aha, you people and your fucked up mothers...

6/18/2008 9:38:13 AM

My mom grounded me for two weeks for not putting my laundry in my dresser, even though it was folded neatly on top of the dresser.

She's gotta be in contention for the craziest at least.

6/18/2008 2:08:26 PM

my parents are pretty normal...a lot more open-minded than i am, because i can be pretty parochial a lot of the time

6/18/2008 2:13:19 PM

wow, must suck for you guys

my mom is chill

and im spoiled

6/18/2008 2:21:58 PM

^^^ hahaha. i feel you. my mom the other day was like "if you have any white clothes i'm washing whites" and i was like "SWEET" because she NEVERRRRRR does my laundry. which i wouldn't care about its not a big deal at all but hey, she offered and i only had like 4 or 5 white things so i was sorting them out of my laundry basket on the floor and she's like "ok katherine, lets not keep things on the floor of your room when you are living in our house"

and i was like "uhhh i'm just trying to get this laundry sorted????"


AND last night she was lecturing me about something as usual and i tried to bring up that i've lived by myself for like 5 years and i haven't died/gotten pregnant/killed someone/been in jail/and i made pretty decent grades. and then she's like "well i KNOW but michael is out having SEX. i mean what are we supposed to say to you guys??? i guess we're just bad parents" (michael = brother)

and i was like ??? yes, another argument from my mother that makes SO MUCH SENSE.

right now we're getting ready to leave for a family vacation to the beach which should be totally awesome (and by awesome i mean horrible). she's like slamming things down already and just yelled at my dad because his shoes are big and they didn't fit well in the suitcase. now she's yelling "where's the key where's the key" i don't even know what she is talking about. talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

this is kinda what she looks like when she is angry (which, i would guesstimate is 97% of the time)

I want more crazy mom stories from khcadwal

the beach trip should provide plenty to tell your friends on TWW!!!

6/22/2008 9:21:52 AM

uhhh yea hahaha. i can provide crazy grandmother stories too (its my mom's mom, surprise surprise). my grandmother drinks. a lot. and takes blood thinners. this coupled with her being 90 and not so good at things such as walking leads to a lot of accidents. involving a lot of blood and trips to the ER. the sad part is when she runs into something and rips open her leg, we're pretty used to it. so we usually just prop her leg up on a chair with a pie pan under it and finish what we're doing (like lunch or dinner) then we take her on over to the hospital.

my family has got to be one of the most seriously fucked up families EVAR. i guess i gotta go get in the car now

stay tuned for more stories.

6/22/2008 9:25:51 AM

I'm glad my mom isn't as crazy as the moms some of you have.

6/22/2008 9:40:15 AM

When I had the baby, my mother was supposed to stay with me to lend me a hand until I recovered from the C-section. We even bought her a GPS so that she would feel more comfortable getting around up here.

The first night home, my son began behaving strangely. My husband and I were in our bedroom watching him have seizures. I was crying. My husband was upset. My mother walks by and asks if we needed any help. I told her yes and that I thought that the baby was having seizures. My mother says ok and walks to the guest bedroom and shuts the door, going to bed.

While we are in the ER with our son the next day, my mom packs up her stuff and goes home. My son is now 5 months old and she hasn't been back to Raleigh and has only seen him twice.

6/22/2008 9:48:13 AM

Wow. That's atrocious. Do you still talk to her?

6/22/2008 9:49:04 AM

Yes. Family is very important to me, so I do the very best that I can to remain civil towards her and maintain some kind of relationship. That is just a small chunk in a long list of mom crazy -- you kinda get use to it.

6/22/2008 9:52:50 AM

I really don't think I could talk to my mother again unless she made serious steps to right that wrong. Family doesn't pull a stunt like that.

6/22/2008 9:53:41 AM

My mom is crazy. Still acts like me and my brother are 5. He loves being taken care of, I fucking hate it. She has an opinion on everything, usually wrong and she will always make sure you listen to it. I didn't want to fuck up a kid like that so I got my tubes tied, had to threaten bodily harm if she tried to stop the doc because she thinks I should be finding a guy so I can be a stay at home mom instead of in grad school.

