Is it better to tell someone bad news when they are in a good or bad mood?

Question

i have to tell my mom some news that will make her mad at me but i don't know if i should tell her when shes in a good mood or bad.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :]

Answer 1

It won't make a difference, I would just tell her as soon as possible and get it over with.

Answer 2

Your going to p**s her off anyways, so it doesn't matter, the outcome will be the same.  Just tell her, stop procrastinate and take your punishment like a kid.

Answer 3

Well, I suggest that you pick a time when she's in good mood and is able  to listen to you without interruption and (hopefully) judgement. Good luck on whatever the news is!

Answer 4

Well, that would depend on what the news is and what your mom is like when she is happy and mad. Different outcomes could happen. If she is in a good mood and you tell her the bad news she could immediately change to be angry, but you might have a slight buffer here (again this all depends). If she is mad and you tell her, then the wrath of a double angry mother could happen.

Either way it sounds as if you have to tell her. The best way is to not think when it would be more beneficial for you, but to sit down and tell her what is going on. I am sure she loves you enough that she could be rightfully upset, but she is not going to stop loving you. Just be open and honest.

Answer 5

dang thats actually kinda hard

if she's in a bad mood it'll make it worse

then if she's in a good mood it'll hurt

so i really cant say....
