What is it with Moms? How do they know, seemingly by magic, that you're down and upset and need to hear from them, even when you don't realize it?

To all the Moms out there, just so you know, your kids may never tell you, but I promise, sometimes your voice still has the magic that made scrapped knees better and could fix anything. It dosen't change with age or with matruity on the part of your kids.

Awww. For moms. :rose:

My mom just called me earlier and she's the one having troubles with a jerky boyfriend and a crappy job. She apologized for unloading emotional shit on me and I was like "Hello, how many times have I called you up and started sobbing?" :rolleyes: I know she would move mountains to help me and I would do the same for her. :heart:
 
Just posting so y'all know it's not just on the female side...

My Dad's cool and all...and sure, there are things I would rather talk to him about. But my Mom rocks!
 
I'm really hurt with my mother right now, to the point that I can't even talk to her, but this just reminded me that although I think what's going on now is really shitty, she has been there for me more times than not.

Thanks.
 
My mom always knows when something is wrong...I swear she has ESP!

Sometimes she'll call just when I need to let it loose...She's a wonderful person...friend...mother and I tell her that all the time.
 
My mom is very kind. A bit of worry wart and passive-aggressive, but very sweet. And very polite, even when she disapproves of things, like my lifestyle for instance.

If I were your mom, I'd be worried about your lifestyle too... :D

Hey, I can take a good ribbing. But, seriously, she is a sweetheart. Not pretentious or snobbish in any way. A plain country girl.

I sure hope you can...and I am glad she is...

I know that I have seen how my girl is as a mother, and she is rather impressive. She and her daughter have a great relationship, full of trust, affection, and communication. And she is capable of being strict when she needs to be too. Which is good, especially for a hyperactive girl like her daughter. A sweet child, but full of excess energy. She needs a mother like my girlfriend.

If I had no sense of humor, I could never make friends at the AH. Luckily, I seem to have several.

And thanks. I'd tell her what you said, but she doesn't know that I frequent this site, and it's best that I keep it that way.
 
My mom was the same.. she always knew when to call and that something was wrong.. She passed away last Sept. 4th and I miss her so much at times.. I wish I could her here voice again.. sometimes I pick the phone up and dial her number without even thinking about it only to realize she'll never answer again..

If you haven't called or seen your mom and/or your dad lately.. do so today or as soon as you can.. you have no guarantee you'll be able to tomorrow..

Unfortunately, my mom doesn't have that magic. She just likes to nag.
 
i don't have that type of relationship with anybody. At one point i did with the person that posts on these forums as cricketbug, but that's been some time ago. We used to joke that we'd keep each other regular. Better than fiber! :D

It makes me worry that i won't be able to have that ESP thing when my kids have problems.
 
My mom just called. She gave me some great advice and helped me remember to laugh at my troubles.... I mean, it is pretty funny... I guess....

I definitely don't have it with my mother. All I feel for her any more is indifference. Occasionally, when she sticks her nose in my business, I'll up that to annoyance. I don't care enough to even fight with her. *shrug*

My mother would move heaven and earth for me; she also makes me miserable. :D I love her. She loves me. I love her. It's life, eh? You give, you get.
 
Decided to reply for once....

My Mom is awesome! I don't think I tell her so near enough. My mother-in-law is great too. Both are good strong women that have always been there for me and have that ESP thing going. However; both would be shocked and probably force me with a lighted torch and at the point of a pitchfork to church if they even had a hint I played around on a sight called Literotica.
Hell, there would be a rivival tent and the whole choir singing to me on the front lawn if they knew I actually wrote stories on here too!
Cool thread. :D
 
I really loved my mon too. She died about a year ago, at the age of 89, beloved by everybody. I still miss her but, to be honest, she had been failing health and pain for a long time so it was probably a blessing.

Amen :)
 
From a different perspective...

I never knew my father and the stepfather was not worth remembering.

My mother abandoned me in favor of the step father and I never forgave her, but cared for her, day by day, for the last five years of her life as a heart attack victim.

The mother of my children was not a mother, just a means and remains such to this day, thus to my children, I am both mother and father and it is not an easy task.

Parentage and...obligation are strange responsibilities, accepted and honored by some, rejected or ignored or misunderstood by others.

Take what you get, I guess, be happy with what you have and do not seek justice or fair play in this world for there is none.

This is not bitterness speaking, nor remorse, just awareness, sometimes we have to play the hand we are dealt.

amicus...
