Do moms have a Special, Secret School to learn how to drive their children insane????

Just parents dude it's there job gotta remember that. Just deal with it.

 

Well-preserved perhaps?

 

Normans mom did look kinda old.. / ah, :cheers2: Beer, Natures embalming fluid..

 

everyone knows moms have special powers

they can even read minds...resistance is futile

 

LOL ^^^^
I remember being a teenager and wondering about the same thing, well for the time (no microwave-cellphone, etc back then)....and in my "august years" am living with Mama again.
I love my mother dearly, and I can tell you the shit-scratching, the embarassment, the POWERS a mother is capable of end at death only - as dynamahumm said...I think. But wait a minute - I'm not even sure their powers end at death. Hows that for a bright thought?

 

the question was rhetorical, but...

it's like...

like i said... they can do it with such *perfection*...

i mean.. i have this used, untested van i'm going to drive 800 miles to a farm/commune in VA from florida...

how many *ways* are there to ask "what if it breaks down on the way up?"

not an unreasonable question, but how many shades of stress must i exhibit before i say "jesus, mom!! you know, george bush *was* the best president we ever had!! why didn't i see it!! thank you for forcing me to acknowledge the idiocy of my previous existence!! i hope we get to nuke *somebody* pretty soon!!"

there is such a great difference between love & understanding & respect...

love covers the big things, but understanding and respect are based on smaller things...

there is a certain emptiness to love without respect, probably because there is no real understanding... or a disagreement so deep that real communication is impossible, because all that can be offered is criticism of the places from whence those disagreements begin...

might be wise for those parents who think it's their 'job' to force ideologies upon their children to decide if criticism is really how they want to contextualize the process of learning to communicate with others...

i see little humorous about it, really, because when differences this deep exist between generations that they have to resolve those differences with resignation, rather than hope or congratulations, we get the kinds of shit throws we see throughout our culture, now..

i suspect that if materialism was less rampant & that if we took our eyes off of "the next dollar & what we'll spend it on", there would be a lot fewer busted families & dysfunctional parents... how many people on this site are estranged or near estranged from their folks?

hm?

so maybe it isn't a school..

maybe it's an attitude of "i'm your parent. i don't *give* a shit what you think. i fed you & raised you. you owe me, & this is the way i'll take it, because you weren't everything i wanted you to be..."

ultimately, then, it's the same school as all the other dipshits who fuck up the world...

a presupposition that a person has rights over the other, and that if they resist that presupposition, they are made to experience negative consequences...

hm.

maybe i *should* have worked for the DOD... maybe i *should* have designed warheads & ICBMs... *then* she could be proud...

then i would have had the house, the kids, etc etc etc & whatever fucking trauma there is that goes with *that*...

& after all is said & done??

i would **STILL** be banging my head on a good, solid piece of wood....

 

tltr..

all of your moms actions are stemmed from the fact that she loves you and want's the best for you.

The only problem is that most moms get deluded by these stupid "false thoughts" that invade their brain, such as stupid worries and concerns. most moms get stuck in this mindset and are not open to other possibilities or perceptions.

Guys get that too but its a lot easier for them to block it out or ignore it, which may cause problems in the future for the men... like men tend to run away from their problems, instead of facing them head on which girls tend to do more, which also can cause many problems for both the child and the adult...

 

It's a special school for parents to learn how to let go their children; and you are their teacher.

So, like any good teacher, you gotta be lenient and practise patience, humour, detachment, and how to de-activate your push buttons, and keep to your vision instead ... other than that just be yourself and do what you are going to do.

They will (or not) change at their own speed anyway.

 

I just love this response.

You gave me a great giggle and a smile.

But I refuse to be mature at the present time.

 

Nah...we're Canadian.

He's just thinks he's 13 already...but surprisingly will still hug me in front of his friends. He was my clingy baby, so I doubt he'll ever go too far away from me.
