Foo - Is it lame to mention your mother?

Like:

I was at my mothers house last night.....

My mother told me......

When I got up my mother told me she had breakfast ready.

And so on.

I know there is the 40 year old still at home etc, but what do you first think of when someone mentions their mother?

Just wondering because my mother is coming in in about a month. :)

I live 9,000 miles away from my mom.

I am a mother and I am not lame. So the answer is no.

Not lame. When my friend and I talk to each other and one of us mentions or talks of our mothers, it's good form to tip or remove any hats at the mention of her. A few words of praise goes a long way too.

I think it's hella cool to mention your mom.

Why not? If someone has an issue with that, they've got.....well, issues.

Several people at my office have elderly mothers. We talk about them all the time.

Before we sold our house that was purchased 20 some-odd years ago (with my ex-husband) - and the fact that I moved upstairs so we could rent my place out and make some money - this little woman gets up at 5:30 am without an alarm clock every day ... and the few days she did not - ----- I tip toed through the apartment and looked at her to look for her breathing - it was sooo out of the ordinary. She laughed when I told her - but hell it was out of the ordinary.

Not lame at all to mention Mom.

Anyone who thinks it's lame has some serious growing up to do, and they are the last opinion you should care about.

thanks for reminding me to give my mother a call tomorrow. i haven't spoken with her since mothers day.

Mentioning your own mom is OK. Someone else's mom, not so much.

Why would mentioning your mom be lame? I seriously don't get it.

My mom told me I have to be home early.

My mom said we have to be quiet.

I heard my mom groaning and I almost lost my dinner.

I just accidently set my couch on fire. Halp!

My mom rocks, just say'in.

I still don't know how that is lame. But even as a kid my parents told me "stay out late--be social." "You are always quiet--don't you have more to say?" and the only groaning my mom ever did was at my bad jokes.

Unless you name is Oedipus, it's ok.

A grown man should not say these things.

What's wrong with mentioning Staceys mom? She's got it going on you know.

say, what?

YouTube - Your mom goes to college

why was that movie successful?

maybe I should ask holly....

Considering I see my mom and mom-in-law more often than my friends these days, they're part of every day conversation. Yes, that says something, but I'm in denial.

lame are the people who are embarrassed to be associated with their parents. anyone who is self conscious about parents and is not a teenager is a dipstick with low self esteem.

Oh noes. I see my mum and teh bf's mum more often than I see my friends too. :eek::twitchy:

(But then again a lot of my friends live overseas, in a different state, or upstate from me...)

I actually love my mom. I stop by her work on my commutes just to give her a kiss.


You know what they say about a boy who loves his mother? Well, there's a few things and it's usually coupled with beatings and/or wedgies in the gym locker room.

have you found that the older you get the more you think of your mum and worry more and make more of an effort?

I think it was a long time ago standup by Jerry Seinfeld. He talked about how in life it goes from your parents taking you to get ice cream to you taking them. He did a bit about trying to gather them to get across the road and stuff. It was funny - because it's true.

is it lame to mention your sister, boyfriend, dog or grandmother?
... if they're important to you, notsomuch.

i might not mention that I live in my mom's basement when I move back there, though-

Artifice:

Your dog goes to college

Your grandmother goes to college

It is just not the same.

I've never worried about mentioning my mom, we live on the same property and she uses our place as her base of operations while being a snowbird. We get her about four to six months out of the year.

As I was looking forward to her return this spring I found out she is going to spend time with my younger brother until July this year. She loves her camper. :)

She even stole my dog once, said she was getting back at me for my hell raising youth.

My mother was 5'1" and once picked up a 6'4" 300# truck driver and dropped his ass in the kitchen sink because he pissed her off.

My mother was one of the coolest people I ever knew, and I miss her and my father so much it sometimes hurts to breathe...

If that makes me lame I don't really care.

I'm in my 40s and just moved into my childhood room in my folks' basement because they need the help.

Don't give much care if that makes me lame or not.

Do you all remember the Waltons TV show, they showed just how family can live and did live for many years.

And By the way, Mom's are not lame, but the question begged to be asked. :)

Good night, John Boy.

Screaming "Mommy!" during sex can be awkward.

Especially if she answers.

MY mother gave me the best advice ever, on my 16th birthday.
She said: Your 16 years old, you can do anything you want as long as you pay for it. You're old enough to know right from wrong. So if you ever get arrested, you had better not call me.

She meant every word, I have never been arrested.

Wow, my dad said the exact same thing with the exact same result.

I just called someone other than my mom.

Why not? What is this social stigma that we seem to have about living with our parents past our youth?

Exactly. I'm married and own a house in another city where my wife lives & works. I live (most of the time) with my mother in her house. It's complicated but in a nutshell, there's no work for me where my wife lives so I can't live there. There's no work for her here so she can't live here. We're both professionals so "changing careers" is out of the question. The result is that I commute from here to there fairly often but I live here. With my mother. At the ripe old age of 51 and have done so for many years now.

Lame or not, I get to see my mom and she has someone in the house to do the things she can't. And she has someone to talk to and take care of her when she needs it. I don't need to remember to call her one day each year either.

So cool, Moms make great babysitters and sometimes they back you up. :)

I love my mom!

during sex, yes.

Who is old enough to remember Brian's Song?

Brian Piccolo: I said thank you.
Gale Sayers: I know.
B.P. Well, usually when someone says thank you you're supposed to say you're welcome or "How's Your mother?".
G.S. - How's your mother? ?
B.P.- She's doin' fine, thanks for asking.
G.S. - You're welcome.

Who is old enough to remember Brian's Song?:innocent:

OK, not only do I remember it...my 6th grade teacher was an extra in that movie. His name was Dick Gross...no lie.
