Poster: I’ll repeat what #17 said: “… you don’t deserve her”

It’s very selfish to tell someone that loves you and comes to visit you that they can stay in a hotel because they have the means to. Money shouldn’t factor in this. Even in a one bedroom, for god sakes it’s 5 days! Sleep on the couch!

the mom is totally right’ yes the parents are obligated to raise kids w/o expecting anything in return but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give them anything in return because we can never repay our parents for what they have done for us anyway
the kid is a jerk for asking their mom to stay at a hotel ughhhh
it’s your mom not your friend
and letting your mom stay at your house is in no way enough to repay one iota of what her mom gave her and she still doesn’t want to
that is rotten i’m sorry
it’s not good to guilt trip kids but still….

and parents are obligated to do a good job raising you without expecting anything back at all. you don’t have babies for your own sake, and if you do that’s selfish. they chose to have a kid, they should take some personal responsibility and not try to take advantage of their children by acting like the children owe them anything. adults don’t relate like that. tragically a lot of people are psychologically messed up because their parents were immature, then their kids go and have kids and do the same thing.

My mom would have taken it to a new level and talked about how she pushed me out of her vagina and how I sucked her teat for 6 months…she wouldn’t have been happy to just say I lived in her uterus, but that is my mom…and yes, she would have told me to eff off too.

Posts 53 through 64, please read the son’s explanation at #52!!! Living in a tiny place myself and not having a pull out couch, I’d have to tell my parents to stay at a nearby hotel…then they would get a real breakfast and good coffee, too!

Selfish really.

I couldn’t imagine telling my mom to hit a hotel while she came to visit me. I would be happy to open my home to her. For Pete’s sakes she raised me. What is one week going to do for you that is worth your mother’s happiness for a few days? Suck it up and don’t be so selfish.

GO MOM!!

Effie- I am sorry you’re having such a rough time with your parents.

so parents have kids so they can extort and guilt trip them later?

weird.

families are messed up.

and take a look at the language being used in these posts.

someone said they hope the poster is cut out of the will— what, moms are only good for money once they are dead? what kind of thinking is THAT?

what would really be great is if parents could just appreciate their children for who they have grown up to be. whenever i see my family, it’s nothing but criticism masquerading as “helpfulness”
ie. you’ll find the “one”

whenever i tell some kind of story about what im up to, it’s always turned into an opportunity for them to impart some old school wisdom i never asked for- it goes from a conversation to a lecture about my life in a snap. and never mind the often racist, sexist, heterosexist overtones involved.

so when adults dont want their parents around for that long, maybe some of the BS parents pull on their kids has everything to do with it.

just sayin.

Ahh, this sounds like how my mother and I talk to each other. We make jabs at each other all the time. Why? Because apparently unlike SOME people, we are actually close enough that it doesn’t hurt either of our feelings.

Those that get pissed off about it need to lighten up. Seriously.

And Deb? Go back up and read Poster’s reply, a few comments up (#52) if you’ve not already, before you assume that it’s a mother-daughter conversation. (I don’t mean to rag on you for it, but sometimes I can’t help it.)

Wait! Why is everybody dumping on the daughter? In about 10-15 years, my daughter will make a similar offer to me, b/c she knows my husband would always rather stay in a hotel.

I thought it seemed like an attempt by the daughter to say, “You’d probably be more comfy in a hotel, but of course you can stay with me.”

The whole exchange made me laugh out loud and want to get to know this pair.

As a mum with grown sons, I can totally feel the humor and bittersweet recognition of love with rejection that moms feel coming head on with their kid’s independence. There is a kind of, Yeah, I know I am an obligation… bt can’t you pretend you want me around type of feeling… Still, this mom, and son have a good relationship… he calls her on her attempts at manipulation, she tells him to fuck off and dealwith it.. all done with love by the way.
