She never apologizes first!

A mother i believe should always be open to her children to guide them the right way. If a mother has wronged the kid she should take it and apologise to the kid. It shows you are honest to the kids and they will follow that good example.

well, i totally agree with you, sometimes as adult we thought that we are superior than our kids or lets say we know more about what our kids know.. but, ddnt we think about where we came from? i mean we also went through being a child and to adulthood... :) for me, it wont hurt if we say sorry to our kids specially if sometimes its our fault.. maybe were too overprotective to our kids.. if we know how to say sorry then we could expect our kids to say sorry as well... to discipline our kids it has to start from us parents.. let us be a good example to our children and if possible just talk to our kids and we should never argue.. let's talk to our kids as if we talk to an adult.. and sometimes kids dont argue to your parents just talk to them what you think is right and always remember that parents just want whats best for their children, parents dont want their kids to get hurt... :)

Well most of thetimes they are right. In India mother and Father are like god and I do belive in this. What's more they are too good a friend of mine to say something like sorry or thanks. These words don't matter in our relations. Try this. I believe this will help.

While my children are not yet adults I do not have a problem telling them I am sorry or to admit to them that I have done something wrong. I suggest that you talk to your mom to see how she feels on the subject. Maybe she doesn't see the situation the same way as you do. You should try to explain to her how you see the situation.

No one is blameless or faulthless.. That's what I try to teach my children. I hope they will understand my faults because there is no human being that commits no faults at all. And what I really desire that they understand it and so they can be much more happy, because they will understand their own faults and that an error is a human thing. It also will make them much more understandable about all other people that they will meet in all their future life.

i think mothers (that is, in our country) of the old times are not open to their kids. like my mother, she was not open to us, she did not encourage us to say what we think, what we feel. because of this, now that i am a mother also, i try to be the opposite, i try to be more open to my kids, i let them say what they think and feel. i let them feel that they have a say of things, especially if it concerns them.

I am a mother with a seven years old son. I have no any problems with saying sorry. I often do it. But my son has problem with it, I think :)

I feel for you. My mother never apologize, she never accepts her mistakes because according to her she always thinks before she acts that is why she doesn't make mistakes. I learned not to expect any gesture of humility from my mother even if it is obvious she is wrong. She's always expecting her children to understand her situation but she never makes any effort to understand ours. It's been one year since I entrusted to her a big sum of money that she promised she'll use to help us buy a new car, the car is not existing and the money is gone. She won't give the money back and she have the nerve to be the one who is angry. I'm so humiliated to be related to a woman who cons her own child. I am a mother too, sometimes I lose control and shout at my son if he's too annoying. He cries of course and I will apologize for losing my control. I'm the adult I should be the one who will understand my child.

I think you will always wrong if you not apologize, if you are wrong its totally unfair in my opinion. If you realize your fault your respect is higher not down.So, pls think about it and dont shame for appolize.

EVERYONE makes mistakes sometimes and everyone has times when they are at fault. Mother's are NOT faultless. being a mother does not negate any wrong doing. Everyone has to apologize sometimes, and people that won't admit their own wrong doing will poison any relationship they are in because of it.

In my case, me and my mom are always in a cold war. Whenever we are in the same house, war is always happening. We rock the house with our war. Ya its a bad thing but the thing is, I never grew up with my mom. Since I was a baby, she gave me to my paternal grandmother for her to take care of me since my mom has a job then and I have a big brother, I think she can't afford to take care of two child that's why she gave me to my grandma. When I grew up, me and my mom really had this very big gap. We often argue on things and sometimes very little things. Sometimes, or oftentimes, she sees me even if I haven't done anything wrong, she shouts at me and punishes me and all that stuff. I don't know why she does that. I haven't done anything wrong. She never did apologize to me EVER! Like I said, we really have a big gap but now I have forgiven her but I can't stay with her in the house for war will always blossom when we're at the same place.
