Another Reason I Don't Want to be a Mother.....

As you all know--"I do not want children." One of these days I will take the time and provide 6 billion reasons why. Those of you who are mothers..good for you, but here is just one more reason why I will never sporn a designer purse snatcher---

I never want to say something so worthless as: "You have to love him--he's your brother!" Only a mother would say something so pathetic. I see that as: Because he is my brother is even more reason why I don't have to pretend to like him. Wouldn't want to be rude to strangers.

OK, sounds harsh but damn--what is it with mothers and their sons? Mothers are the reason we have f'd-up husbands and boyfriends. My mother (who I do like) would defend my brother if he were standing there holding the bag, in the bank, with a ski mask, yelling give me your f---ing money bitches! She would say it wasn't him. I swear.

I think this mother-son thing is something we really need to explore. If you are a mother with a son and you still have a chance at making him someone we do not complain about on a daily basis---please, please, please for the sake of the little perkies of the world--quit defending him and slap him upside his head.

*For the record, I do love my brother, but from a distance. He like so many other men I know screw up, have momma coddle them and then before you know it some other stupid woman is catering to his madness. Just pisses me off.

You know I'm going to have to chime in on this one!!! As the wonderful mother of two sometimes wonderful sons, you don't know unless you have been there!!!!Bottom line is if we admit they are idiots then we are admitting we have failed as their mother. Society places soo much pressure on parents, think about it-how many times have you seen some story on the news about someone screwing up as a parent and think "That is one dumb mother fcker"!!As you know sweetheart I am the first to admit when one of my beautiful boys have screwed up, I come down on them harder than any judge or jury as I expect more from them than I do myself. Also, I am sure your mother is constantly telling your brother how together you are and how proud she is of you. You are only hearing one side!! So don't ever forget, whether you have kids or not-your decision-you will NEVER experience that level of love.

Oh whatever! You mommas tie those little boys so tight around your apron strings it takes great woman like me years just to train them to tie their own shoes! Kidding. You may be one of the exceptions to the "my son is never wrong" epidemic. They say men want to marry women like their mothers..there has got to be something to that.
