One question...OP, why on earth would you tell your mother what you are doing if she's only going to berate you? Especially if she wouldn't find out unless you tell her. Don't tell her anything she doesn't need to know. Period.

But was mama RIGHT? Did you f*ck up an important 9am meeting? Did you arrive to a family wedding stinking of beer? How did she find out? Tell us more...

No, I was still up and at work on time. I wasn't drinking at the gig. Other than being really tired the next day, I was fine.

Oh sorry is this better: "that would suck major ass."?

Exactly, you would have thought that he'd have said something at least 10 years ago...

@26 how do u know he hasn't? some parents are beyond changing. while the best outcome would be for ops mom to finally stop babying him, the realistic option might only be telling her nothing.

Maybe a friend of the mom? Some moms have a network of people that will tell about the every activity of the child that they happen to see, even when that child is not longer a child. Perhaps mom called while he was out and broke into his house when he did not answer. Upon realizing he was not there and there was no woman or man that OP was having any sort of romance with there , she decided to nag him/her about staying out late.

So 8, how old are you?
