[QUOTE="gummyroach, post: 2263937, member: 271887"] I don't see where your question is a survey or a poll, but I'll take a crack at your question. I'm glad you were caught in the act! How long would you have continued this behavior otherwise? Now you have the perfect opportunity to turn things around. At least you admitted you made some poor choices. It's not a good idea to cuss at your parents or to hit or shove them. Of course this is only going to escallate the problem. Grounded til November, huh? I hope he stands his ground on that. Maybe that sounds mean-sprited, but a good parent keeps his or her word, and does not back down. You can't change things overnight. It's going to take some time for things to cool off and blow over. Wait for the dust to settle, and then work at rebuilding your trust between you and your dad, a little bit at a time. When you feel things have cooled down enough to have a civil conversation with him, invite him to talk to you about what happened. Hopefully he will grant you time to tell him your side of the story as well. Hopefully the two of you can call a truce, learn from this, and move on. I can't answer your question as to whether or not you are a brat. Only you can answer that. If you think that you are one, or if you think that you are not, you are probably right! It's not what we think that matters, it's what YOU think. Hopefully the purpose of your question on here wasn't to gain sympathy and have someone go "Awww..... poor baby." Take responsibility for your actions. Admit your mistakes, learn from them, pay the piper when necessary, and then move on. [/QUOTE]
