Done_With_It

or what.......

Do any of you or have any of you ever lectured your kid 'after'
you've been worried about them, even though they did nothing
wrong. :day6 lol


I'm wondering if that worry button just triggers emotions or
something, that make you think you have to talk or make things
better.......

Not a big deal, but you know when your sitting there thinking,

you should be happy and relieved right now, not stressing out
lecturing me over ? things that never happened.....

Gotta love you Moms..........

Seren

Well....I can say that I, too, have been on the receiving end of an "after the fact" worry fest from my Mom!

Ann

Of course, we're moms ya know? It's in our mom hormones.

Doesn't make it right, I'm just sayin....

Mom Size Hugs

Done_With_It

LOL, I know..... I think at one time I would have gotten all upset and defensive, but I know she's had a hard week, and then got herself all stressed out and worked up, thinking of things that 'could have' happened.......

Then the adrenaline kicks in, and the Mom.......... comes out............

At first I was like I know, then I was just like, Ok.. Ok.... Yup.....
Love You Mom....

Ann

You're such a sweetie, and know how to "humour" your mom, lol.

I don't worry so much today, when I have every reason to worry. It's a wasted emotion most times and I replace it with faith.

You and your mom are blessed to have each other...even when you drive each other crazy.

greeteachday

Yup, they give mom those special wacky hormones to do such things when we're pregnant, lol. I would love to see you and your mom together some time...i have this mental image that makes me smile

The other night when I left the gym, I saw lots of cop cars and ambulances and fire trucks on the other side of the highway...Couldn't really see what cars were involved, but I was only a few minutes away from my daughter and FSIL's place. I had to call to be sure they were okay and not part of this mess...No answer, so now I'm really kicking in that worry gene...So I drive over, go through the apartment parking lot, see the car, give a sigh of relief and drive home. Phone rings half hour later...It's daughter, noticed the missed call..I tell her the deal...She's like ..you nut...you drive out of your way to check our car and don't stop in to say hello??? What can I say...they didn't answer the phone so I figured they didn't want to be disturbed

Done_With_It

Well basically my car since I've gotten it, it gets confused......

(Squid) is what I call em.. He thinks he is out of gas when he is not.
So I know how to humor Squid too. No U-turns if your around a quarter of a tank
or less , and you have to be careful on hills, etc.

It's weird, no one believes me about the whole gas thing till they experience it
with me. I run out about once a month or two months.
I have three gas cans now, lol.
No one can figure out the problem.
Well TODAY, Miss Done drives TWO hours two drop off a JOY STICK for work.
and forgets the joy stick, so hurridly makes a UTURN, with a half tank.

Squid gets mad, and runs out of gas.

Push forward to a few hours later....... I'm on the freeway in rush hour and Squid is
like nah........ Not gonna do it. 30-40 MPH at the most.
I'm like OH HELL..
Cuz like Uhhh, OH HELLO SEMI coming up behind me going 70!!

Eventually I did freak out, and call her. One other car almost hits me and goes to the
right of the guardrail and knocks his mirror right off.
People are honking at me and flipping me off.

Like Oh yeah babe, I'm just joy riding with my hazards on and stopping here and there,
on Friday in rush hour.

My goal is to make it back to Hollywood to my guy so I don't get a HUGE toe charge, and/or killed along the way.
She's all worried.

Then I get there. She's all relieved right.... Then I call like 10 minutes later,
and she is lecturing me on roommates, and saving money, and this and that,
and I'm like my roommates? what do they have to do with me?
and she knows I'm saving for a car? she's all happy about that?
She's been all proud of me, cuz my life is pretty much perfect. LOL

Then I'm like ohhhh She just told me she was worried about me getting hit,
and road rage, and semis, and this and that.......
ahhh, it makes sense now.
Plus her dog just had a tumor burst two days ago, so she was a total wreck, still
is.
Ha ha, a mom's worrying is never done!

I called her back a while ago, I had bought her one of those automatic threading machines for her face. And she said she was going to use it and also said she was going
to watch Criminal Minds, I was like WELL DON'T DO IT AT THE SAME TIME,
You'll get confused and think someone is attacking YOU! LOL


LOL, Ann, I bet if I visited you for a week, you'd be worrying.......
Greet your just like my Mom.......

My mom can go for a week without calling sometimes, but then call and if I don't answer, she'll call again, and by hour two, she'll send the swat team!
I'm like MOM!!!! I haven't talked to you for a week! what's with the two hours???
Well, well, I dunno. You just didn't answer your phone, and uhh......

Mom give me longer than the time of a movie, or freeze an ice cube, then start to worry.

Moms are perfect just the way they are though, I don't care what anyone says........
ESPECIALLY ALL MINE!!

I know life is different on the left coast but come on now, they take a toe when your car breaks down?

outtolunch

Should you one day be so inclined and able to have a child of your own, you will eventually hear your mom's words and tone coming out of your mouth. Now that's some scary stuff.

frankly

OK Done, you have the most wonderful mom in the world, when she does that, just hug her and be thankful that she isn't as bad as I am.

