Today, I got into a fight with my mom over the chores, and stormed out. When I returned later, I found the house had been egged. My mom told my dad she saw me do it, and he won't believe my side of the story. He says I'll be lucky if I see sunlight this summer. FML

I learned a long time ago that when your mom tells you to do the dishes (or any kind of chore), you should just not argue and do the dishes. Saves your ass from shit like this man. Anyway, I hope you get un-grounded before the end of summer!

Your Mom is an absolute child for blaming you, especially since she really didn't see you do it. I'm willing to wager that she did it herself, which makes her even more childish. And guys? Some families put WAY too many chores on their kids and just sit around all day while the kid does all the work. That's how it was with me. As soon as I moved out, the place went to absolute shit because my fatass Mom refused to get up and clean anything herself. She'd gotten used to me doing everything instead. It's fine to teach responsibility. But it gets to be a little sad when the kids are contributing more to the household cleanliness than the home owners themselves by a huge margin.

Well, you were immature, but I see it runs in the family. I'll assume you're mother didn't load the chores o you like you were Cinderella, but rather gave you a normal amount that you threw a hissy-fit over. However, blaming the egging of the house on you is just making her a sorry excuse for a mother. Mom, Woman and ground him yourself for not doing his chores, none of this passive aggressive framing. How ca you expect your kid to learn good morals from you if you lie to your husband so that'll he'll do the dirty work? Are you incapable of disciplining your own kid? And do you have to cover up the real issue? Your son isn't beig punished for not doing his chores, he's being punished because you were petty.

Children will be children, but an adult should set the standard and behave like an adult. The mother lost all moral high ground when she framed her own son, not to mention lied to her husband about their child. BTW, you know OP's mom probably won't read your comment, right?

You have no reason to make the assumption that OP threw a hissy fit over a few chores. Given that the mom has shown her immaturity, it's not unlikely that she gave OP more than his fair share of chores, and he got angry because she was being lazy. Not definite, but not unlikely.

I know she probably won't ever see this, it's just easier for me to write coherently when I pretend I'm talking to someone. your_face, I thought it would be fair to give the mother some benefit of doubt.

Shouldn't have argued over it, just move some stuff around until you feel like completely doing the chores.

We don't know the situation or what it was regarding chores that they fought about. OP could have refused to do their chores, which is bratty and irresponsible. Or it could be that OP did their chores and mom was nit-picking or mom kept adding last minute stuff for OP to do, which is what my mom does when she knows I'm about to go out. What we do know is that the mom deliberately lied to get OP in trouble. Frankly, she wasn't teaching respect or responsibility; the only thing she was teaching is how to be a spiteful liar.

I have to side with OP on this one. Given that his mother lied rather than simply punishing him for what he ACTUALLY did, I'd have to say that's a pretty strong testament to her character. I doubt ANY child could get along with a mother like that. She's the adult--she should act like it.

On the positive side, you can go and egg the house in frustration as your already getting punished for it...

Well that's spiteful. And while I agree that chores need to be done as they help to prepare you for being on your own, telling an obvious lie is not setting a good example. All that showed OP is if you're younger it doesn't matter who is telling the truth, just who is more believable.

Respect... You may not get everything you want but I'm sure as parents they give you everything you need so out of respect for them just do your chores... You got exactly what you deserved as for your mom, all I can say to her is: Well played!

Respect is a two way street. Yes, as the youngin, you should give respect first, but remember, everyone is human. If you don't give respect no matter who you are, it WILL bite you in the ass in the end

128 - I disagree. The parents have to be the first to show respect, or the child won't learn it.

Everyone keeps referring to OP as a "child" when I'm pretty sure he oughta be 17-18ish to be posting on this site, no? When does he accept personal responsibility for "stomping out" and just accept that he was wrong for not obeying? Jeez.
