    Things My Mom Refuses To Accept About Me

    I don't want kids. Boo freakity hoo. You have two kids, not one. Your daughter wants to have kids eventually, why isn't that enough?

    I'm not religious. I haven't been since I was a kid. I just didn't say anything for years cause it was never questioned. But within recent years, I've been getting the "Do you believe in God?" crap from her. The first time she asked that, I answered that I'm not sure and she freaked. Pretty hypocritical for someone who only goes to church once or twice a year.

    My choice in friends. Yes, being good friends with my ex is once of the worst ideas I've ever had. Yes, even though I was the one who broke up with her over a year ago, I still have feelings for her and I probably always will. Yes, she continues to hurt me a lot. But damnit, she's still the best friend I have and if I stop being friends with her, who do I have? No one.

    I don't want to do stuff with family I don't like. Mainly my cousin that causes a lot of trouble. I don't like him. He screwed me over before he screwed up his life, he's annoying as hell now. Why would I want to torture myself for that?

    That I enjoy time away from my family. Anytime I come home for a four day weekend or break, God forbid I don't choose to go back to school at the last minute. I like to have a day to relax at school before the week starts. I get four weeks off for winter break this year. I'm planning on going back half a week or so early before classes start. I KNOW she's going to put up a fight over this. Sorry but there's nothing to do at home when I'm not working. Sitting around the house bored as hell isn't awesome.

    My classes start back on the 14th. The absolute latest I plan on being back home (yes, I consider my apartment 'home' now) is the 5th. My parents are both upset.

    Whatevs. If they'd both sober up and be normal, I'd stay longer.

      When I was in college, it sometimes seemed to me like my mom was on my back constantly. What made it worse was that I lived at home while I was going to college. I didn't "go off to college" and live in a dormitory. On top of that, I was working about 30 hours per week at a retail job on top of going to school full time, so when I was at home, I usually wanted to chill out and have a little peace and quiet. However, my mom usually didn't want to let that happen. As soon as I escaped away to my room to zone out for a while and recharge, there would be this little "knock knock" at the door, and it'd be Mom wanting to talk to me about something.

        When I was in the service and living half a country away my mom would always get upset that I wouldn't call every freaking day.

          I think your mom had a little more to worry about than my mom. I don't have people gunning for me 24/7 in a lecture or lab.

            I was in country and it was pre 9/11. Though granted she was sobbing that day scared I was going to be shipped out. I do see your point though I never really thought about the fact that something could happen.

            I was stationed at Fort Hood and until the latest incident I had always thought of it as a safe place.

              I'm 25, married, and live in Texas, while my parents live in Wisconsin. I work from home, so even though I do live in a big city, I'm not out and about much. I don't even drive most days, since we only have one vehicle and my husband takes it to go to work. The neighborhood we live in is very nice and secure, there have never been any problems in the 5 years my husband has lived here. No robberies or car jackings or assaults.

              My mom insists on talking to me at least every two days, and even then, if we go for more than 4 days with less than 3 conversations, she freaks out. In other words, she wants to talk to me every single day and on the rare times that I don't talk to her for a day, she wants to know why I didn't call her, what I was doing, if I'm alright, etc.

                My friend is sure doing a whole lot to prove my choice wrong today.

                  Bummer, man!


                  I think my parents have finally worked out just how much I choose to be me! Probably had something to do with refusing to go to my sister's wedding all those years ago.. when I was living with the parents again!

                    If I can't talk to her about her sexual issues with her fuckbuddy, she has nothing else in her life to talk about so since I refuse to talk about that, I'm ruining our friendship. She is the dumbest smart person I know.

                      Ah! Yes. That.... You've just caught the train to Sucksville!

                      Been there, heard that.... not there now. (and why do they have to get all pissy about it??? 'Dumbest smart person' sounds about right!)

                        Damn, Greenday, I am SO onboard with you about the faimly thing that if you were here, I would high five you, shower you with pizza and cake and slap a <<insert favorite alchohol or other beverage of choice>> in your hand!

                        Family does NOT give you a free pass with me to be an asshole. My mom has finally come to terms with that, and my wife is solidly on board. Of course, now we have to work on her family.

                          She was in a car accident tonight. Some guy rear-ended her and can't explain what the hell he was doing. No major injuries but she just texted me from the ER. I can't lose my friend over dumb shit. Life is too short.

                              My mom was really pissed about be admitting that I was a freak. I am a female that is an engineer, likes cartoons (anime), single, and happy.

                              I will do what I want when I want it. If you disagree with my life then go away and don't talk to me.
