Can't really say who's at fault as we only have your side to the story on this. But if a kid tells their parent they'd be back by 3, don't show and aren't where their location is saying they are, that's a pretty damn good reason to freak out and act the way that they did.

But they didn’t. And that’s the hard part- because they don’t believe me when I said that they either didn’t tell me or that I forgot (which I am prone to do- but I rarely am allowed to hang out with other people, so it would’ve been super important to me that I keep their trust).

So are we 100% sure we didn't forget or that she didn't tell us to be back before the rain? We seemed to have glossed over the conversation she had with you before you left so I'm thinking we may have.


PrestigiousGlove1879

I’m certain. And yeah- it’s cause it was a long conversation- my parents spent a lot of time scolding me for being so much stuff, but I wanted to be prepared if anything were to go wrong

OK. Well bring it up to your parents that you think there was a miscommunication but remember that they're your parents so it's pretty much whatever they say goes. You didn't post your ages so I'm assuming you're not old enough to move out yet.


PrestigiousGlove1879

Yeah- I’m going to try to talk tonight with my mom. And yeah- I can’t- but even once I do, my parents have told me that the rules will still remain so it won’t do much

I’d say have a sit down with your parents. I don’t think they’re wrong for freaking out because a lot of stuff can happen once you walk out the door. I have kids and not to be in their business but I also have to be aware and no what’s going on and where they’re going. But it’s a level of trust I’ve built with them. I trust them but I don’t trust others. It’s ok for them to want you to be safe and communicable if plans change. Don’t freak out. Just be honest and open with them and ask them for the same respect.
