If you were my mom, what would you have done?

Question

I stayed overnight at a friend's house without telling her (I was a little the worse for wear and fell asleep). She was really frantic and even phoned the cops.I'm 17. So next day I had to face the music. What would you have done in my mom's place? Best Answer for whoever

gets closest lol.

Answer 1

well.....um.... i wouldve calld u before panicking  

Answer 2

being a male and not a parent, i cannot submit an answer.

d**n sounds like my mom was... that just sucked for me when i was a teen.  

Answer 3

I would have been very worried but at the end of the day you are 17 and therefore an adult in the sense that you can decide for yourself where you go, what you do. But i would have told your mum where you were. You know you're safe but your mum would have been frantic with worry. I have a little girl she is only 3 just now but she is my world and i would hope she grows up to be sensible and be able to talk to me. Keep close to your mum, she only wants the best for you =]

Answer 4

my son did this to me when he was 15 many years ago,i did what your mum did ,and he never did it again

Answer 5

u need to be spanked.

Answer 6

I would of asked you where you were,wat you were doing and why didnt u pone

Answer 7

Yes, I'd be frantic too..and I would also have called the police- there are too many incidences of young men and women disappearing off the face of the earth for any mum to rest easy.

I'd have been very angry at you for putting me through this, but I'd have reasoned it out with you, treating you as an adult, and giving my reasons why I was frantic- my son is 16, and has done this only once!

Answer 8

Well, I would have also phoned the cops. I would have also called all of your friends and relatives.

When you finally got phone, I would give you a lecture. Then I would take away your phone, computer, TV, and car. You would stay in your room and only would come out to eat or use the bathroom. You wouldn't be able to leave the house without me, unless you were going to school or work. Your punishment would probably last a month or so.

Than you wouldn't be allowed to sleepover friends house and you'd need to be home by 11.

Answer 9

I would have called all your friends, called the cops, taken away your priveleges when you got home. Grounded you for a week. Set a tighter curfew, bought you a really kiddish cell phone like a firefly and program so you can only call me and given you a HUGE lecture make you tell me where you are going no matter when or where you are, call me every 30 minutes or hour when you are out and then cried because I'd just be so happy you were ok.  

Answer 10

What? You didnt tell your mom you where staying at a friends house? Your mom called the cops on you? I would have done the same thing and then when you got home taken everything away from you including car keys and grounded you until further notice

Answer 11

I would have been pretty friggin' annoyed, after all she had absolutely no idea where you were or who you were with. In her mind, anything could have happened to you.

Just try and be a little more careful and make sure your Mom has a rough idea of where you are :]

Oh and I suggest you invest in a mobile!

Answer 12

I would have cried and hugged you and been relieved you were ok!

Then i would have grounded you for a week and not let you have any treats! Oh and i would buy you a mobile so this can not happen again!

Answer 13

you are your mum's most precious thing in life...so it's natural she was frantic...you should have phoned your mum & told her.  if that were my daughter's...i would have just had words the next day & told them never to do it again...i wouldn't have punished them.

Answer 14

Wrong  my dear. If you behave like a spoilt brat then that is exactly how you should be treated.  

Answer 15

i would probably ground you for a few weeks to a month and take your privileges away from you.

hope this helps good luck.

Answer 16

If your mom couldn't get in contact with you all night, why would you even blame her for freaking out?  I understand you're only a year away from being of legal age but if you live under her roof, then you need to respect her and follow her rules.  It's common courtesy to let her know if at all possible that you won't be home all night, even if you're 21 or older and you still live in her home.  

Answer 17

I would give you a stern talking-to, and if I believed you, I would just warn you, if I didn't I would ground you for a week.

At least this gives you the chance to tell her you need a cell.

Answer 18

I would have been pissed off and would have taken your mobile phone for a week since you couldnt use it to call me and let me know where you were and then i would have made the  next friday and saturdayday nights "mother daughter" nights where we would play board games, cards, make popcprn and watch DVD's and just spend time together. its better (or worse, depending on how you think about it) than just being grounded.

Answer 19

mom really cares...you should have called from your friends house

Answer 20

she gt worried that u wert lieing in a ditch sumwhere..fort the worst an rang the police..i no ur old enough bein 17 bt she cares about u x
