awful family of the day...horrible parents with three kids who could be heard yelling throughout the entire grocery store. The mother was totally useless and the kids knew it. Of course, the little girl had a fit because SHE WANTED TO HOLD THE ICE CREAM (kid was probably tired) holding up the entire line, while the parents 'negotiated' with her. I had the good sense not to get in line behind them. I know by now: useless parents + spoiled brats= 15 extra minutes in the checkout line.

Women who have had the FREEDOM to be able to choose - whether that choice is to be a mother, give up their baby for adoption, or abortion - shouldn't switch sides to be pro-life. YOU got the freedom to choose, and now you want to ensure that other women don't get the same freedom you had? Oy. I would never presume to know what is best for another woman dealing with an unplanned pregnancy; all women should have CHOICE.

I got into an argument with my mother, left to cool down and avoid saying something I can't take back, ate lunch together in silence and then she started up again. This time sh stormed off calling me an f***ing bitch twice and then adding that I should f*** off. Strangely, I don't feel that sad. I feel indifferent, almost as if I knew it was coming. She never apologizes so I dont expect it. I do expect her to blame me for it and tell me "I forced her to say that and maybe I did because its true." I keep dreaming of a day when I'm not in emotional pain and someone will say I love you

Yes Mum, you are correct. I wouldn't let him come over and see me while I was back at home recovering from my operation because I didn't want him to meet you. Prove to me that you aren't going to act like a stuck up, judgemental, over-protective mother hen, then maybe you can meet him. I'm not buying into this 'No man will ever be good enough for my daughter' act any more.

I feel like my younger brother has the life I should have had. Even from music lessons, sports, private schools, college opportunities, never worrying about money, and now his engagement. All while I was abused, used, and abandoned, take care of our drug addict mother, earn everything myself, and by myself. I guess I am a stronger person, but what's the point?

Would anyone really able to hang up the phone or not pick up their mother's calls? Seriously. If i don't pick up she keeps calling until 8 to 9 times continuously three times in a day. I really don't pick this for myself, as much as i would like to cut her off, somewhat it's almost impossible. That phrase, 'she is still your mother', is buried in my mind. Maybe because i grew up like this and it's hard to get away.

My mother got arranged marriage at 19. Our culture shunned down divorce. I used to think that im glad my parents stayed together. Now that i see it, i never seen them having a date night, or be lovey dovey with each other. Its always bickering, fight, and my mom insulted my dad so badly, he just took it. I always wonder if they are happy at all. Its probably why they never say they loved us kids.

Sometimes I can't stand my mother. I have a lot on my plate and I do the best I can to help her out with things around the house and do the shopping (even if it means going to bed very late just so that all my work is done) and she still puts me down. She has a way of breaking my confidence and making very negative comments about everything. Heaven forbid she sees me watching tv or reading a book, that's the way she starts with "what have you done all day?" "must be nice to have time to do that" and etc. We all need time for ourselves! Stop yelling for once, even my family tells her to lay off

Hate that I wasted 9 months of my life with some stupid mother fucker.

My mother has an amazing skill where she can (and does!) find something wrong with any and everything. It does not matter what I do, wear, eat, say, think, watch, or listen to, she will find something negative to say about it. The judgement gets really old sometimes.
