Ok this morning my sister woke up and told me it was 6:45, and usually i have to finish showering and dressing by 7:00. So i didnt wash my hair or anything, and i took a quick shower with only soap. Well when i got out, a i realized it was still only 6:00!! I got mad at my sister, who was taking a leisurely bath, and went and said a few choice curses that i won't name here. Well i was right outside my bathroom, and then i saw my MOM. RIGHT. BEHIND. ME. She had just woke up and was walking downstairs. She just had a tiny mad (mostly sleepy)face on, and kept walking downstairs. I just looked at her guiltly. Now i feel horrible. She has stress problems, and she hates it when my sister and i fight. And as it turns out, i had only misunderstood my sister. She said it was 5:45!! What do i do to make it up, or what do i say 2 her?? She mite not say anything about it..whatdo i do then??

I'm a mom, with two girls, one is 20 and one is 15.
I would rather not rehash it. I dont want to or need to rediscuss this situation.
I would ask my daughters if i was to bring it up, hey you know what, take a chill pill sometimes. And i realize you two will argue and fight, and i know it's normal. but keep it to a dull roar.
Go give your mom a big hug tell her you love her and move on with the day. There are more important things in the world to worry about then this.

Just say "I'm sorry, I misunderstood my sister I thought she said it was 6:45 not 5:45 and got angry at her for lying when, in fact, she didn't lie." Then, rather than making it a big deal and apologizing a million times, get up early again tomorrow (now that you're on that schedule) AND give your mother breakfast in bed the next morning and if she asks why you did it say "the least I could do is give you one morning without so much stress". :-)

Don't say anything. Ever. To your mom, your sister, etc. Just plant a smile on your face and move on. In fact, just smile anytime your sister does this stuff. Eventually, she'll lose interest.
You see, what she did was stupid. But your reaction takes it from her looking bad to both of you looking bad. You don't react, it stays with her looking bad.
Trust me, this is the best way to make it stop.
Also, you've got to know your mom's stress problems are not your problems. Do not waste your younger years worrying about someone else worrying. You might try to get her to get counseling, but please do not allow her problems to become yours. You need to remained focused on your happiness. I'm sure you've got more going on than to be dragged down by the evil sister and the troubled mom.

Calm down and simply tell her what happened. Apologize for cussing at your sister, tell her that you love her and you will really try to not do that again. Remember, the biggest sign of maturity is to take responsibility for your mistakes and make amends. You'd have less fights with your sister if you didn't assume she was out to get you. Believe me, from a parents perspective, it gets really old.

Apoligize to your mother for waking her up and also, for saying what you did to your sister. Also, apoligize to your sister for your hatefulness, she at least woke you up. Show some respect for your family members, you never know how long you will have them in your life, another thing to think bout when you feel like treating your family bad is that God is watching every move you do.

Just apologize to your sister for the misunderstanding & for your careless behavior. You are both old enough (I'm assuming) to deal with these problems on your own without having your mom fix it for you both. If your mom brings it up just tell her that you and your sister worked everything out like mature adults.

If you're old enough to consider cursing someone so early in the day...I say you're old enough to wake yourself up, that way there is absolutely no confusion. The reasonable thing to do is pay attention. I'm sure you know when your mom is upset....if she doesn't mention it...don't bring it up. No need brining it up if she's only going to get more upset.....she'll give you time to explain if she really wants to hear about it.

tell her that mistakes do happen, but don't say it like i wrote it though, that would cause more problems. it was early in the morning, so she has got to understand that these things do happen.don't worry about it too much,approach her calmly and maybe offer to do her bed for her.
