It's Official: My mother is a total bitch!

[2000AD]

She rants, she raves, she makes no sense at all, she's worse than Darkstar!
yes it's my mother, with such totally stupid arguments as:


The Car Arguement:
(3 years ago)

Mum: I want a car. Your always driving the family car. I never get a chance to use it.
Dad: OK. Lets go look for one.
Mum: Whats the point? We can't afford one.
Dad: Then why say you want one?
Mum: YOUR ALWAYS FINDING FAULT WITH ME! etc etc

(2 months after we finally get her a car)

Mum: I don't like the car.
Dad: why?
Mum: I don't like the colour.
Dad: You picked it.
Mum: Only because you pressured me into it.
Dad: no I didn't. I just let you pick the car.
Mum: I NEVER WANTED THAT CAR ANYWAY!. etc etc.

The Ring Replacement

((backstory: mums engagement ring was lost when we came back from holiday. It was insured so we went to get a new one.)

(in shop)

Dad: do you like this ring.
Mum: Yes
Dad: do want to get it:
mum: yes
(dad goes to buy ring)
mum: I don't like that ring.
Neil (my brother): Do you want me to go tell dad?
Mum: no ( 10 seconds later) I don't like that ring.
Neil: look, if you don't like it go tell Dad and you can pick a new one.
Mum: No.
Neil: WHy? (no answer)

(walking down street after buying ring)

Mum: Don't like that ring.
Dad: Why?
Mum: Just don't like it.
Dad: Do you want me to take it back?
Mum: No.
Dad: I can take it back you know. It's no hassle. you can pick another.
Mum: No.

(present day)

Mum: I never liked this ring.
Dad: Then why did you pick it?
Mum: Yu pressured me into it!
Dad: No I didn't, i let you pick it. Anyway I said i'd take it back for you.
Mum: No you didn't.
Dad: Yes i did
Mum: no you didn't
Dad: Neil, Adam (me), did i say i'd take it back and change it for her?
Me and Neil: yes
Mum: YOUR ALWAYS GANGING UP ON ME! etc etc.

Mums favourite tactics:

YOUR ALWAYS GANGING UP ON ME!:
If someone disagrees with her and agrees with someone else, therefor to her logic we're ganging up, following accusation causes main point of arguement to be forgotten.

Changing topic:
Mum swiftly changes topic to something that is always being brought up, but is totally unexpected nether the less, common examples include my dad's hearing, my brothers university debts (and repayment of) , my school work, the car, how she hates the house, my dads side of the family.

"Cutting off the nose to spite the face":
Her most common tactic, as witnessed in my example arguements. Another good one is a few month ago when she cooked sunday dinner:

(background: Dinners ready and we're sitting down t eat when she notices the custard for the dessert is burning. She goes to make up another batch of custard despite the three of us telling her it's ok and we don't mind. We get on with our dinner)

(mum enters dining room and sit's down)
Mum: This is too cold for me too eat. DIDN'T ANY OF YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS THINK ABOUT PUTTING SOME ON A PLATE AND PUTTING IT BACK IN THE OVEN TO KEEP IT WARM FOR ME?
Me: Well you could have asked us.
Mum: I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK!
Me: Well how are we ment to know what you want if you don't ask?
Dad: Adam just shut up.
Me: No. How are we ment to know what you want if you don't tell us.
Mum: I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL YOU!
Me: Why? We're not psychic!
Mum: BUT YOU COULD HAVE OUT SOME ON A PLATE FOR ME -
Me: YOU DIDN'T ASK US TO PUT SOME ON A PLATE FOR YOU SO HOW ARE WE MENT TO KNOW YOU STUPID WOMAN
Mum: YOUR ALWAYS PICKING ON ME! (the innocence abused tactic as well)
Me: No i'm not. Just 'cause you say a bunch of shit and i disagree does not mean i'm picking on you.
Mum: I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY LONGER.
Me: WELL DON'T BRING IT DOWN ON YOURSELF. START MAKING SENSE YOU STUPID BITCH
Dad: Adam just shut up!
Mum: OH NO, KEEP ON I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HATE ME etc etc

Once i get dragged into an arguement i can't win. 95% of the time mums speaking shit so i agree with the other person and i'm "ganging up" and if i stay out of the arguement i'm accused of not caring. Even when mum is right and i side with her she changes the topic to something and we have a new arguement!

I just need to get this out of my system and this is the most viable method. Rant over!

[Anarchist Bunny]

Are you new to the world of mothers or are you just slow in realizing things like that. The Gina is evil, its like the one ring, it gives the barer influnce over others(men) and drives the owner insane.

[Captain Cyran]

Wow....reading that I am so reminded of my own mother.

[Admiral Valdemar]

My mum is great unless she is a really foul mood.

Yours sounds like she has a problem with existing.

