I've had a difficult relationship with my mother. And we would often get into difficult fights when I was a child/teen on Holidays or when we were going to see family (or maybe I just noticed it more at those times because they were supposed to be happy times). One time I was in a very difficult fight with my mother. My great grand aunt (she was my grandmother's aunt) was on her way over. When she got there. She saw that I was crying and frustrated. There was just nothing I could say that would get my mother to just stop yelling at me and just hear me. And what she did was a huge turning point for me and has always stuck with me. Whenever I needed to draw on a sense of comfort I remembered her that day. She walked in and she looked at me and she looked at my mother and she didn't just take my mother's side, she watched and she listened. And it was like someone saw me and heard for the first time in my life. She didn't tell me that no matter what I must be wrong, or punish me, or tell me to just do whatever my mother said, or laugh at me, or belittle me. She stopped and she looked at me with compassion. She walked over and she sat down with me. She put her hand on my back. She said in a very understanding and compassionate voice, "You are upset, you are sad, you have a lot of feelings. I understand how you feel. I remember being your age. I remember feeling so many feelings and needing to be heard and understood." And when she did that all the troubles just stopped for that moment, and for that day. She was the oldest person in my family and she understood what it was like to be 11 years old (or however old I was). It didn't matter what the specifics were (because I knew that I couldn't talk about it, get help, or solve the problems in that one day). I just knew that she genuinely understood and that she felt that my feelings mattered. Just to matter was an important thing. For someone to really care meant something to me. To not have to pretend that everything was ok just to get the fighting to stop. It stopped because she really cared.

Referring to my sisters and I (I am the oldest):

"With you, I never had to threaten to call the cops. With (middle daughter), I had to threaten it once, and with (youngest daughter), I actually will have to".

Funny thing is that I was probably worse than they were when I was younger... But since I was the oldest she had no idea what I was doing so I got away with everything :devil:

Don't ask questions to which you don't want the answers.

This is not positive. My mom taught me that my worth is the number on the scale. That being Skinny is the only way to be pretty, and that, and I quote "If I was happy with my body, that's when I would know that I have lost the battle"

I'm a preacher's daughter. She showed me thru actions more than she ever told me. This was always taught to me thru her actions ALWAYS:

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

I only hope I can show this to others 1/2 as well as my mom does.

"Your name automatically changes when you get married!" after I corrected her call me by my husband's surname (which is NOT my surname) for the 900th time. SHE WAS TOTALLY SERIOUS. Now she says it a lot, partly self mocking, partly out of sheer lunacy.

When I asked her if I could get my tongue pierced way too young. "The only way you're getting your tongue pierced is if you get both your nips and **** pierced too"


It worked… I waited at least

My mom's all time favorite quote: "If you can't say something nice, shut-up!"
It was a misquote from Bambi, but still so true! I love my mom....

shutyourpieholeandsquat

I always wanted to wrestle around and try to annoy my mom and smack her ,so in a sing song-y voice she'd always say "somebody's gonna end up crying and it ain't gonna be meeeeee!" cause she knew I'd keep poking till I ended up going "OWWWW THAT HURT!" lol I was a *kitten*.

Also, "nothing good happens after midnight" when I would want to stay out past curfew.

My mom had a lot of terrible sayings I wouldn't care to repeat, but I like to tell my boys when they don't want to do things that are hard, or eat something new, I tell them it'll put hair on their chest.

She always has had 2 common sayings:

1. "You leave my house hungry, it's your own damn fault"
2. "Short Term Inconvenience, Long Term Convenience" - this was used a lot during Grad school!

When I was acting a fool and about to get spanked as a child:

"Girl, you betta DRY. IT. UP." (usually while snapping her fingers at me.)
