My mum just put this up on FB.
Standard jokey meme... except when I was a teenager she was completely off the rails, barely ever home and certainly when I was a kid she was fairly ragey and not known for holding back with the slaps/wooden spoon/thumping. If we had a standard mother-child argument she would drive off in the car. When I was 13/14 I went to bed most nights in my uniform with a knife under my pillow because I was alone so much.
So you know Mum, FUCK OFF. Grandchildren are the reward you get for me not strangling you and finding a way to forgive you for it all.
Christ. Perspective taking is not her strong point. Just had to get it out somewhere.
