How Do You Make Your Mom Not Mad At You Anymore?

It sounds like you're in the doghouse, but don't worry because moms can never be mad for too long - of course, how long depends on how badly you've upset her.

However, if you did something really bad to make her angry, there are many ways to get back in to her good books. First things first - give her space. She may need some time to think about what happened and giving her breathing space may allow her to calm down and de-stress. Once you've given her at least half a day (or few days, depending on how bad the situation is), why not ask to talk to her? Many people may not realize this, but by simply sitting down and talking about the situation can help a lot.

You may find that she'll really appreciate it because it will give everyone a chance to get things off their chest and clear the air. The most important thing to remember is to take in what she says. Although you may not agree with it, you can at least try to understand where she is coming from - your mom will really appreciate the fact that you respect her enough to listen to what she has got to say.

Win yourself some brownie points by making her breakfast-in-bed. You don't have to be the best chef in the world - chances are, she'll be so overwhelmed and happy by your efforts that she'll be more willing to forgive and forget sooner than later. If you're not too confident with face-to-face confrontation, you can always write your thoughts and apologize in a card or letter. However, you will have to face up to her at some point, and you can start off with giving her a nice bear hug to help break the ice.

Help out around the house, clean your room, do laundry etc WITHOUT having her tell you to.
If you were wrong, apologize and tell her you love her and appreciate all she does for you
believe me I am a mom

Well, every mother deals with it differently.
Here's what not to do!
1. NEVER start crying in-front of her, it usually just annoys them
2. A lot of you guys have been saying to give money. That is a terrible idea, She's your bloody mum!
3. If your in an argument with her, never start using physical content (may sound weird to some of you people)
4. Don't ignore her

What you should do!
1. Say sorry all the time
2. If your mum goes out for work etc, when she comes back, ask how was your day then ask if she wants tea, coffee etc.
3.Talking it out- this is probably the best thing to do. Unfortunately this doesn't work for some mothers.

After all she is your mother, you will not be mad with her forever. Just follow these steps and you will probably resolve your problems in not time, I have been through this!

Thanks, Olz

Well for me I find it really hard I can't tell my mom I'm sorry until after an hour or so because I am so ticked off. But after letting my anger out I would go down stairs let her attitude come out on me and give her the lecture on how much I'm sorry and how I can make it up to her. I know how it feels when your mom gets you because mad and you want to break everything in sight but you know if you do your mom will get even more mad so wait a bit let you and her cool off for about an hour then go and tell you mom that you are extremely sorry she could understand or still be mad but either way at least you told her you were sorry.

Well best of luck to you!! (ps. Throw in a hug it helps) =)

When mums are annoyed, its tough, acctually, my mums pissed at me right now! The easyest way to win her back is simply wait it out for a few days, keeping out of her way and not talking much, then, make a kind gesture like; getting her jewlery; chocolate that says sorry on it, or just giving her a hug and a kiss, too show that you truly are sorry.  /-:

Talk to her more. Actualy try to be her friend, for instanse maybe she's sitting in the TV room lookin lonely, go and sit there and watch TV with her. Try to make small talk like, "this show is funny", or "she's uglyyyy" That sort of thing. Also do some of her chores and help out EVERYWHERE. She will soon forgive you for whatever you did, hope I could help(:

When shes getting mad, try not to get mad back. Speek when spoke to. If she says something you really don't like in a non angry voice point it out.
If you are quiet and just acknowlege what she says, the argument shouldn't last as long. It'll help her be happy abit after faster.
As for after, help around the house, leave her alone for a few before you try to start small talk. Say sorry , she may apolgize bk and it'll ease things.
This seems to work for me. Just be as helpful as you can and listen the best you can, it'll get better faster that way.
Hope I helped

Well, today I was being bullied badly at school so I was sulking around the house, and my mom got super mad. She was screaming and swearing at me because I didnt want to go back to school. It was pretty scary. But, a couple hours later after making a little small talk and helping around the house, I said "sorry" to her and she said she was sorry too :) So I suggest if your mom is mad at you try helping out and saying how sorry you are and asking if there is anything you can do to help her out.
Hope this helped!

