not at all random thought
it's the tiniest bit tricky to buy your mom a Mother's Day card the day after she tells you that your perpetually empty womb is an insult and a disappointment to her.

You know, I'm sticking to my suggestion that you tell them you've had a hysterectomy. That you think the world is over-populated. Throw in something about Jesus, too. That oughta do it.
ReplyDeleteI think my mother has made comments like that an art form actually (if you include at the same time calling me fat), so I stay away from all cards made for mothers day. They do not apply. I either buy blank ones with a kitten on the front and scratch something random on the inside or I just send her flowers so she gets a generic happy mother's day! card (that's literally all it says: "happy mother's day! Love, Kim) included thanks to ProFlowers.com.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so sad. :-(
ReplyDeleteMother's are really, really good at that - make one feel like shit (but with love!)because they care.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to know that after I provided the lovely grandchildren, my mother told me that I was now even fatter.
ReplyDeleteMother's are never satisfied.
Wow... My mom never made me feel like that. I agree with EB72 - sad stuff, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to know that after I provided the lovely grandchildren, my mother told me that I was now even fatter. hahahahahahahah That WILL SOO BE MY MOM! Plus, she'll no doubt tell me I'm spoiling them.

I'm convinced that mothers will never be happy with their daughters. Seriously. I escaped the grandchildren bit because my brother beat me to it -- a few months after his high school graduation. But if its not the lack of a man or children, it will be something else -- like your hair or your weight or your clothes.
ReplyDeleteIt's their convuluted way of telling you they love you -- they're not criticizing -- they're just trying to get you to reach your potential.
Yeah, right.
