What should i do here??

Question

Okay, so last week, my dad told me he was going to buy me a car this monday, and i cant explain how happy ive been. But tonight/yesterday, i asked to borrow his to go out to my girlfriends house. I parked there and then we left to go down town with some friends to go eat. and my curfew is 12:00. So we left around 10:50 to make sure i would be back at her house in time to leave. But we got lost for like 3 housrs.. and in the process of this i lost my phone. Which i had allready told my parent i might be like 20 minutes late, but that was before i knew we would be lost for soooo long. I lost my phone and couldent see all the calls my parents had been making in order to see why i wasent home. By the time i got back to my girlfriends house it was allready like 1:50ish.. and when i went to call my parents to tell them i was back at her house, i noticed i lost my phone, so i got in the car and rushed home.. but when i got there they were waiting, and verrrrrrry angry, i told them the whole story, but they said that they werent going to buy me a car or let me borrow theirs any more. :(

i dont know what to do, the whole night was an accident, and no matter how i explain it they are just mad anyways.

Anyone know what i should do?

Answer 2

So you knew you were already nearly two hours late, but it didn't occur to you to look for your phone right away , say actually AT midnight?

Oh, and you called your parents when you knew you might be late - but then somehow lost your phone while you were still in the car driving.

Yeah, right. I'd ground you too, double for lying. And I'd lay money you've mysteriously found the phone again.

Answer 3

Youll just have to wait and if your parents are nice and understand theyll buy you the car. Or have them call your friends parents.

Answer 4

Parents tend to be like that. They will cool off after a while. They were really worried about you, and they're just not sure whether you can be trusted or not. They will soon realise that you can be trusted and will buy you a car. I guess you can't really do much, you just have to show them that you can be trusted. Parents can be really soft sometimes, so after a while, they'll feel a bit guilty for shutting out all your explanations.

I hope all works well.

Answer 5

Just give it a little time.  Chances are it will blow over.  In the meantime, have a conversation with them, explain how it all happened, and hope for the best.
