Mum's a cunt

Posted 11-01-2009 at 10:38 PM by Sekto Springs
She goes away for a week of frivolity with her neurotic boyfriend in Virginia Beach. Leaves the house in my care. Of course this happens to be the one week I was sickly and fatigued. Couldn't be arsed to go to school the first half of the week, missed the second half as well thanks to my mom not being able to explain the overly intricate workings of her fucking atomic alarm clock.

Naturally I fell behind in school, which has only exacerbated my already impoverished performance in class so far. On top of that, I was obligated (admittedly to myself) to decorate the place for Halloween, and in the course of the week, coughing and drowsy, I managed to carve four medium sized jack-o-lanterns and stretch some of that awful, cotton, faux-cobweb crap around our balcony.

I depart with my friends for the weekend, not willing to wait around for my mom's return at whatever ungodly hour. I come back on sunday, not a word between us beforehand, and what does she do? She fucking yells at me. For what? Leaving the front door open after I arrived...

"Now my gas bill is gunna skyrocket" was her well-played attack on my innocent mistake. Not a "thank you" for looking after the house while she was away having the shriveled member of her sexagenarian boyfriend continually inserted inside of her, for attempting to care for her ill-mannered dogs who, despite having not been fed for a few days, managed to muster up enough feces to defecate on the carpet numerous times (moments before I was about to let them out no less). No, not a single fucking kind word, even though I did what I could with what little energy I had.

She continues to probe me...
"Did you walk the dogs today?"
"No"
"Of course not..."

"Why are you doing homework? It's almost 1 am!"
"I've been doing homework for a few hours, mum. Its not as if I just started"
"You stayed home all week and you still have work to do?!"
"Yes, mum. I've been sick"

Despite my attempts to explain my qualms to her, no matter how valid, she just shrugs them off as "excuses". But of course she can't just let out an agitated sigh and return to her musings, no, she has to dig into me because she's malicious and combative...

"Ugh, you can't handle living on your own. You have no sense of responsibility. I will be so glad when you move out because I can't stand you. Neh neh neh. Blah blah blah."

I always try my best to respond calmly, or not at all, to these little outbursts of hers, but I was quite fed up. See, for the last couple weeks my fuse has been significantly shortened for reasons I can only deduce have something to do with my pent-up emotional trauma. I responded with an angry, booming "Oh, fuck you. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone" and proceeded to explain to her that I'm sick and tired of getting shafted by her over such small things. She tore into me, saying how I left the place a "mess", and I admit that I am a bit of a slob and did perhaps leave a few plates and cups around and some scattered papers, but hardly a "mess" (I will be kind and chalk this up to her ridiculous standards of cleanliness). She also blamed me for her technological ineptitude and told me it was my fault that she couldn't get the computer working when she got back. This made no logical sense as it was working fine when I left, and I refuse to have something so petty included in her onslaught on me. We had the usual quick, angry back and forth, she delivering low blows in a sad attempt to "win", and me taking them on the chin and refusing to recant for the things to which she overreacts.

A lull in the argument, and she comes by like nothing happened all jolly and friendly and gives me a sugary "goodnight" and retires.

I need to get the hell away from here. I can feel my repressed rage bubbling underneath it all and I swear to god one of these nights I'm going to snap and go on a bloody rampage.

It sounds less like it's all your moms fault you didn't go to school and more like you decided to be a lazy fucker.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

no, i don't believe he is. if he was he wouldn't have put 'Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt' to suggest he has actually done exactly the same thing himself.

sounds like you can't see the wood for the trees.

Sounds like someone can't take it when the blame falls on them.

I recommend you read this .

You won't go on a bloody rampage. You'll have what you'll later think of as "an embarrassing Temper tantrum".

KASTERE your blog taught me nothing other than the Iron Giant is awesome and I already knew that, and how is this my fault?
Why is it that everyone assumes I'm lying or being mendacious to misplace the blame? I've been getting this all my life.

@ Joe; My mom did not have a horrible week. She was living it up in Virginia Beach with her boyfriend. She's been combative like this for a while now, probably menopause or something. Regardless of what it is, it is grinding me down to powder. This isn't something that happens "sometimes" either, it happens all too fucking often, sometimes unprovoked.

@ Shaman: Older than 18, younger than 25.

Maybe you should calmly initiate a conversation with her sometime.

Hey, can you do me a favor?

A great big favor?

When you're conversing, discussing, or otherwise communicating with me, don't call me "Simon".
I mean, I've tried to let it slip, tried to accept it's not tacky and irritating, but it seriously bugs the hell out of me. Nobody else does it (as often) as you. I'm not in your circle of first name OWFers. I don't care what your intentions doing it are. I just find that shit grating and smarmy. Fine, you don't see what I'm getting at in this blog. Alright, you're just trying to be nice/casual/friendly, but dude, I do not know you. I've had big stupid-ass arguments with you over stupid shit, and you use my first name like we've been bff's since we were eight, but it comes across as less "Let's just be civil" and more "look at me folks im so machurr".

Maybe I'm severely nitpicking. Maybe this comment, the one you're reading right now, is dragging itself on too much, but just fucking don't do it any more. Please.


I don't think you're lying. I think you're just interpreting what's happening in a way that gives you a positive biochemical sense of self. You're the good guy here. The underdog. The victim. But it doesn't work like that.

@Kastere I'll stop calling you Simon if you stop calling me smarmy.

@Ghost Tried, but the effect of this lasts for such a short period of time. I just need to get the hell away from her.

@Joe Stop being such a Mary Sue >:C

not trying to patronise, but i'm willing to bet that you will not be feeling the anger you felt today, or are feeling now, by tomorrow. and if you are, it's pretty petty. this scenario could have gone so many different ways.

It's a little joke Joe and I have going on. No Kasteres allowed.

This issue doesn't go away either, as it happens on a daily basis. Like I said, perhaps she's going through menopause. Her abrasiveness increases.

Yeah this is a No Kastere zone.

Stop holding back your feelings- you're talking about 'pent up rage' when it's only the result of you not expressing yourself. The only times that I find relief for this are the times I remember that I have a backbone.

Your mom sounds like most women I know.

Yeah, I wish I could express myself, but I'm always met with gritty resistance when I try and I'm left with the option of continuing on or withdrawing even further.

The easier of the options is the former, and yet it seems I always choose the latter.

Oh waaah waaah.... yeah I know I used to feel like that too.

Freedom is a wonderful thing; it tends to be appreciated most by those who have been released after being imprisoned for ages.

Yeah, but usually they end up in prison thanks to them "expressing themselves" in the first place

Maybe.

But MAYBE they ended up in prison because they were acting out of desperation; for attention; for no other seeming recourse. Trapped and backed into a corner. That's all it takes to lash.

Out of the pot and into the frying pan. Ah, choices.

Sounds a bit like how my parents can be at times. I got tons of grief recently from both my parents because my signature on one of my university forms was "too small". Not cause it couldn't be read or anything, but cause it apparently indicates a "shy and withdrawn character".
