THINKING! Never steal from your parents. Talk to your mom and tell her she can tell your dad or he's just going to find out for himself when he gets the bill. Then go get the belt...lol

Answer 10

Tell your Dad, i know it is going to be hard, but he will have more respect that you came and "Fessesd" up. I hope you take my advice. He might not act as calmly if he sees the bill.
