i did apoligize 3 hrs after it happened when i cooled off but i still want to show her that i will not do anything like that again and that what i said does not reflect on how i feel about her. This whole thing had been weighing on me for the past 2 days.

WOW how old are u? I did the same thing when I was 16 and my god did I feel like a piece of crap afterwards... U need to apologize, I don't think shes mad at what u said I think she's more hurt off of what u said... regardless if she was wrong in the arguement or not thats still not something u say to ur mom I found that out when I saw the hurt in my moms eyes and by the sound of what u wrote u know it was wrong so make it right and talk to her about it just let her know u didn't mean it u were just so frustrated!

Ur mom is the only BEST FRIEND u'll ever have she will be the 1 ALWAYS there 4 u!!

The hardest thing for a child to do is understand that a parent has feelings. You hurling an insult like that to her probably hurt her feelings first of all and shocked her second. It's hard for a mom to hear a child say something like that, so her not talking to you is probably her way of avoiding any other unhelpful arguments.

You should definitely tell your mother how you feel, honestly. She deserves your honesty but as your mother, the woman who raises you and gave birth to you, she deserves your respect above all else.

Tell her you are not sorry for how you felt but that you are sorry for the insult. It's hard to swallow pride, but do you want to be right or to be understood?

This is how I look at it. You are supposed to love your parents, I don't doubt for a second that you don't love your mom. But some parents are difficult, if your mom was being a ***** then so be it. At least you told her and was honest about it. Maybe she will think about it and why you said it. I am not endorsing that kids are right to abuse and mistreat their parents but sometimes it takes a loved one to point out our downfalls. Parents are not always right and they are not always wrong either. Just apologize and converse in a more appropriate manner, if she gets catty- then leave.

You should apologize to her as soon as possible. Whether you agree with her or not she is her mother and she deserves respect. It is not a matter of sucking up to her, it is a fact that she is your mother and as long as you live in her house she is the rule.

I imagine going for 2 days not talking is as painful for her as it is for you. After you apologize for calling her that word why don't you ask her if you can just sit down and talk about why the two of you are having so much trouble communicating. If you are sincere when you ask her I think you will find her receptive to talking.

Good luck to you

Were you my child, you would be getting up off the floor by now. Furthermore, as long as you were living in my house, you would show me respect, whether I was stubborn or not. As for sucking up, you would either do as I asked, or get the heck out of my house. No way am I going to provide a place to live for a child who disrespects me. You're very fortunate to have a mother who does!

I laughed when I read this. I know it's not funny, but when you look back on these things they do have their amusing aspects.

I agree with the others, you should apologize. You hurt your mother deeply. This is the person who wiped the **** off your butt for years, who spent 100s of hours getting you dressed, bathing you, feeding you, cleaning up after you, buying stuff for you, and you call her a *****. "Disrespect" doesn't cover it.

One of my sons (who once called me a *****) would tell you that you are lucky you got out of this with 2 days of not talking.

You are so lucky that you didn't say this to my ex. You would still rubbing your face. First thing, you need to apologize to your mother for disrespecting her. Next, you need to talk with your mother more about what is going on in your life. The good and bad that is happening, so she know how you are thinking about things. I'm sure she is worried about you and your choices you are making. Right now, you are making choices in your life that can become life altering that you may not realize. I'm sure your mom has been through what you are going through and has made many mistakes, so she can help you avoid making life altering mistakes. It is her job to make you the best person she can. Help her do so. Good luck and God bless.

You need to call her up and make a heartfelt apology. That is the only way you can begin to patch things up. Don't expect her to forgive you right away either, as that was a very mean name to call her. It's not sucking up to just call and admit that you were wrong to call her a name like that. Just acknowledge that you have some work to do on your relationship, but you're willing to try.

Wow~ You goofed. Doesn't matter at all if you get angry or not. Your mother is your mother. She gave you life. Get on the phone and call her NOW and apologize. My mother has been dead for 5 years. You will and are regretting it now or else you would have not asked the question. End the nonsense, show her you are mature and call her. Doesn't matter what you think about sucking up to her. Just do it.
