How do i tell my mom...HELP!?

Question

Okay so this morning i went to cheer camp and three hours later when i came home, i realized my straightener was on and i have a burn mark in my carpet. I am so scared. I have cut the top a little to get the black marks and i have tried to use out stain remover but its not working! :( how do i tell my mom...do i tell her or just let her find it. Please help me. I am 15.

Answer 1

Just tell her the truth straight away. She will appreciate your honesty. It's better for you to own up to your actions and show that you're responsible rather than your mother finding the burn mark herself. If you don't tell her now, she may not be able to trust you in the future with more important things. You'll feel so much better when you tell your mom what happened. Be completely honest. She'll understand that everyone makes mistakes. What's most important is that you had the guts to admit that you did something wrong and that'll prevent this from ever happening again.

Good luck =]

Just tell her, she will be more mad if she finds it on her own. Just say mom I messed up and when I left this morning I left my straightener on and it burnt the carpet.

Answer 10

Answer 15

dont. if she ask, be honest

Answer 16

Just tell her it was an accident....She's gonna have to find out anyway.

Answer 17

If that is burn you cannot do anything to take it off, cutting it might get your mom angry. Talk to your Mom tell her before she finds out. That the best think you can you tell her you've been excited for the camp and didn't realize you forget the straightener on the carpet.

She might get mad but that just normal

Answer 18

Be honest, explain to her what happened she'll be a lot angrier if she finds it herself and you didn't tell her.

Answer 19

Tell her.If she finds it she will be angrier because you kept it from her.Just wait until she's in a good mood & then tell her what happened.Apologise,say it will never happen again and tell her she can take money out your allowance every month so that she can buy a new one

Answer 20

be honest or she wont appreciate your lies.

Answer 21

If it's only small you might be able to cover it with a rug, or some conviently placed papers or something. Otherwise you'll just have to tell her. There will be no point getting angry with you because the damage is already done, and I'm guessing from your question that you won't let it happen again!!!

Good luck x

Answer 22

Just tell her the truth. She's going to find out anyway, and you will get into even more trouble for lying.

Answer 23

I would deffinatly tell her and say it won't happen again and if worse comes to worse start sobbing.

she'll appreciate your honesty and know she can trust you in the future, i know my mom would rather me tell her a horrible truth then a lie.

maybe start off with. "hey how would you feel about being a grandmother!!" and then be like "just kidding, but guess what. the carpet is burnt..." maybe you can even get a new straightener with a timer on it out of the deal.

Answer 24

Just say mum I am really sorry but I burnt a whole in the carpet, whatever you do, don't leave her to find it because that is when you will truely be scared.

Answer 25

go ahead and tell what happen let her know it was just an accident she should understand.

Answer 26

You're f**ked - Get out of the house. Run. Don't turn back.

Either that or spend the rest of your life with FRIZZY hair because you are not to be trusted with heated electrical appliances. OMG it doesn't bare thinking about - what would the girls at school say if you didn't straighten your AFRO.

ew.

Answer 27

Just be honest and up front with her ..... You cannot get burn marks out with stain remover.  Tell her  you are sorry , but be honest and tell her.

Answer 28

tell her.
