Okay so now I have this covered right? My mother has never had the best of judgment, but I love her - she's my mother right. So she calls me and after the regular bs, she asks, so when are you going to get married? Speachless for a second, I say, my divorce isn't final, then she says I don't want to be an "old maid". Can I just say WTF? When did 23 become an old maid?

Is anyone elses mother an idiot too?

when I was dating my ex.. everytime I saw my mom she asked where my ring was..

great if your an old maid what does that make me a corspe

Not even dating anyone seriously. I am just getting out of a relationship.

my dad is an idiot

i moved 500miles away from my mother.......2500 from my father...it's been great....got an 800 number and said you can call me if you want....

No, my Mom is pretty cool, my Father on the other hand, now that's a whole different topic that I'm still in therapy for.

I would like to add that I've read alot of your posts about the issues your family has, and I just want to commend you on getting through it all and staying strong.

It was just a shock to hear her say that. Once I got off the phone I couldn't help but at my mom's foolishness.

its cool though..enjoy the moments hun..i miss my mum

aww, sorry

I guess I am still in shock from what she did.

they say funny things..maybe she just doesnt want you to be lonely hun

Then she probably shouldn't have asked the last guy I went out with if he was planning on marriage before the first date.

whoops

My Dad tried to set me up with my cousin.. does that qualify him as an idiot??

I swear its true.. dumbass

My mom let me go out with my cousin (never met his side of my family) before she clued me in

I love my parents. Spent 40 years trying to get away from them. Moved a kazillion miles away. Settled down. Living comfortably. Then they retired and moved next to me. Sheesh! I give up.

their stalking you

I had a discussion with my mom a day or two ago about my apparent "homosexuality", being that I'm 35 and not married or even "bangin' some chicks" (to quote my rather loutish, womanizing, Bill-Clinton-could-get-some-pointers-from-him dad).

This was news to me, as-

- I don't recall proclaiming to the world that I had turned gay,

which would be because...

- I'm NOT gay to begin with. In fact, I'm a fully-assured, card-carrying lifetime member of the skirt-chaser's club. I likes tha' wimminz, pure and simple. I just don't go about being a total d-bag about it, as (some of) the ladies don't go for that crap.

My guess is that she's been watching too much of that "Tyra Banks Show" (which I would think is a low-budget version of "Oprah" but with sleazier topics and stuff), which (according to her) is where she got her "over thirty and single?... he's a total turd-burglar" malarkey.

In fact, she would start herself off with, "But TYRA says..." every time she tried to impress me with her failed logic. And most of that was nothing more than the scripted regurgitations of a washed-up supermodel turned trash-TV-talk show host, too- it was almost like talking to a devout Scientologist or something.

I woulda been thoroughly pissed if the whole thing wasn't so damned funny.

I love my Mother, she can be a pain, but it doesn't matter!!