My mom wanted so bad to pretend that we were kids forever, she home schooled me and my brother. I'd lock myself in my room with the textbooks because she'd make a huge fucking ordeal out of "teaching" us and bore me out of my mind.

The worst is the religiousness on top of all of this. I wasn't allowed to date in high school, then was afraid they'd quit filling out the FAFSA if I did in college (they submitted it late twice, had to change schools because of it). So much other religious BS as well. I had to wear ugly loose clothing all through high school/college too. I can only begin to describe how having christian biology text books in high school made my life more difficult in college.

My mom asks me the same fucking question at least a half dozen times too. damn, 9:30 am and I need a drink now.

6/22/2008 10:32:49 AM

Most of my friends who have met my mom agree that she's batshit crazy. One time, I was at the fair with my mom, sister, and miska, and miska even said 'god. what a bitch.' My poor boyfriend - he had to deal with all kinds of crazy mom stuff when we first started dating, because I lived at home. Things like 'Well, if you're not gonna answer your phone, you aren't earning the privilege of living in our house!', when she'd call 3 times an hour after I've told her we're going for dinner and a movie. She grounded me shortly after we got together (probably for not answering my phone or something. I never had a curfew, but god forbid I miss a call), and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere, so he'd show up after they'd gone to bed, and we'd sit in the car for hours, or walk around the neighborhood. On Valentine's Day, she told me I could leave for an hour. It took me several days to get her to let me leave for two hours.

The final straw that made me decide to move out was a conversation with my mother one saturday morning that went about like this:
mom wakes up, and bangs on my door, telling me to get my ass up and quit being a lazy bum, before she even went to the bathroom. It was 9am, and I was already up, cleaning. She'd been doing shit like this for weeks and weeks and weeks.

So after she gets her coffee, and has some, I went to her, told her that if she wanted me to listen to her in the mornings, she'd wait to say anything to me until after she'd been caffeinated, because she's a raving bitch beforehand. I spoke to my dad about this beforehand, double-checking that I wasn't being hypersensitive. He agreed she'd been being out of control.

She snarls "I'm not grumpy!" at me in such a manner that I, my sister, and dad ALL burst out laughing. Like, thanks for making my point, mom. Us laughing only made her angrier

That's the gist of the conversation. There were also lines like 'I'm your fucking mother. Don't talk to me like that' said repeatedly, as well as 'don't interrupt me when I'm talking!' (man, that drove me crazy. She'd STOP TALKING, but as SOON as I said a word or two: don't interrupt me!. This wasn't just during that conversation. That went on for months).

For a while, she was so bad I literally just started walking away from her.

She had never acted like that before (even when I truly was a problem child), was totally irrational, and looking back, I think there was something going on with her bipolar. When your husband stops staying out of the mother/daughter frays, and is backing your daughter's side of an argument, you need to step back and take a look at your behavior, you know?

But now that I've moved out, we get along great All her friends are jealous of how much we stay in contact, and what a great daughter I am (never mind half of their kids are little shits because they were never disciplined)

But...khcadwal, your mom wins.

Lutra needs to get in here with a story about her parents.

EXACTLY. my mom once told me she'd never forgive me because my dad took my side. i mean, theres NO winning with her. you'd think if my dad took my side she might be like "oh, maybe i'm a psycho biatch" but instead she just got more mad at me. but that ^ kinda sums up my story too. ever since college (when i moved out) we've gotten along MUCH MUCH better however, this summer (the first time living at home in like 6 years...yeeeea poor grad student me) is making me feel like i'm 15 again. i thought it'd be different since we've gotten along relatively well over the past few years (minor scuffles here and there). boy was i wrong.

I swear, I think I must have the best family of anyone I know. I never had to deal with this kind of shit. Hell, I only talk to my folks once every few months, but it's because I'm incapable of emotional connection on any meaningful level, not because they were in any way bad parents. Hell, I actually think they're really cool people who I would gladly associate with even if we weren't related. I never had any problems with them back in high school or anything, never had the big "rebellious teen" phase or anything.

I think the reason so many chicks have "crazy mom" stories is because:

A - All women crazy to begin with.

B - A hell of a lot of mothers are jealous of their daughters additional opportunities or different life choices. This is especially true of cases when Mom was a full time housewife and now daughter is in college or has a career.

