Something really upset them. If you'd be sensitive enough to stop thinking for a moment about yourself then maybe you'd see that your parents have a much deeper trouble of some sort as of the moment. I'd suggest you try to support them rather than go to some party. You don't want to come home with your parents broken up after the party do you? Try to assess the situation first, if you see that they are 'over' the problem then it's good to ask for permission again. If not, you should be there to support them.

sometimes its good to ignore things..its always good you listen to your parents and even if you dont want to follow what they tell you..just listen to them,because that is the way you give them respect.. people who love you,will always hurt you... you dont have to find reasons to say sorry to them..they love you like hell.. just go and say"mom dad i m sorry for whetever i did to you..please forgive me"

i guess the only way is for you to say sorry to your parents directly and talk to them about what transpired during the day, that it was just a misunderstanding. i am sure they will understand it and tell them after that you will want to still go to your commitment previously.

The thing is, If you think you are wrong then just go ahead and apologize. Yor don't have to worry what they are going to think about your apology. The situation is just a misunderstanding, and like you think you are at fault, they also might be feeling sorry for yelling at you. But you can take the first step and say Sorry!

That doesn't sound right coming from someones parents. You need to try to talk to them very calm. Try not to get frustrated and start raising your voice. I'm 31 and still living at home, and when my mother gets me pissed off about something stuid, most of the time I say nothing, but I say to myself, if I'm going to respond back, keep your cool and talk calmly. It's hard to do at times. Ask them why they got so angry at you over something like the weather. It does sound very stupid to get angry over something like that. You may have to consider the fact that it might not even be about the weather at all. It could've been another issue. You saying that you made traveling plans on halloween night could be it. Do you think they blew up at you over the weather because they don't want you to go. If so. then I would say that is very childish of them to act like that. How old are they 25..lol. Try to keep your cool and ask them what's going on. If they didn't want you to go to Wisconsin, they should've said so. I hope they didn't use the weather as an excuse to get into an argument to make you stay home. If you talk to them please let me know happend and what their excuse was.

That all sounds weird, but I think the poster who said their must be something more bothering them is probably right. You might want to wait til they are in an extra good mood or a little more calm.
