A little backstory. I have a airsoft gun. I went and bought it for 130. My mom asked me if I spent all my money, me lying I said “no I didn’t , I still have 10 dollars” little did I know that would’ve turned me to much more money. I asked her about getting me green gas (thing to make your airsoft gun shoot) she said no and I kept begging. Until last night when she said she was going to get me tommarow. Me and my mom was in the house and I asked her to get me green gas. She asked me about the 10 dollars and I came clean. She started saying that I lied to her and yeah. I went into my room and got so mad I kicked the wall and now there’s a hole in it. Instead of 16 dollars it’s a few 100 dollars. I am just depressed and how I did this. I feel like I am the reason why my mom struggles a lot. Idk what to do to be honest.

TL:DR I broke a wall over my mom not getting me green gas

I would suggest asking your mother to help you get into therapy for anger issues.

Work on your anger issues. Learn how to save money aside. Try to be more understanding in situations you can and can’t control.

Go on youtube and watch videos on how to repair a hole in the wall, go to home depot and buy the material for less than 30 bucks, fix it, oh and don't kick holes in the wall.

Return the gun, use the money to fix the wall. Apologize to your mum and get help for your anger issues.

This is the only way to maturely approach the situation. Anything else, you just seeking attention here and at home and it will get worse from here.

This is the way

Jesus, man. As someone who once pulled this spoiled entitled crap, do better. The reward is a better relationship with your mom and not needlessly stressing the poor woman out. Moms work so hard, especially single moms, the least you can do is treat her with respect and be happy for what she does give you. At 26.. let me tell you, a roof over your head and food is everything. You have no idea how brutal the real world is.

I agree with the other commenter about asking for therapy to help you learn anger management. That could have cost thousands of dollars if you'd kicked a pipe and broken it, or hit a stud and broken your foot, not to mention the stress.

I would also suggest you ask her to help you learn to manage your income and savings, retain savings to plan for unforeseen expenses (like wear and damage to your home), and plan out purchases patiently so that you don't wind up with a brand new thing you can't test for functionality - if you get CO2 in two months only to find out your gun has an issue, the first thing the manufacturer will ask is 'why did it take you two months to find this defect?'

Btw repairing a wall does not cost hundreds of dollars. Look up what you need (varies depending on the wall type), watch a video or two, and fix it yourself. Wall repair and painting are great skills to have - professionals frankly do a shitty job anyway IME. Tip: most people struggle with joint compound because they overwork it when it's wet. Get it on there, work it a little bit, and trust the sandpaper to do its job.
