to wish my mother would talk normally?

[IAmAlwaysLikeThis]

Every sentence has some twee, often made-up word in it.

“Pass me the dooda” instead of “pass me that plate”.

“Would you like a sploosh of tea?” instead of “would you like a tea?”

“be careful in case the fridge makes an avalanche” instead of “the fridge is full so be careful”.

It just makes me cringe. It’s impossible to talk to her normally. I know we all have our own little mannerisms but it’s just constant and grating. The thing is that she’s so grumpy and angry most of the time that it just doesn’t go with her personality at all which makes it more annoying.

so ‘a tea’ is irritating but ‘the flobbity blob is on the thingameedooda’ is chill with you? K.

Nothing you’ve reported your mother as saying comes close to the deep irritation of chill and K

Almost as annoying as when people type 'u' when the mean you.

Hurrah Aridane thank god someone else is outraged at 'K' in the OP's reply to me

K?!

Hoist by her own petard.

OP

...and don’t think she’s just a sweet harmless old lady and that when she’s gone I’ll be popping her into her wee coffiny woffiny and mourning the beautiful inane shite she comes out with.

Niiice. You sound delightful.

Agree Katekat and Im hoping my dd won't be such a niiiiiiccceee person when I'm in my coffy woffy and she wants her inheritance

Some people are so dense they can't see beyond their relationship with their own mummy, usually the ones who are besties with them and don't realise some mothers are shit and abusive

Having a good relationship with my Mum doesn't make me dense thanks, what a nasty bloody thing to say

My mum pronounces lots of words as if they were French.
It's batshit.

When your mum is gone you will miss the day she spoke

Er, nope, not really.

I can't remember my mum's voice, 19 years ago. I can remember my grandma, grandpa, uncle. Just not hers, I don't understand it.

@Wonkysack - I know what you mean. I kept her last voice mail for so long but it was wiped eventually. Tonight of all nights, I miss her. I am sorry for those of you who did not have a good relationship with your M, actually I had a troublesome one with my own, but I did love her, and I miss her so much.

Op I get it. I find one of my parents deeply irritating. So much so I want to pull my own eyelashes out around them over the stupidest little things that wouldn't bother anyone else. I recognise that it's because they got things catastrophically wrong when I was growing up and what I'm really feeling is anger about that. I've had to live with them on and off as an adult because of disability and it has nearly killed me. I don't doubt I have my flaws too but I didn't make the massive parenting mistakes they did over many years. It's not as simple as sitting down and having a chat when someone has been abusive is it?

Tbh with half of mn saying 'you'd miss her if she was dead' I'd just go ahead and murder your mother. The source of the problem would be gone and you could make everyone happy by making a new thread about pretending to miss her annoying habits. Murder solves everything.

That was supposed to be a

Having a good relationship with my Mum doesn't make me dense thanks, what a nasty bloody thing to say

Hmm except thats not what I said, is it 🙄🙄

I do it because my brain doesn’t find words fast, probably down to the bipolar meds, I think it would irritate me too if I was on the other end of it though

I’d just go ahead and murder your mother
Err... what the actual fuck are you going on about??

OP if you want to get support, start a thread about how your mum said "can't wait to go on holibobs with the famalam and make memories" or better yet posted it on Facebook. You will get 100s of replies agreeing SIBVVVVVVVVVUR

Oh fuck off Missy, it was a joke in solidarity with the op. My comment was firmly tongue in cheek.

Fuck of yourself gendercritter I couldn’t understand a word of your post just sounded like gobbledygook!

You two silly Billys really must stop this argy bargy and make friendsy wendsies

I do this, too. It's because I am bored and like to be playful with language. It didn't occur to me that other people might find it irritating

No need for this stroppy woppy sweary weary!

My mother insists on pronouncing houmous ‘Hugh-mousse’. It drives me MAD!!!!

That's what Delia calls it Fenella. m.youtube.com/watch?v=j90J7fPTr_c
