My Mom

She seems at times like a typical Mom from a comedy. She can be very loving and hysterical at the same instance. She is totally critical of my beloved. And, of course, she demands eveyr day form me the same things - get a reliable and a very well-paid job, stop your online-betting that is meant to be a hobby, etc. Some of the most hilarious things she has said: "Why are you doing that soccer-betting online? It's mafia, son. My only son is participating in the criminal activity." Well, hello, Mom, this is the 21st century, and anybody can do sport-betting online. Plus I do it professionally. I can easily earn $450 within a weekend, and, about $240 every two weekdays. She would then ask: "How much? $450 on the weekend? May I give you some of my money, so you could invest and win some money for me?" I said: "Sure thing." She invested $90 into it, and now, after a couple of weeks, I am paying her $600 by the 31st of December - that's our maintenance fee for the apartment that both of us dwell in. Hilarious, isn't it? Or: "Have you applied for jobs today?" Yes, Mom. "Any responses?" No, Mom - it's right before Christmas, I don't think they'd be booking interviews for those days. I'll have to follow up on them after Christmas. In addition, it's more of her dislikes and likes of my girlfriend: "Ivan, she's not the one for you." Why? "I don't know - she's not reliable. She has lots of kind and good qualities, but she's not the one for you." Okay, Mom, but, hey, *I* am marrying her, not you, okay? Thank you. All in all, my Mom is a lot of fun. She can get tipsy over tow glasses of wine, and, being in that state, she has kissed my girlfriend on the lips accidentally (missing her aim - she aimed for a cheek). Plus, fun trips out-of-town make her very happy. That's when she's in good mood and is ready to treat me to some ice-cream or coffee. I love her, and I hope to have some great time with her during those upcoming holidays, despite all the hardship we've been through in the last couple of months.

Mothers are one of the most precious gifts we must never go uncherished. Never stop loving your mom. Still, it would be always good to consider their advise. Sometimes we see what they don't see, but they also see what we don't see. We just have to see which is real and not. Viva to all moms!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i think moms are always special in our life. U can see all shades in them and yet they always love to care and love every one. Whatever they does might seem irritating or confusing at times but there is immense love hidden behind it. So we should love the way they are as they are pure and full of sanctity. They work throughout the day for us and we should respect such a pious institution. What say?

My mom is like that too. Always asking questions and telling me to get off the computer even though she knows that my business is online. When I was a teen, I found her irritating. But as I get old, I learned to appreciate her and miss her all the time when I moved out. So when I'm visiting her at home, I found her questions and concerns cute. She's the best mom for me and I hope that she lives a long life. She's been bugging me to move in with them again because she doesn't approve my way of life living alone and not cooking food.

Thanks for sharing. My mom is also funny at times. She has really worked hard for me. She is a working woman. She is doing her job since she was 19. I am really lucky to have a mother like her. All moms are like this. They sacrifice all their luxuries for us and in return they just want to be rrspected by us. Still we misbehave with our moms.