Not only do my kids get the lecture about what they have done, but they get the lecture when I even hear about someone elses kids doing something. In fact, after reading this, I have to refrain from calling my daughter and giving her a lecture about not taking ANY risks while driving on the interstate. Tows can be paid. blah blah blah
You know the deal. LOL Half the time my poor kids don't even know why they are getting the lecture. I'm having to fight myself right now, not to pick up the phone.

Love ya Done, you make me smile.

B

greeteachday

Ummmmmm...I'm not getting this. A face threading machine? Like to give yourself stitches if you cut your face??? Huhhhh??!

Done_With_It

LOL, not sure if you know or not but I have ADD in a bad way.
Sometimes when I read back my OWN threads I'm like
hu? I seriously wrote that???

I learned how to type in 2nd grade, and I've been a transcriber for tons
of studios, including reality shows, so I can type faster than my mind
races. Those two things combined make me scared sometimes to
post.

and........

for the record, I just got a spa pedicure, you know where the goldfish bite
your dead skin off?
So my toes are looking polished and pink, I wouldn't give one up for all
of Hollywood! :day6

Thanks I needed that laugh!

I have heard it, and I'm like OMG, *sit on your hands miss done and don't speak*
lol

At geology field camp out in Colorado, one of the girls got lost while we were doing a mapping exercise out in a big national park (you get turned loose with a topo map, a compass, and your rock hammer and hand lens)......well, she finally made her way back to the van, called her mom (2500 miles away) later that evening and told her she "almost died!"

Ouch......never, ever tell a Mom you "almost died" when you are that far away....sure to get you the "after the fact" lecture!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rotfxko

Done_With_It

Oh gosh, Over the years I think I've taught my Mom to learn to relax..
I got lost in a mountain and Search and Rescue had to come and find us
in helicopters, dogs, news teams, and I thought she had turned into a demon. Veins were coming out of her face in places that humans don't have them, when they found us.

When I moved to LA, she had to sink or swim.... Well Go on faith basically. lol
I think the world/earth/God is good and people are better than we think.
Squid getting confused actually has gotten me in so many binds, I know your not supposed to take rides from strangers but........
Sometimes when your in the pouring rain pushing your car up a hill in the mud, lol. Your gonna take help.

My Mom actually helped this guy out a month or so ago. Young guy, who had ran out of gas, car stuck in middle of the freeway, etc. Of course everyone was honking at him, flipping him off. (like they do me, lol)
and she stopped and helped him. Long story short it all ended up to be fine.
He kept saying, Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you helped me out. No one helps a young black man. When she dropped him off, the cops pulled up, and of course went up to my Mom to see if she was okay, and the guy thanked her (and her daughter) the cop was like HU?
and lectured my Mom about helping people.
My mom just told the guy. Well you know what my daughter runs out of gas about once every few months and by the Grace of God someone always helps her out. So this is the least I can do.

Anyway, my point it, 10 years ago, MY MOM would have flipped out if I ever took help from anyone else, and she would never take the chance to help anyone like she did.


LOL, you should call your daughter just for the heck of it and tell her hi and you love her and then so okay bye gotta go.

Done_With_It

LOL, No you know how like you thread your face instead of tweezing it?
Like they do in India...


I found one at this girls nite out thing I went to, it's pink and silver and
it is like an automatic threader.

Like a threader for kids with ADD.
When you thread yourself you have to sit in front of the mirror and concentrate.


Ya know what I mean?

Done_With_It

Oh gosh, I just posted about that. I got lost in a mountain, same thing.
But they had to do a search and rescue to come and find us.
It was insane, but we lived in Montana and know people who died from hypothermia, and it was that cold out. So she was ballistic, she knew we
had about a 50/50 chance of dying more than we did.

Even worse though, we had found this little half way built house like thing, at the top of the mountain, and I had called her and (it was pouring pouring rain) this man was coming up the mountain on his bike, and I was like MOM!
I have to go I'm in my bra and underwear our clothes our drying on the heaters so we can start walking down and there is a man coming up on his bike, bye love you!

Ever hear of the Montana Mountain Men that killed those girls.
that's what she starts thinking of.


It took her like 3 years to be able to laugh at that incident. LOL......


Did you guys have to go get lost by yourself? omg
I can't imagine being a Mom and hearing those words.....
I'd just be like, well I hope your room is comfortable cuz that is where you will be for the next 60 years.

Ha Ha, Don't expect to sit there with a pretty smile like that though.

It's not like a whip and chain, but it is pulling the hair from the root,
so your not gonna be smiling like Betty Boop......

lol, and like I told Mom, I wouldn't watch something like Criminal Minds
while your doing it. Could get confusing......

Oyyyb Vey..

Seriously? This deserves an OT thread of its own.

Please tell and do not spare any details cause I cannot imagine this.
