Leather clothing? Jesus, mom

[Ms_Lilith]

Yesterday, my mother and I went to this really nice Leather store, cus she wanted to buy a pair of leather pants. She's 46, so I thought this was pretty cool. We're going to the Cher concert at the end of July, and we're both wearing our leather pants.. but... she didn't stop at the pants.. she also decided to buy a leather jacket and a leather skirt. Now then. It was a pricey bill, but she forked over the dough, and I'm wondering... does her little leather purchase (a bit over the top,d on't you think) have anything to do with mid-life crisis? (Mom calls it midlife celebration). I mean, she looks realy good in it all, but I just..I didn't expect it...

I WANT A LEATHER JACKET.

hmf.

I WANT A LEATHER JACKET.

I think that says it all.

Good for her - sounds like she's hit "mid-life confidence." Over the top* would be a leather bustier, motorcycle hat and riding crop.

*only to ME, I must add.

LOL It's not like she's dead, ya know. Maybe she just wants to live it up a little. I often find that I buy things that I was not allowed to or didn't have the money for when I was younger. Maybe that's all it is.

I know what you're going through.

My mom has always told me to shoot low on vehicles, i.e. cheap.

I've had three trucks in the past three years, each around $2000 (not including repairs and new motors), when I could have bought one truck for $8000 and still be driving it.

Her rationale on the $8000 truck was, "It's almost 6 years old. How do you know it's going to last you?" I then bought a truck that was almost 20 years old. After the transmission went out and the frame broke on it, I sold it and bought a truck that was 16 years old. Went through three engines and a transmission on that one. Now I have a truck that's 35 years old and not too long ago had the engine rebuilt.
Two months ago, my mother bought a 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette, which cost $20,000.

So here's a rundown:

1980 Ford Bronco:$2000 + $375 transmission rebuild - $50 sale
1984 Chevy Suburban:$1700 + $650 engine + $650 engine + $400 transmission rebuild
1967 Ford F100:$2300 + $2200 engine rebuild

Total: $10225, not including wheel tax, plates, insurance.

2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette:$20000, not including wheel tax, plates, insurance.

Where's the thinking?

Hey, parents are human. They're not always right. They're not infallible. Sometimes they're stupid, just like the rest of us. And it's a case of "do as I say, not as I do". And some days they get really cranky and take it out on you.

nonono.. I don't have a PROBLEM with her buying all that stuff.. I encouraged her to buy it.. I just can't believe she did! She's always been so... conservative.. But, she is my mom, so I know there's fire in her somewhere...

Go Mom!

It's a great feeling to buy something you look good in. I bet your mother felt wonderfully sexy in those clothes. More power to her, I say.

I didn't think you had a problem with it - I can imagine that it must have been unnerving.

I about freaked the first time my mom said "fuck" - not that she says it all the time, but it astounded me that it was even in her mental vocabulary.

I have an almost 14 year old daughter who just thinks i'm her mom. You know, just a mom kinda mom. Maybe a bit more open about some stuff but still, i'm just her mom.

I'm her mom just like all your moms are your moms.

Y'all might view me a little differently, here.
So it has to be with your moms.

We're only "just mom" to you, our kids. To everyone else we're women, and we're as sexual, open, experiemental, wild, and wanton as you've ever been, too - only we were there first!

My mother has had this pair of leather thigh high spike heeled boots since the 70's.
About a month ago she pulled them out of the closet. I caught her and said "Oh no! Unless your planning next year's halloween costume you put those puppies back in the box!"
She may be a hottie for a grandmother, but I just can't deal with the idea of my mom in killer bitch boots.

Besides, if she starts wearing them she might notice they're gone when I borrow them.

Aren't you a stupid mom also? I'm a really stupid dad to my 14 year old daughter. She has an affliction similar to most teeny boppers.

Whenver I ask her to do something, I get this

Perhaps your mom is a "dom".
