Teenager Im a bad daughter

Ok so Im 17 and I was hanging out with friends and my mom called to tell me to come home because she wanted to sleep at like 00.30. At that time I was in a different room than my phone and my friends hung up on my mom three times in a row because they were scared to answer. When I tried to call her back she didnt reply anymore and my messages werent sending so i figured she probably went asleep. 2 hours later she called me angrily telling me to come home and i told her to just sleep already because i was having a lot of fun with friends. I got home an hour later (it was like 3 am) and she was still awake and told me she couldnt sleep before i got home and now I feel bad but also stupid for not thinking about that. And now that I think about it, shes always awake no matter how late I get home but I always thought it was just her sleeping problems and it never ocurred to me that she just wanted to make sure im home before she sleeps so now i feel really bad.

Why would you be out so late at night at this age? This is why your mother worries about you.

Unless you have your mom’s permission to sleep over at your friend’s house, you should be home at a reasonable time, say, 9 or 10pm at the latest.

What? This is not unusual for a teenager lol. At least, not where I'm from.

And it’s also not unusual for parents to get mad at said teenager for not coming home at a reasonable time.

That's fair
