Any mom with an adult son still living in the basement and cussing her out whenever he is crossed thinks the same thing
People like this are truely mentally ill I can’t fathom having an attitude toward ones offspring like this.
Speak personally, my wife and I tried having kids for 14 years and had given up. When she was 45 out of the clear blue she got pregnant with twins. One of the happiest days of this mans life. All I prayed for was that theu were healthy. Thank God they were perfect.
Not saying they are not trying at times but NEVER have I had the remotest notion of being better off without them. I sacrifice (as does my wife) many of our personal comforts to see they have everything, and enjoy every minute of it.
They are now 15 and a joy. Saw the boys win their respective events in a track meet yesterday and both get second in the Sectional wrestling championships last month truely are things that make life worthwhile.
This women must be one pathetically unhappy recluse.
I imagine it is easier today to voluntarily remove yourself from the gene pool than it was in the past. Even if this sort of self centered outlook is completely cultural (as I suspect it is), groups and individuals who don’t pass their genes and culture to future generations will be dropped from human society.
At some point a more stable but expansive combination of genes and culture will overwhelm self destructive groups.
Allahu Akbar !!!
Any Mom with an adult son living in the basement and cussing her out did not properly raise her child. They don’t just get like that, yldstrk. A parent job is to raise their children to be self sufficient. Why do you think parenting is not a walk in the park? You have to prepare them for ADULTHOOD. This means you have them educated or trained in some sort of job/career, raise them to fear and love God, give them a moral compass, teach them about finance, interpersonal relationships, manners, etiquette... and all of this while showing them love. The mother whose son lives in her basement is getting something out of the deal or she wouldn’t allow it. She can now play victim: “poor Mrs. Smith... Johnny is such a mean man and won’t help her”. She has raised a slug so she doesn’t have to be alone. The concept of raising children is easy (as stated by my paternal Grandmother): “You raise a child that doesn’t NEED you. They want you and love you but they don’t NEED you”.
She must be a real piece of work. I’m stunned by the amount of self-absorption these days.
Very good point. I was trapped by a woman and she gave me twins. At first I was very angry,but now as the years pass I’ve come to realize the kids are a blessing. Not the easiest thing to do mind you, but the right thing. I’ll never abandon them. And that means staying with a woman I don’t love.
I’ve read this before. Sounds like a play, “The Doll’s House.”
and your kids are how old pray tell
don’t you know how women get pregnant? Do you realize you confessed to using your wife for sex in your pathetic little comment? What kind of a jerk are you? You don’t “love” her, are you daft? Do you think you are such a frickin prize?
Your post speaks the same for me. Thank god I also knew I wasn't cut out to be a parent before it happened.
Well come on give her a break, parents aren’t suppose to raise their kids, the community is.
Is there a father anywhere in this story? “
Surprisingly, yes. And it sounds as though he did much of the caregiving.
Any mom with an adult son living in the basement and cussing her out needs to throw him the hell out. I'm not willing to pass judgment on a parent simply on an adult child's outcome. Kids have their own free wills and will make some stupid choices. At some point, all you can do is pray they come to reflect how they were raised. We've been fortunate - our kids have all grown into responsible Christian adults, but oy! there were some years...
Not only does she regret having her children, she feels the need to say so publicly. I hope the kids remember this when it’s time to pick her nursing home.
Her children are in their 30’s now, and she is the grandmother to her son’s 2 children.
I’m not sure whether it’s irony or poetic justice or karma or what, but her daughter, who also decided that she never wanted children, was diagnosed with MS and is dependent upon & now lives with her mother.
momtothree has said it,and is correct!
Good parents raise good children.
There are a shocking number of parents who feel(felt) threatened by their children’s desires not to be an exact carbon copy as to work and life interests and who berated and otherwise screwed up the children’s lives,to the detriment of all.
Remember the sitcoms of the batchelor with a mother who always fouled up his attempts to date or find a better job?
Seventeen down to 7. And before you ask, the 17 year old is respectful and independent... ready to head off to college without Mom or Dad. Pray tell... do you have any?
“... needs to throw him the hell out”.
Absolutely yes. Give him a time limit to find a job (and not a real long one at that) and shove the birdie out of the nest. It is amazing how little birds will fly when forced to do so. It isn’t cruel... this would be an act of love IMHO.
yep 3, and I did all I could to make sure they had church, scouts, skiing, swimming, beach, read to them each night, cars, stay at home mom, dinner every night at 6, birthdays, Christmas, Easter, own rooms, books, school supplies, desks, scuba diving, summer camp, piano lessons, college funds but one is very rebellious. So I guess I have been a huge flippin failure. However, I believe they all are Christians and all are conservatives and all know about gun safety. So, hope your experience is better than mine.
