Tel me about your mother?

Question

This was a great question based upon the responses. Some people gave loving explanations of what their mom was like, some told about painful and unloving relationships and some people were defensive about answering about their mom. I asked the question in the Freudian way, which is tell me about you relationship with you mother and you tell me so much about you. I love my mom too and I had my travails but I see now how all the petty stuff pales in comparison to the devotion and sacrifice my mother gave me over the years. Let's celebrate moms always!!!

Answer 1

My mom just passed away may 20th, My mom was a wonderful, loving, kind person with a fantastic sense of humor, everyone liked her! She would talk to just about anyone, complete strangers, She was still young and full of life with a weak heart, she was a mother, grandmother, wife several times, best friend, daughter, aunt, cousin, she was just about everything at some point in her life. My mother was more than a mom to me, she was my absolute best friend, my confident, my copilot, my teacher ,manager, doctor, etc...I am sure you must get it, she was everything to me. My mom was one of a kind that is for sure, her unique laugh and smile, personality, I am my mothers daughter! To know her was to love her!

Answer 2

My mom is probably the best person in the world. Not to make her sound like a pagan of goodness because she does have her bad moments, but the important thing is that she's been there for me. Whenever I've felt down and out I could always go to mom and she will make things seem all better. I guess since birth you share that special bond with your mother and often in life she's the person you can turn to. I don't think some of us do enough to really say thank you to mothers even if there's a day totally devoted to her. But then again can her love be measured. I don't think so. Mothers are a special gift from god. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I still have mine with me.

Answer 3

In a way I have two moms. There is my birth mother who I really don't know and my adopted mom. I choose to include both of they both had an affect on my life. Even though my birth mother gave me up for adoption I understand that she was young and really couldn't deal with raising me. Her choice to give me up may have saved my life - even if it was for what I considered selfish reasons. I count it a blessing to be adopted.

My adopted mother (Mom) is totally cool. I didn't think so when I was growing up, but she is. Wow, look what adulthood and 3 kids will do to ya! (LOL) We have been through a lot together. She was never able to have kids so she chose me to be her child. That is so cool! She told me she knew she wanted me the moment she saw me.

Being the oldest girl of 12, she had to be Mom, nurse, teacher, etc. to her brothers and sisters. That helped her manage our household, raise me and return to college where she received her BA in Social Work. She has also been a source of strength for so many. Her faith in God and her lifestyle set a good example. This is not to say that she was perfect - she wasn't.

I remember the arguements we'd have. Sometimes they'd be over something so stupid (at least to me). Her words were so harsh and cutting. Then we'd make up as if nothing happened. As I came into adulthood she began to share some things with me. That meant more than money in the bank. I felt as though she trusted me enough to become volnerable. Now that's trust! She admitted to how she realized that some of her words wounded me and how her actions helped mold my behaviors. She even appologized to me. (See I told you she was cool.) That took guts. I learned, and am still learning so much from her.

We didn't always get along. In fact we had a rocky relationship. Some days I loved her, other days I feared her and still others I couldn't stand her. Nevertheless, she's my Mom. I learned that love really does cover a multitude of wrong. Through her I learned how to forgive and live my life. One of her favorite sayings to me is, "Just do the best you can. I can't ask for anything more than that." Thank God for my Mom!

Answer 4

I know my mom is the greatest because she's the only one I've ever had. If she wasn't a great mom then there would have been others. For 28 yrs I know what it means to have her and I know one day she will not be here for me, so I make well of the time, and still being the teacher she has always been , she's teaching me to be a great mom. All it takes is one great mom to turn out another great mom and the world would be a better place.

Answer 5

My mother is the meanest person that I know. She is quick to judge and doesn't get along with anyone. I will never be able to have the mother- daughter relationship that everyone talks about. When I found out I was pregnant , she told me to get an abortion , and two weeks ago she told me she hopes my husband dies ! I give up ! The only thing I can do is to make sure that I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter. I hope everyone Else has better relationships with their mom.

Answer 6

The greatest woman to ever walk on the planet. That's my mom! I lost my dad two years ago June, It was pretty rough, But I'm going to go out of my ******' mind when mom goes. I moved to Florida a little less than a year after my dad passed, to be closer to mom. Luckily she is a young spirited, healthy, strong, Italian lady who is doing very well, and enjoying life. She is going to London, and Paris in September. She always wanted to go. I love my mother more that I love anything else in this world, and that ain't no B.S.

Answer 7

My mom was my best friend, my sister, my parent....all that I needed. I miss her terribly, since she passed on in 2001. I would never trade my mother for anyone else's, because (and we all say this) my mom was special. She'd ride motorcycles with us, let us sleep outside on school nights, dressed like a hippie when we did so she'd "fit in" and we got a laugh out of that, etc...she trusted us completely, and if we broke that trust, she let us explain ourselves and the punishments fit the crime. She was just plain awesome...not enough space to tell about her. :-) I was totally, awesomely blessed to have her.

Answer 8

She did the best she could as a mom and she passed away many years ago. I still miss her. But I know that she is not in pain or suffering anymore. This makes me happy. And one day, I do believe we will see one another again. She was a good woman.

Answer 9

My mom died recently after suffering from COPD for a long time. I got to spend some quality time with her while taking care of her and I miss her dearly. We didn't always hit it off, especially when I was a teenager, but as she got older and depended on me more, our roles switched. She was artistic, had a stubborn streak a mile wide, made the best home made bread ever and could spoil her grandkids tremendously. She hated snakes, loved a good, cold beer and ate jalepenos with her nachos. She crocheted, made beautiful quilts and could come up with a one line joke that made you laugh for hours. Miss you, Mom!!

Answer 10

She is an Angel and her blood runs through my veins. She taught me more than my Father because he was gone to War all the time.
My Mother always trys to give and her advice has always been one to love...she has never been wrong in her advice.
She is Seminole Indian from Florida. She help collect Indian Arrow heads when the river was lowered for dock repairs. I have over 1,000 pieces of ancient Indian History and I owe it all to her.
