Please help me!!! mum problems, why is she so mad??

Question

Well basically,

My phone broke ages ago and the other day we took it to get mended at a shop. My mum paid a £10 deposit and the woman said it would be deducted off of the final bill ( if it can actually be fixed) So a few days before i asked my dad if i could have new phone for passing my french gcse with a*. He said he would think about it then speak to my mum. So when my mum took my phone to be fixed i didnt want to ask her baout a new phone becuase i knew should would just say " i have made the journey here to fix your phone and all you can think about tis getting a new phone" so i didnt ask her.

Then this morning my dad said to my mum could i get a new phone and my mum went mental. she started screaming and shouting saying that why did i watch her take my phone to get fixed when i had already asked my dad if i could have a new one. the only reason i didnt ask her is becuase i knew she would go mad if i did ask her if i could have a new phone.

yes, so what should i do ??/

Answer 1

She sounds like shes mad because she went out of her way spending money on getting a phone fixed that it turns out you don't even want fixed and would rather have a new one..maybe try better communication with your mother and that may help her out.

Answer 2

I understand why your mom got upset but i have been in situations similar to this. you didnt want to say anything after she fixed it but before she fixed it you didnt think of getting a new phone. i think you should apologize and wait a while. keep the phone she fixed then in a few months, ask for the new one. if she is reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mad, just wait it out. she will get over it eventually.

Answer 3

well, she is mad because all her efforts to get your old cell pho e repaired have gone to waste. if you had spoken to her about the new phone BEFORE talking to your dad, probably she would not have been so upset. its like you doing something on the sly and conspiring with your dad behind her back. she feels betrayed. its an ego issue. you chose to speak about your desires to your dad, while she thought she was the one you are closer to. she thought she was doing somthing that you wanted [repairing th e old cell] but actually you wanted somthing else. she thinks you have made a fool out of her.moreover the travelling and repairing expenses too might be of concern to her.

a lot of complicated mommy stuff. maybe you will understand when you become a mommy. but for now dont fret.....

go to her, say sorry, say ythat you had not planned it to be this way. you meant to talk to her first, but since dad was around when the thought struck you, you asked him . do let her know that it was an impulsive acct on your part and you didn't mean to offend her

Answer 4

to be honest it was a bit cheeky to get you mum to fix your broken phone if you were gonna ask for a new one - y not just ask for the new one in the 1st place using the A* in french as an excuse. Your mum is upset coz she made the effort to get ur phone fixed and she spent money on it. just apologise to her and explain you made an error of judgement on the whole thing. tell her you love her and do something nice - and she will come around!!
