Man, this is crazy. Moms've always been strict, but now? She's on a roll. Got in a wee bit of argument with her and now she's got me writing an 'apology letter', saying sorry for being rude and stuff. Like seriously?? I am NOT 7! Can't she just ground me like normal parents do?

It might seem unfair to you now, but it's a unique approach for sure. Your mom probably wants you to reflect on your words and actions and an apology letter does exactly that. It’s not the worst thing in the world, and it might even help you avoid being rude in the future. So, it’s worth giving a shot! Anyway, it's always good to hear both sides of the story.

As a mom, I understand being upset and wanting my children to understand their behavior, but making you write an apology letter seems a bit overboard! Especially if it's not for a serious matter, it feels more childish than helpful to me. Maybe you could talk to her and let her know how it's making you feel?

Parent here, sounds a bit unusual but maybe she's using this as a teaching moment? You know, to make you realize that words matter or something. I wouldn't stress too much, just roll with it for now, and maybe try to avoid those arguments. Pick your battles, trust me.

Man, stuff like this always gets me. I mean, yeah being a parent is tough and all, but making you apologize just for having a disagreement it just a step too far I think. Maybe sit down with her when she's cooled off a bit and speak your mind? No harm in a little communication, ya know?
