[Do I look like a chicken]

Okay little man, as a father you can take it from me that your Dad certainly doesn't hate you. He may indeed be mad as heck, and may not forgive you for quite some time, it depends on how foolish and avoidable the situation may have been. Parents make judgement calls about their childrens actions or mishaps based on several things, their childs past behavior and attitude, their own experiences growing up and how their parents dealt with their mishaps and mistakes and finally, the honesty and integrety of the child involved. All of these things and more can determine how forgiving and understanding a parent might be. What is expected of you first and formost is a sincere apology and a promise to be more careful in the future. Remember, they want to trust you and want you to do good things and make them proud. Second, think about the other things that are going on in your family and with you. Help your Parents in any way you can. Set aside a game you are playing to help with a chore or clean your room without being told. Show them that you are learning from them and that the words they say to you are not going in one ear and out the other. Third, don't mope around because they got mad at you for something, it might only serve to make them more angry with you. Hold your head up and take it the best you can. Finally, tell them that you love them from time to time, it is the best medicine around for mending hard feelings. You are a good kid, I'm sure. Just strive to do good things and avoid further incidents like this and you'll be alright.

Take care.

Hang in there, kiddo.

I can't count the times I thought one or the other of my parents were so mad at me they'd never get over it. Now I'm a parent and it's my turn to get mad at my kids. I can tell ya though, there's nothing they could do that I cannot get over. It'll be ok in a day or so.

Edited to add: Well said, Do I Look Like A Chicken! Very well said, indeed.

I do stained glass. It can be fixed. Maybe offer to have it fixed or to pay for it if possible, just making that gesture might help. Hope it works out for you.

Lunachick is right - most likely it can be fixed, especially if it is just a small area, as you say.
When we were little my older sister spray-painted an antique set of andirons that had been in my Dad's family for ages. Oh was my Dad angry! Now it's years later, however, and one of our favorite family jokes. Time mellows all trauma!

If there is a quiet moment when everyone is taking a break from moving, try giving your dad a hug. Don't say anything, just give a big hug and move on to the next chore. No words being spoken means its just love, not confrontation, an apology or an admission of guilt.

My 15-year old does this from time to time, when she's been out of line or erred in some way. It makes me feel better, because being an angry parent is no fun, either!

We're all people, and we all make mistakes.
