My mother may nag me all the time for suggested life choices, but she was always there when I needed her. She made good meals every night and gave me a lot of attention. There are some actions I disagree with my mother, but she always want the best for me and my sister. My grandmother and my friend's grandparents recent passings made me realize that life is short. Life is also the sum of our memories. Take charge of your life and enjoy your time on Earth the best you can.

I'm going to help out around the house more often.

 

[Banjotanooki]

She just gave me a $25 gift card to Chili's so yea, fo sho.

 

[XBP]

Yes I do, more than anything to be honest. She has always been there when I've needed her and sacrificed so much to get me to where I am today. Not sure if I'd be the same person without her in my life.

 

[AlexMogil]

Nope.


Dad, sure.

 

[Betty]

Sorry to hear about your grandmother but you have the right attitude, the time now should be cherished.

And yes I love my mother.

 

[Daingurse]

Absolutely, but I do hate my dad.

 

[Grinchy]

I did

 

[Shaanyboi]

Yup. She's an incredibly kind-hearted human being who always put the well-being of her kids above all. She didn't have an easy life and two unsuccessful marriages, but she worked her ass off for us.

 

[SniperHunter]

yea i love both my parents. my dad doesnt like me at all cause i have made some really disastrous choices in life so far, but my mom loves me

 

[guek]

 

[Sub_Level]

Definitely.

 

[Damerman]

yes, i love my mother. She has her demons that may make me distance myself from her, but i would not be half the man I am if it wasn't for her.

 

[RoKKeR]

Absolutely.

 

[MTE]

To be honest, I don't know.
There's the sort of sense of familial duty to her, I suppose, but I don't know if I love her. Or my Dad, for that matter.
I have a strange relationship with my parents, and often wonder how I'll feel when they die.
It'll be an interesting time. I'll probably mourn what they could have been, and not what they were or are.

 

[Fathead]

No.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Absolutely

I did

Sorry to hear man it must of been tough

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Good for you. My mom made sure rules were in place and that I followed them even though I was incredibly disrespectful and mean at times. When my brain stopped being stupid in college I came to my senses, called my mom and thanked her and my dad. I have a great relationship with them now. They saved me from some poor choices. So, yes. I do love my mother.

 

[Intheflorsh]

It's a mutual love-hate relationship, but it's mostly love.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Very much so.As well as my father.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

She verbally and physically abused me. She neglected me. Locked me in my room very often. Bed time was 5-6pm every night, no matter my age. Hit me in the face and back with wooden spoons, shoved dirty dish clothes and sponges in my face. If I wanted water I had to drink out of the toilet. Wouldn't let me have baths unless my grandma was coming over. Never, not once, walked me to the bus stop or school.Left me emotionally scared and because of her I have trust issues. Didn't want me to get adopted, so could've been abused even more.

Short answer: she can go straight to hell.

 

[Scooby]

Fuck yeah I do! My mom is awesome.

Spoiler

I wish she wasn't so damn religious though.

 

[John Kowalski]

Sort of. It's hard.

 

[injurai]

Very much so.

 

[Soma]

Hell yeah.

I can be an ungrateful asshole at times but she does way more for me than I deserve. Always been there for me and supported me when I needed it.

 

[vinnygambini]

I adore my mother to death.

Parents got separated at an early age. My father stopped paying his alimony when I reached 21, he said: "you are no longer a burden in my life."

Haven't spoke to him since. Not a father figure I look up too.

 

[Escape Goat]

I miss my parents. They live so far away.

 

[FRV]

Very much. Too nice, more than I deserve.

 

[maxcriden]

Yes, she's a compassionate and loving person who genuinely cares deeply for me. I appreciate her immensely and I love her.

 

[hipbabboom]

I love both my parents though my mother makes it easier to love her more often than my dad does. Life because easier when you can get to the point where you have unconditional love for someone meaning "I love you but I'm gonna call you on your shit!"

 

[Toxi]

After everything she's done for me, of course I love her.

 

[RaGNaRoK 2k5]

Obligatory.

 

[eliza0224]

Damn right I do. She's a single mom and has worked like crazy to give me the life she couldn't have when she was young. I owe who I am to her

 

[zeemumu]

Yeah. She gets on my nerves but she means well, and she's done a lot and put up with a lot of bitching and moaning.

 

[Dominator]

Yes, love her to bits. She's done so much for me and my brother growing up and I know it was tough raising us alone. I saw/see my father quite a bit but she was our rock.

 

[Damerman]

She verbally and physically abused me. She neglected me. Locked me in my room very often. Bed time was 5-6pm every night, no matter my age.

Short answer: she can go straight to hell.

Damn, I thought this was a joke post at first, but I'm so sorry to hear that this is how your mother was. I think it's incredibly unfair that i had a mother who sacrificed so much for me and my siblings and your upbringing and anchor was with an arguably innately evil person. this really hurts me.

 

[TAJ]

Yes, but the personality changes she's gone through since menopause have made her impossible to tolerate sometimes.

 

[FZZ]

I love both my parents

 

[jmdajr]

Absolutely

 

[styl3s]

Absolutely.

I talk to her on a daily basis and i can't think of anyone on this planet who i love more because no matter how hard i fall shes always been there to pick me up. Any time or day if i need her she's there and i love her for it.

She's supported me 110% for everything i have done and wanted to do and if it wasn't for her support and push of "make mistakes and learn for them" i wouldn't be the man i am today.

Yes, but the personality changes she's gone through since menopause have made her impossible to tolerate sometimes.

Does your mom actually admit to having it? My mom is in 110% denial, even when she is clearly having a hot flash she tells me and my sister she isn't because she doesn't get hot flashes and menopause passed her.

 

[CitizenCope]

Very much. She worked two jobs pretty much my entire life to keep us in our house.
Smothered in love, hugs, kisses, wisdom etc...
Just a great human being.

 

[Couleurs]

She died a little over a year ago, but hell yeah I love her. She busted her ass to raise me and my sisters by herself and we wouldn't have turned out as well as we did without learning how to handle life by watching her.

 

[Santiako]

Of course, she's amazing.

 

[TAJ]

Absolutely, but I do hate my dad.

Because he made you hate him or because of how awful your mom told you he is?

My parents never said anything negative about each other after they got divorced. Not once, not even passively.
But I've noticed that a lot of other parents tried to poison their kids' relationships with their exes and the kids usually ended up hating the parent they didn't live with.

 

[Currygan]

yes. She got her flaws for sure, but she's crazy, eccentric, open minded, and very kind to anyone. She was a loving and respectful wife to my dad, and never preferred me over my sister or vice versa. She teached me that skin colour doesn't mean shit, and that tolerance and irony (expecially self) are potent antidotes to this shitty world

 

[Stinkles]

 

[esms]

Fuck yeah man! Only woman who can make me cry just from recounting my childhood.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Of course!

 

[Wedge7]

Yes, so much so.

It actually boggles my mind sometimes how lucky I am, and how well my mom (and the rest of my family actually) treat me, and how I honestly dont really deserve it. She treats me like a king, and is always fussing over me and worrying about me. I am hideously spoiled heh. I am totally a mamas boy lol

 

[sappyday]

As crazy as she is, yes.

 

[TAJ]

Does your mom actually admit to having it?

No, but she tried hormone replacement, so yes?
She got better but I think she's off it right now.

Hormones are fucking scary-powerful shit.