C - A lot of kids are just ungrateful little shits who don't appreciate the 18+ years of financial and emotional support they got from parents who had to put up with all their bullshit. You'd probably be a little bit bitchy too if you thought you'd finally gotten the house to yourself only to suddenly have an adult child show up again.

Still, great stories, keep 'em coming.

khcadwal, you have a boyfriend you could move in with? Prostitution sounds like a better option than being so poor you have to live with that. Yes, I'm serious. I've lived off of ramen and bicycled everywhere to avoid living with my parents.

the stink eye. i have a total crush on you. dont worry, im harmless

6/23/2008 11:48:44 AM

my mother is just like khcadwal's mother. I stayed with my mom the summer after my freshman year. It was torture worse than when I was her "child" Now I live with dagreenone and only visit my mom sometimes, making sure he is always with me because she acts so nice when around my friends. I hated that in high school because my friends thought I had the best mother ever. They knew nothing.

6/23/2008 11:58:44 AM

My mom used to be the most awesome mom in the world...until my dad died. I think that threw her into some sort of midlife crisis. She and I used to be super close and she would drive to Raleigh by herself to see me while I was at State, which is saying a lot because she never ever ever drives in any sort of real traffic. I got married and she loved my husband. We moved back towards my parents' house so we could be closer because my husband's family was always batshit crazy, so having my (at the time) sane parents close and his far away was nice. Then my dad died.

Well, all was well for 8 months or so after he died. Then, all hell broke loose. She got a boyfriend, but didn't tell me because she thought it'd be "better if I didn't know." Of course, she told a bunch of people who told me and was really bad at being secretive, so I knew. The thing was, I didn't mind her having a boyfriend...I was happy she wasn't alone. However, this guy she is dating is an alcoholic and pretty much told her not to have anything to do with me. So all was downhill from there. I tried talking to her about it and told her flat out that I knew about him. She still pretends I don't know and sneaks around like a teenager.

On top of that, I have had 2 kids since my dad died. My oldest is her little pride and joy. She takes him places all of the time and spoils the hell out of him. However, she treats my youngest like shit. She refuses to keep a carseat for my youngest in her car, even though there's one in there for my oldest. She always invites my oldest to spend the night with her or to go places, while she excludes my youngest. She always accuses me of treating my oldest bad and says I spoil my youngest, which isn't true at all. I've heard from more than one person that she has talked shit about me and my parenting. Now when she comes to visit, she says maybe 2 words to me and spends all of her time with my oldest child. And those two words she says are usually hostile or in regards to my oldest.

She also hates my husband for no reason now. She constanty accuses him of abusing my oldest child (which isn't true at all and anyone else who is around my kids and husband would vouch for this). She is always telling me to leave him and come live with her.

6/23/2008 12:21:52 PM

Good lord people. I think my mom is pretty awesome to begin with, but after reading these stories, she's damn near perfect.

I brought my boyfriend over once to meet them (he was curious after hearing all the stories, thought they'd be entertaining) and my mother was on her best behavior the whole time.

6/23/2008 3:54:04 PM

my moms just put in some money in da account

6/23/2008 4:02:09 PM

im a mommas boy...


My mom can be crazy at times. Nags a ton and throws a guilt trip here and there but overall she's great.

I'm spoiled beyond belief. Always have at least $150 in my account she has for me.... and i spend around 100-150 a week on food and other stuff. I got a brand new car when I turned 16. Buy's me clothes and shoes all the time... christmas, birthday, and when they're on sale.

When I go home she washes and folds all my dirty clothes... I just leave it on the floor in my room ( I know its bad... dont judge me ).

Although im the middle sibling im on all the bank accounts my mom has along with access to the safety box where she keeps all her jewelry. This is only due to the fact that my older brother strayed from a good path and my little sister is too young to know the importance of money.

I try to talk to my mom everyday, keep her updated with school and life. She nags and nags all the time and is super jealous if I have any girl company around. She threatens to disown me if I have a girlfriend she doesn't approve of.


Overall, my moms great.......... Also, all of this may sound great, but I worked my ass off in high school ( parents businesses ) and basically had no social life during that time. And every time I go back home I work too... although she gives me extra money for doing so
