Grounded for almost four months?
On June 1st my mother and I had a large argument and I ended up calling her a b*tch and screaming at each other and I told her someone should just kill her. I apologized immediately afterward, when she started to cry. I know, it was wrong but I was EXTREMELY ANGRY. My father took my iPod touch away. He never sets precedents, like how long the punishment is. Well now it is about to be 4 months since he took it away, and he is getting the new iPhone 5C this weekend. Should I ask him for it back? Do you think it's been long enough? I learned my lesson, I have been nicer to them both, trying to get closer to dad, etc. I NEED to listen to music when I study and to relax, and my little replacement MP3 just died, and I don't have any other way to listen on the go. How should I proceed to ask my dad for it back? Help is much appreciated.
Added (1). I do understand the gravity of what I said. I have empathy and put myself into her shoes and my father's shoes, and I can see that his punishment is perfectly suited.
