Mothers...
...are there when it suits them.
...feel superior to everyone else.
...don't generally listen to what others have to say unless it's of interest to them.
...hate their children's poetry.
...are indifferent to their kids' good works.
...put down their kids so their kids don't bother with futile attempts at things.
...put up with kids because they "have" to.
...don't have to apologize, although every now and then, they do out of the blue.
...are always right no matter what.
...are so put upon by society that they have excuses for everything.
...give birth to evil, or, at best, children in need of therapy.
...laugh when their children hurt inside.
...are never satisfied.
...always want more than they are given.
...don't consider anything their kids do "good enough."
...are perfectionists and hold others to these high standards to ensure others fail.
...are conditional with their love.
...teach their kids independence so they can take care of themselves while Mom ignores them.
Why does anyone become a mother?
Now, if only I could understand why I'm the only one with a mother... and why people keep calling these women their mothers when they obviously aren't?