I never do anything and my mom always gets ticked off for no reason. It's really frusturating. She always says I'm ungrateful and that is the farthest thing that I am. Everytime she buys me something I always say thank you. She always over reacts and everything I do is wrong. What do I do?

I don't kno what you guys are sayin. My mom does not get over her attitude in and hour. She holds grudges. For a long time. Like a couple days over something sooo irelevent. Like last night I came home "late" and shes stilll mad this morning. I'm 17 and she wants me home at 8 30...ummm no I don't think so. She wont even reason with me so I'm not appologizing. I want wrong. And even if I was to apologize she  wouldnt accept it. Shes mean and she thinks that she is always right and she doesnt even have reasons for doing the things she does.

Well for starters you should apologize for whatever you did. Give her a minimum of a hour to be alone and a maximum of 2 hours. Don't be afraid, she is your mom, I can bet you she will still love you just the same even for what you did. If you think your mother has over reacted to something very meaningless, than ask your dad or someone else in your house what happened before whatever you did. My mom has recently gotten mad at me because I kept on changing the date of when I wanted to have a sleepover with my friend, she was very annoyed and angry at me, then later my step dad had came in and told me that my mom was thinking about one of my sisters who has died. But if it really is a big thing try NOT to cry, it might get her more annoyed with you, and it can cause you to get mad and a fight with your mom will soon appear.

  Hope this help and good look

Well someone posted a rude comment on my facebook profile. I deleted it right away because I was afraid and that maybe if I deleted it nobody would see it and I would foget about it. We I guess on of my family members saw it before I deleted it.  And my mom wants me to tell her every single thing. But I just wanted to forget a bout it. But she decided to look through my text on both my phone and iPod. And found a conversation between me and a boy. We played 20 questions ( not the clean way) and she saw it. And I'm 14 and haven't kiss a boy yet I'm not someone who would do anything with a boy. Not now at least. And she saw other conversations too. We had an hour. Talk. I said sorry and that it was a mistake. And didn't mean to do It but now I feel that I can't be the same around my family. At all. Half the time I just want to die because I have nobody to go and tell with out it getting around the neighbor hood or school.  I just wish just a wish that non of this happened because now I feel like I should be depressed. And just do nothing because I know what she is thinking ( what a s**t she is, I can't stand it) but I'm not. What do I do?); please help any advice works!

Apologize to her and show her that you realize what you did was a bad choice. Try to see if you can help her out in any way. As I mom, I would just be happy knowing my child realizes his mistakes and can learn from them.

Yes some mums and dads think they know it all. If you make them mad in the morning make breakfast and give them a present or make them something and say sorry or draw a picture.    what ever you did to them to make them mad at you like fighting with your brother or something tell them you won't do it again and when you say that you mean it remember ok. If that does not work leave a comment for me and I will tell you some more tips but better tips ok bye.xxx xxx

You should just wait a couple of minutes and if you are still mad punch a pillow......a couple minutes after that practice saying I'm sorry to her in the mirror and if you can't do it that means you are still mad at her.When you are ready let her know that you are trying to say sorry to her by pretending to hide from her in the hallway then go and apologize.

You must say sorry immediately or she'll get madder let her cool off then start being nice do not lose your temper! Make sure you stay in good contacts with your siblings or it could be worse apologize over and over until she gets sick of of it and yells you will be sad. But continue being nice and cry a little she loves you so she' ll get over it and try making an apology card.WARNING this may not work for boys

She burst out on my brothers friend and I went up and asked her what hapened? She told me and I said what if someone did that to zack?( my bro)
She said get your ass in the house! ( we were on the deck.) I walked in crying. So I tried telling her sorry and she said nothing. I think she was still pissed off at me. This is not really an answer but a heads up, if you ask a question like that to your mom, do not tell her sorry.
