classic mother quotes ....following on from the mil thread

[robinredbreast]

right well we know what bitches mil can be,
now lets dish the dirt on our mums lol

heres a few examples of my mother

after a drug free childbirth foowed by repair op for 4th degree tear, she kept pestering me to have salt water baths i asked the midwife and was told not to that it was too harsh,she turns round all pissed off well women had to be a lot tougher in my day

when i said to friend that i suprised myself hwo well i coped at the birth and that i felt as if i sort of went into a zone in my mind,mum said well thats just the gas and air
[well i wasnt even on gas and air at the pushing stage]

now dd is here and a total star its like she hates it and wants her to be naughty! mum says well i never thought you cope as well as you are, thought youd be all strug out by now didnt you?

i love the way she puts me down and then tries to get me to fucking agree with it
not anymore !!!

My mum was lovely when we were growing up, but has morphed into a mad old woman; critical and always right. The one comment from her that always sticks in my head: when my baby son had excema on his face and arms 'Do you think it's because you insist on using those organic products on him?"

Oh yes, and when he was 4 and was so lazy at going to the loo that quite often he would have skidmarked pants "Do you think it's those pills you give him?" (Those pills were kids' probiotics prescribed by the doctor after a bout of diarrhoea)

lol love this thread

my mums best was to my sisters husband, after i decided to suspend my uni course for a year-
"the only one (i have 2 brothers and 2 sisters) who hasnt made a failure of themself is X (my brother, who failed his gcse's,quit every course since then and just has a normal job out the paper-didnt actually start working till he was 20, and lives at home with her still demanding food, ironing, washing etc-even waking her at 7am to iron his clothes when she is sick-ive done my gcse's and a levels gettin 4 A's, 5 B's ("oh only a B in history") and then 2 A's, 1 B, and got into redbrick uni whilst working continuously since i was 12- cash in hand till 15 obv!)"

oh and even though i am due to give birth this month, and was meant to enter my final year of uni this september just gone (thats why i suspended my course- so i can have baby and BF! and then go back next sept and do my best for course and baby)-
"you can still finish uni and have the baby, you're only having a baby for gods sake. why dont you do all the work now"
(it was august- how am i meant to do a yr long dissetation, all the exams, and essays in 2months, and when uni doesnt even open up again till end of Sept! its not a "at your own pace" degree, have to do them to the uni's deadlines not mine!)

and when my other brother who none of us like due to a number of things turned up at her doorstep when i was 15 (i was living with my dad, my other brother-the blue eye- was living with my mum and was 19)- needing somewhere to stay she sent him to my dads and made him take him in because "it would upset X (other brother) too much" if he stayed at hers. hellooo? i was 15 and dealing with all of a sudden being about to move into new house with new step mum too! he was 19 and couldve moved out! apparenlty i could have "moved back in" with her if brother moving in was "too much for me"- and do the 2hour journey to school!

sorry mine are all long!!
