Actually, the mother is thoroughly in the right. Ideally, she should've gone into the room and either stopped the person from staying up even longer or turned the lights off if they were already sleeping. Other than that, she did everything the exact way she should've. Context is extremely important, and with the limited information she was working on, she had every right to assume the person was playing video games or doing something else unproductive. Children stay up late doing nothing of value SO regularly that without further context, parents can't reasonably assume anything else in these situations. That also seems to be the case here. Look at how the mother says "Another lame excuse" and "I can't believe you are doing this! This is damaging my health AND yours". That would be really aggressive for a single offense, but this clearly isn't a single offense. Their initial lie wouldn't be "Another lame excuse" if this hasn't happened before, and it certainly wouldn't be "damaging both of their health" unless it has happened a lot of times before. On the other hand, while I understand why the person didn't want to ruin the secret, they should've just said "I was wrapping your birthday presents" straight away. That would've defused the situation immediately without revealing any important details about the present. The only reason things escalated this much was because the person refused to use their alibi until the last possible moment. When their mother saw past their obvious lie, they doubled down on it, which is a REALLY BAD look. Now, not only have they not explained what they were doing so late, they've made it look like they don't have an explanation at all. That is more than valid grounds for getting grounded. Afterwards, they started doing the smart thing and actually explaining why they were up, but they delivered it in a very awkward and confusing way. It took them THREE agonizing back and forths to go from surrendering their lie to actually revealing the truth, all while saying vague things like "I have a good reason" and "It was for your own good." I won't fault them on this part - social skills are hard - but it does not help their case here. They then close with "I was awake trying to wrap your birthday gift," and "The only time I could wrap it without you noticing was the middle of the night". This part is perfect - it's brief, it explains everything down to the person's thought process, it preserves the original intention of keeping the present secret, and as a cherry on top, it makes the person look like they cared a lot about their mother's birthday. All in two sentences. Perfect form. Perfect execution. However, it's all but ruined by the fact that they DIDN'T START WITH THOSE TWO SENTENCES. It ends up being the light at the end of a long tunnel of conflict and stress, when the tunnel was completely unnecessary. If this person is here, reading this comment, my advice for them would be to skip the coverup next time and go straight to the proof, sparing everyone from the heated fight and the bad taste it must've left in their mouths afterwards.
Well, if we wanna be technical, she did ask a question first, but she didn’t at all attempt to think about why the light could be on rather than automatically assuming theyre being a bad child
