Parents can be bitches, am I rightt?

[LovelyMalice]

My mom freaks out at me a lot. For like no reason. She wanted me to bring her a pill, but I wasn't sure which one. So I asked her, and she said I should know.So I brought them out to her and she accidentally spills them. She blames it on me, because if I would have known which ones, I wouldn't have had to bring it out to her, and she wouldn't have spilled. She says I should have known, because I take the same stuff. But I haven't taken them in a while, and its a different looking pill since the last time I took them.

So I wasn't sure.....


And that is only ONE example.. gahh.

[Brayden]

Your mother asked you to bring you some unspecified pill, which she the presumably spilled onto the floor. After doing so, she decided it was your fault the pills were spilled out... because they were the wrong ones?

Either you need to completely rephrase your story, or your mother is seriously emotionally unstable.

[LovelyMalice]

Noo.. She asked me to bring her a Midrin. (Which is a pill I take too.)
It is a pain reliever for migrane heeadaches.
It's been a while since I have needed one though, and since the last time I took one, the color of the pill changed.
She thought I knew that, but I didn't.

[Brayden]

Well that explains her irritability. You should be able to relate, if you feel a migraine coming on you'll do whatever the fuck it takes to stop it. So... she sort of had an excuse to be bitchy.

[LovelyMalice]

Truee.. it just gets annoying... She's been like this my whole life, and so.. I get tired of it.

Does that make me a bad person?

[Magus]

Not all the stones shaped the same. My parents are never like that. But, may be because I am the only son around them.

Yeah, and I am huge story before even I was in my mother's womb.

[penguin13]

No - it doesn't make you a bad person. Just try to have a small bit of patience when she is annoying you. Try some anger relief exercises too - they always help.

[LovelyMalice]

It's just.. she is like that ALL the time, for the smallest of reasons!

She asked me to take her clothes out of the dryer, but I forgot.
I apologized right away when I realized, and said I would go down to make sure there weren't any wrinkles.
But she freaks out at me.
She tells me that 'obviously' I am not sorry, because if I was sorry, that I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
That is her comment to nearly everything.
"If you were sorry, then why did you do it in the first place?"

...

[Rutherford The Brave]

Stop complaining and do it in the firstplace. Seriously, how long does it take to get the laundry out of the dryer? Video games can wait.

[Kahn]

It is actually kind of rude to all them bitches.

I know for a fact if I had to get my mother a pill for a migraine and it fell on the floor she would make me get it and yell at me. It's a migraine so they are obviously in pain. Just ignore it, and let it go...

About the laundry. Why didn't you just do it right away? It doesn't take long. Maybe 5 minutes to get it out of the dryer. Five minutes that you probably spend doing something worthless. If you had a good reason you should've just told her the reason, but if you had an excuse like "I was watching T.V" she has reason to yell at you.

[Mattasaur94]

There isn't exactly a good reason to yell at people...
Yelling isn't really a positive way of going about anything.

Sure, parent's get irritable, especially when they havea migraine, but as kids we kind of just have to accept the fact that they probably went through the exact sort of thing when they were our are.

My parent's aren't much better, it's not that they yell at me for when they spill something, ohkay, well, sometimes if their really pissy they go off at who ever is closest, but my parents take advantage of the fact that I can't stand a messed up house, like, to the point where I feel like throwing up, so they'll let it get trashed, leave everyhting out, and wait for me to clean. If I don't clean up it's because I'm hopeless and wasting my life talking to friends or ready or at training...
Thats 1/6 of my life story. ^^

But some people have understanding parents, some have dodgy parents, some have no parents at all.
Just try and avoid thier wrath, if they ask you to do something, write it down and make sure you do it, if their having a pissy day or have a headache, then turn the music down and change rooms your in. Small things matter, and even mere presence can annoy them... O_O

[MaliciousBunface]

My mum is so lazy half the time...she tells me to do stuff wen she cud do it without me...nd she is very irritable by herself without headaches or anythin...sumtimes i get so pissed cuz of it..like get the remote for her wen its in front of her...jeez im like a mini slave :|

My mom isn't going to be home.
And she says, "Get the clothes out of the dryer when they are done."
But, I can't always hear it go off, and I forget they are down there.

[Art_dude]

I'm kind of amazed by how many people are siding with the mom here.... Do you honestly do everything as perfectly as you suggest it?

However, the pill thing I'm gonna have to give to your mom... she had a migraine, probably had a long day and something as small as spilling pills sent her over the top - we all have those days, and that's the last thing we need when we feel like crap. I know it's annoying but try to take that kind of thing with a grain of salt. My mom has a few health issues so I try sympathize when I can, but I understand it's obnoxious nonetheless.

As for the laundry thing (and several other scenarios I'm sure are similar) I COMPLETELY empathize and understand what it's like. You forget something, you didn't hear it go off, etc, etc, and parents go bat shit crazy. It's unfair and when it happens for everything ALL the time it gets emotionally draining and kind of emotionally abusive. I don't think he is saying she's a verbal bully or that he's not at fault sometimes: I think he's just VENTING about being a teen and the annoyance of PARENTS, and I'm right there with him. Here here! *raises glass* Are you not a teen? Do you not have annoying parents? jeez)

[Hollywood]

not ALL parents are bad

my mother is great, but i cant stand my father. it sounds like she may have overreacted a bit, but there's not a whole lot you can do about that. she's your mom, and, if she overreacts like that all the time, complaining about it could result in unfair punsihment.

the migrane may have been to blame for that outlash, i get pretty bitchy when i get migranes too. but as for the laundry, well, i get in trouble for forgetting stuff too, but thats just parents, i guess. you dont do what they tell you, accident or not, they get mad.

Huge bitches

[INFERNO]

The pill thing you should let go, she had a migraine headache and anyone would be more irritable over small things. As for the clothing, if it happened once or so, then fair enough, honest mistake on your part but if it's happened, say more than 10 times in 10 weeks, then I'd have to side with your mother on it.

Exactly its not like she askes you everyday for some pill. She was probably just in a pissed migraine causing mood and she wanted her space.