[2000AD]

She is just so fucking annoying! She insults everyone but is shocked if anyone talks back to her. And she says stupid things like:

(scene: New Years Party)

Mum: There's a group of girls over there .....
Me: And?
Mum: Why don't you try to talk to them.
Me: One; i'm close to getting a GF at school, two; those girls are either half my age, mingers or both and three; i can get a GF without your help.
Mum: (in a stroppy way) I was just trying to help!

She then has a big beef about how mean i was to her when we get home!

[Anarchist Bunny]

Again, Been around mothers long?

You'll soon find out they'll be more involved in any romantic relationships than you will.

Life's a bitch... and it's your mum it seems.

I'm sure she isn't that bad, I mean she did give birth to you...

I'm just glad i moved to a new school on the other side of my city. That way she can't ask any of my friends over there who i fancy.

[Yogi]

Sounds like my mother.

[jaeger115]

How did she and your dad get married?

[Admiral Valdemar]

How did she and your dad get married?

Alcohol is a miraculous thing. My mum and dad met when she was giving evidence against him for punching an MP (Military Policeman) after hijacking a Landrover from RAF Akrotiri and driving all around Cyprus one night when pissed.

[The Yosemite Bear]

Dude, don't go there.

Of course my mom's a hippie throwback.

[Dalton]

My mother has the typical Italian tendency to overexplain and talk your ear off, but she's far from being a bitch in my eyes.

I'm sorry to hear it when children don't get along with their parents; I've experienced it second-hand when my brother fights with my mom or dad, but I've never fought with anyone for long.

I hope things work out for you Adam.

[Lord Pounder]

at the end of the day your mum is your mum and no matter her wee anoying trates you gotta love them. MY mum is not very smart, I remember when Total Recall came out she commented on the x-ray tunnel and we told her they had them in Belfast International and she believed us.

Another time we were watching Basketball on Sky Sports and she asked how many quaters there were in the game.

but still ya gotta love your parents.

Hear, hear.

[Isil`Zha]

My friends grandmother has your mom topped in the "complete bitch and idiot" department:

(And this is as verbatum as I can remember, no exaggerating, and the caps are intentional, since she always yells)

"PUT ON A COAT, YOU'RE GOING TO CATCH A COLD!!!"
"I'm only going outside for a minute"
"YOU'RE GOING TO GET SICK FROM BEING COLD"
"No, you get it from a virus, not from being cold."
"NO YOU DON'T, YOU GET IT FROM BEING COLD!"


And the lastest thing that proves her to be the biggest bitch/moron of all time (I heard this go down)

"ALL SCIENCE IS BULLSHIT! I'M OLDER THAN IT AND I KNOW MORE!"

Yep, she said those exact words and meant every one of them.. she's like... anti-logic.

I wonder if my mom is weird. she's nothing like this.

[Zaia]

Gah, double post! Make it go away! Ahhh!!! *shields eyes*

Um, it sounds like your mom has a few issues. Does she have a job?

[2000AD]

Jaeger115: My Auntie (dads side) worked at the same place as my mum and introduced them to each other.


Zaia: She's a receptionist at a vets. but Job has nothng to do with it. She was like this when she worked at the bank. She was like this when she didn't have a job. She's still like this and it's driving me crazy, my brother crazy and my Dad to tears.

[Dirty Harry]

I feel for you man, my mum seems just like yours. My mums a particularly big fan of the "change topic" tactic. She also does that "I shouldn't have to ask you!" trick, which I find very annoying.
But Darth Pounders right, even if your mum pisses you of a bit,their still your mum.

[Zaia]

She sounds like she has a massive self-esteem problem. Why else would she feel like you guys always gang up on her and that you hate her?

You being the one to start with insults certainly isn't going to help the situation any, so for everyone's good, including your own, you should hold back as much as possible from calling her names.

The line "I can't take this any longer" send out warning signals to me. Has she ever been in therapy, because she needs to talk to someone. To me, it sounds like she's thinking either of leaving or of killing herself.

I could be wrong, though, if she says that line all the time. Even if she does say it often, I still think she needs to see some sort of counselor. She wants help. In my opinion.

[Johonebesus]

She sounds alot nicer than mine.

[2000AD]

She hasn't been in therapy but we keep telling her she needs to see a psychiatrist, and she agrees some times. And then does Jack Shit about it.

She starts 90% of the arguements in the house and she's always the first one to lose her rag and start screaming about some random thing. Me and my brother are the normally the first to through insults in (always as retaliation though) and my dad tries to weather the storm (this is probably why me and my brother have come home and found my dad crying in the loft).

[Sea Skimmer]

Is she a bitch? Yes but more then just personality are at fault.

How old are your brother and you? Insults aren't going to make this better. If you want to help the situation, don't do that. But if you like the drama or whatever, then by all means, keep it up.
