Self-entitled parents

More Than Mortal · January 25, 2015, 01:54:29 PM

I've gotten a lot of flack for not thinking very highly about my parents, but I literally just heard my mother from the kitchen saying: "I deserve a medal for being a fucking unrecognised Mother Theresa". It's fucking ridiculous.

ITT: discuss annoying parents.

That certainly is patting herself on the back >_>

Hey, at least they don't resent you.

Except she's right.

I know I never appreciated all that my mother did until I moved out. Moms literally do everything for their kids.

Be more greatful.

"Oh, she's not perfect and feels underappreciated, she must be shit and treated like so", grow the fuck up.

I'm sorry, would you like to educate me more about my own life.

Don't be an idiot; I live with her, you don't. This is a woman who got indignant about getting a ticket for parking in a disabled spot.

I'm not saying she doesn't do a lot--of course she does. I probably wouldn't be able to use this forum if she didn't. The point is that she's a martyr about it when she doesn't get her own way.

That's all women. Not just moms.

I'm only basing my comment off the fact every time you comment about your parents, all you do is say how you don't think they're worth your time.

So what if your mother makes a stupid statement? Are you that ignorant to not see that she might be?
All I see from your posts on the Flood is an unfunny Loaf.

What made her say that?

I place zero stock in entertaining you. What's wrong with being critical of your parents? I would want my children to do exaclty the same for me.

Why the fuck would I come here to post banal platitudes about how my mother's a fucking saint who does a lot for me. It's fairly self-evident she does a lot for me. Discussing it would have literally no utility.

He probs worded his message badly

Parents are people. Some people are shitty.

Being a parent doesn't automatically make you some glorious person.

Don't get me wrong either; she isn't a horrible person. On a fundamental level we just don't 'click' and there are certain things about her I find worthy of criticism. But that's exactly how generations improve upon one another.

While true, nobody is going to improve if you don't tell them what they're doing wrong.

Criticising is fine, but thinking they're dirt just because they're not amazing people is just unfair and childish.
And that's what it seems like, I could write paragraphs about my parents and their failings, but just because they've failed and haven't had the education I have, I'm not going to shit on them.
I'm better than that.

If your mother does a lot for you, that's great, but all you ever come here with is complaints and that's why you look like an idiot, you come across ungrateful and full of shit.
From further posts here, you make a better picture, why not structure the posts better so there's more material to discuss, if that matters to you?

Your opinion of me on this topic is based on a false assumption which, while understandable at first, I have repeatedly shown to be false.

I get why you'd think that of me, and I don't blame you, but that's just me. The day I come here to post something explicitly un-critical of somebody is the day pigs fucking fly. I don't put much efforts into my Flood posts, either, because fuck it--nobody else does.

Eventually, one of your successors will become like your mom.

Still, you get my point of newer generations trying to improve, leading to a replication of the previous generation at some point.

Example for my own pleasure:
Scientist has rebel son
Rebel son has scientist as son
Scientist has rebel son
Rebel son has ignorant redneck
Ignorant redneck has an open-minded redneck
Environment will determine how that goes, but anything is basically possible.

Well that's all perfectly fine. Although, effort does get put into some posts here, just not many thanks to the sheer amount of shitposting.

I do admit to jumping the gun with my first post.
