My mom said she was getting me a ceel phone for my birthday, now she is saying she isnt because I am a b-word?

Question

Do you think this is wrong, it was my birthday gift, and she said she would get it for me.

regardless of what I do, don't you think that she is obligated to give it to me.

And I haven't honestly been acting that bad, I never sneak out, never get detentions or suspended. I respect all my teachers, because they give me reasons to respect them. I treat everyone as well as I can, and I do admit that I can be a bit of a drama queen at times, but not enough to have this taken from me.

Do you think this is right?

Answer 1

I honestly agree with you. My personal opinion is that i think she should give you the present regaurdless because its your BIRTHDAY the day that she got YOU! she should be thankful. But go apologize to her or just let things blow over, and im sure everything will work out perfectly.

Answer 2

You need to talk to your mother.  She is not obligated to give you a cell phone.

"And I haven't honestly been acting that bad...but not enough to have this taken from me.

Do you think this is right?"

That's your interpretation and not hers.  You need to have a civil talk with her (assuming she'll be civil too).  You need to mention how you understand that while she didn't give you a phone, it was confusing for you when she agreed to get you one and didn't follow through.  Ask her ppolitely ifif there was a financial reason for this because you don't understand why she used a perojative against her own child.

Answer 3

no. she doesn't have to give it you, parents can change their minds if they don't think you were "good' enough or didn't follow through on promises you made...BUT you can still try to talk to her about it. Try to get ahold of her when she is in a good mood and ask her why she thinks you have been behaving badly. Perhaps you can work it out.

Answer 4

She can do whatever she wants.  You do not need a cell phone anyway.  When you can afford to get one on your own, then you can get one.

Answer 5

SHOW YOUR MOM RESPONSIBILITY AND TELL HER THAT YOU DON'T APPRECIATE HER TELLIN YOU SHE'S GONNA GET SOMETHIN FOR YOU AND NOT GET IT  

Answer 6

As a parent and adult you can do whatever you want but if you want a good relationship with your child you have to treat them with respect and that means telling your child why you took something away. Calling a child the b-word is not only unproductive but disrespectful. Politely state your case that you want to know why this has happened as you cannot learn from your mistakes if you don't know what the mistake is. Express to her your feelings about being called the b-word honestly, politely and calmly. I really hope this works out.

Answer 7

Dude, get a hold of yourself. She isn't OBLIGATED to get you shlt for you birthday!! Are you guys rich? Maybe she didn't have enough money to buy you one after she said she would, and she was embarrassed to tell you so she made something up. The very fact that you think she is obligated  shows that your statement 'I can be a BIT of a drama queen' is an understatement.
