My father is a wine enthusiast and so I decided to buy him the wine finer like Chris had talked about in one of his videos. Now because I'm under 18, I had no way of purchasing it for my parents. So, I used my moms paypal (autofill is terrible security) to purchase it (30$) with the full intention of paying her back. I wanted it to be a suprise, so I didn't tell her. She later got the email and questioned me about it and yelled at me for stealing money. I had the full intention of paying back the money and it may have put her over her balance ad cost her (me) a few bounced checks and the 50$ over-limit. I know what I did was wrong, but what can I did to gain her trust back? |

By not asking permission and using your parents account to buy the gift, look at it this way -- they effectively bought their own gift. That's not very nice or pleasurable experience you put them through, especially if your purchase caused additional fees to them. Pay your parents back for the cost of the gift and any additional fees they incurred, apologize profusely and explain you realize you made a mistake. In time, they'll forgive if not forget your misstep. Just because "we have the technology" doesn't mean we always have to use it. In the old days, if I wanted to buy something for my parents that I couldn't buy because I wasn't of legal age/didn't have a credit card of my own, I would make up a nice, home-made "Gift Certificate" to give to them as the gift and include the monetary amount in cash for their gift. Then they could buy the item at their leisure. Easy, simple and fair not to mention heartfelt since it required some time on my part to create a personal gift card. |

All I can say is you better watch your p's and q's. If you're a good boy and you don't do anything too bad, you'll be back to normal. But I must say, you should have asked first and there wouldn't have been a surprise, and you wouldn't have gotten in trouble. |

well whatever your intentions where what you did was still fraud, and wrong, but you admit it. 1) pay back everything and dont do it again and say sorry. 2) ask next time. 3) she is your mother, she will forgive you, just dont do anything to make things worst. 4) kiss up big time... take her out to eat? do dishes? clean your room? |
