Man Beats Parent Whilst Horrified Cooked Legumes Watch!
Threatening to bash mummy.

I'm going to preview this tale with a couple of salient points - I'm an only child, my mum was a single mother all of my life by her own choice (she had boyfriends but never wanted to settle down). She raised me to be generally polite and respectful towards people who had earned my respect, she also taught me to never hit a woman (which I have followed as rule ever since). We very rarely got on (chalk & cheese) but I had a lot of respect for her due to her drive and achievements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About 7 years ago my mum died. It was mostly the lung then brain cancer that got her (but she did manage to get her PhD 6 mths. before she karcked it - I made sure she was Dr. on her grave slab thing as it was obviously important to her). She was adamant that she wanted to stay at home for as long as possible, which meant I had to care for her and eventually coordinate all her home-care. This entailed me basically having to leave my wife and bubby, take leave from work and return to the family manse to live (on & off) for about 6 mths. which as you might imagine was fairly stressful.

I had to attend to all of my small,frail mum's needs. Including bodily lifting her into and out of the bath (she was a Pom and I indulged her because she loved having a bath - 1 regret I have is that when she went into palliative care I tried very hard to get her a final bath and couldn't).
Anyway - one night I just couldn't do it. Mum started getting upset @ not having her bath and things went from there. All of the frustration I'd felt over the last 6 mths. came out - having to wait for hours at a time after the scheduled appt. time to see her oncologist, missing my missus & 2 yo. daughter, watching my mum get even sicker after every round of chemo/radio. Everything... I ended up standing over my mum shouting at her (bearing in mind that we fought like cats & dogs anyway).
She said to me at a lull in my tirade -
"Are you going to hit me now?" not flinching but genuinely scared.
EDIT: I should point out - my mum's first marriage was physically abusive for both parties and she did have tumours in her brain at the time of this incident, so she could well have confused me for someone in her past who had hit her.
I knew she was being manipulative. But it stopped me dead.
I said matter-of-factly - "No Mum. You've always taught me not to hit women." But it hit me a bit like a brick shouldn't (thank you Mr. Adams). In that moment I saw my mum as human being rather than a parent and it scared, shamed but enlightened me.

Non-the-less the horror feeling I had & the fact that my mum seriously thought I might have hit her left me sobbing. (Call me an Internet Pussy once you've worn these soles 9-5).
She gave me a big hug.
To all the Usual Suspects - trust me nothing you could possibly say would make me feel any worse than that moment. But I'll steal your thunder by saying -
My Mom.
Apologies for length? Try the 2 years it took from her being diagnosed to when she died.

EDITED a little bit to bring it up to date and whatnot.

To be honest, other MM,
you made a bit of a prat of yourself, last time, and I don't really see how reposting this story is relevant to this week's question, so it's hard to see this as anything other than troll bait.

It's the only attention he ever gets since his mummy killed herself.

It's not 2007 you know.
This board has moved on from this type of thing. Now say something about bins.

Sorry about your mum and all.

Alright Brigadier.

Very well thank you for asking.


Working today, but will be watching the cricket, and this afternoon I’ve got a new car being delivered. I may forego the traditional Friday evening bottle of wine and take the girl for a spin.

I love it that you had to be taught not to hit women, and still need to have a rule about it now.

(Brigadier an old boot sitting on a man's face - forever, Fri 2 Aug 2013, 8:14, closed)

It's like rule 34
only less about porn and more about not hitting people.

How many women have you hit in your lifetime ringofyre?
My score is 0. That's because my mother raised me well.

I trust your parents did a good job too.
(Misery McUglywife an attention seeking sociopathic fuckstain., Fri 2 Aug 2013, 9:34, closed)

She raised you to be a dull prick with no ambition, no sense of humour, and no self awareness.
She sounds like a typical self-indulgent colonial twat.

Hundreds. Barely a moment goes by that I'm not turning some bint's face into a bloody pulp.
My mum taught me to never shit in the washing machine and to this day I make it a rule to never shit in it.

Thank god I had such an amazing mother. Without her I'd be shitting in not just the washing machine, but probably all the other white goods too.

I've worn those shoes since Dec 2008.
Does that mean I get to call you an internet pussy? Oh good, thanks for the permission.

This seems unlikely.
He's clearly the only person in the world who has ever experienced these entirely normal events otherwise why the fuck would he think any other cunt was interested in his dreary ramblings about it every single fucking week.
(alright alright, Fri 2 Aug 2013, 9:15, closed)

I think an Aussie owning shoes is pretty unlikely, to be honest.
I was lead to believe it's all thongs and that.

You know, if you spent less time on here trying to win internet friends you might have some original stories,
instead of resorting to reposting shit that nobody cared about the first time round.

You know, if you spent less time on here trying post the same old tired responses to original posts you might have some original stories.

Don't worry Chinny, no one really gives a shit about your posts but you.
Happy Candle-Day btw!

I admire your commitment. I reckon you've got the best of this lot. Your mother would no doubt be very proud of your achievement.
