Only My Mother.......Add yours!!!!!!!

[alejorge]

My mom called me the other night telling me she was going to go sledding. They got like 5in of snow and she thought it would be fun.

I told her to be careful and not kill herself. She has a cage around her lower spine and a cage around her neck. Lets just say she has a messed up back.

Well her first time down the hill she went air bound and when she landed she hit the road tail bone first. She blacked out from the pain and could barely walk after that. She had to have help walking back up to the house.

The next she was in soo much pain she went to the hospital. The x-rays came back adn showed that she fractured her spine and messed up 4 disks. Now it is looking like she might have to have another surgery on her back. She now can't sit and is in major constant pain.

Has anyone elses moms done anything that they know they shouldn't have done. Especialy when they know the risks?

Oh my gosh, I hope she is feeling a little better!
The closest my mother comes to doing something similar would be to continue smoking through bronchitis and every other illness she comes across. She swears her smoking has nothing to do with the bronchitis lingering.

My mother is the polar opposite. Wouldn't do anything without calculating the physical, emotional, and sociaital risk. What would the neighbors think?

[Babyblue]

only my mother would think its a good idea to walk with a 7 year old from her house to the town square to watch the Kiss drop on new years eve. in 20 degree temps several miles.

only my mil would thinks its perfectly ok to want to have 10 kids 8,7,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,2 over her house with no other adult supervision and the house is 100% not child safe.

Only my mother could run over her own foot with her car.

Only my mother would tell me on my wedding day how disappointed she was in who I had chosen as my husband.

Only my mother would miss the birth of my baby because she had tickets to a show and then rhapsodize to me about how great it was to be at my sister's delivery.

Oh, my, ale, that's scary. I hope she'll be okay and not pull a stunt like this again.


Would be confined to a mental institution and write a "Help Me!" sign and tack it to her window, since everyone else was crazy and she was fine.
Note, she is in remission now and the sign was funny at the time.
My mother hears voices and talks to them. When she was in a mental institution, and my sisters and I went to see her, there was a woman at a neighboring table who was talking to herself.

Mama whispered, "She talks to herself."

I said, "Mama, so do you!"

She said, "Uh, uh, I talk to somebody."


Oh my gosh, I hope she is feeling a little better!

I'm so sorry. This sounds like two of my sisters. One of the sisters is now in the hospital in critical care with pneumonia, but the doctors are afraid that more than pneumonia is going on. :(

Only my mom would say to me, after having my first child mind you,..I never wanted to have kids. Gee! THANKS, Mom!

Only my mom would have the balls to 1. Kiss my husband on the mouth after we were married. 2. Tell me how good he would look in a Highway Patrol Mans uniform and policeman sunglasses.

3. Tell me about how broke she is all the time, and then go on these extravagant trips and buy a new kitchen set, repaint her house, buy a new elliptical, get new carpet, buy a new car, buy a new couch and so on.

Only my mother would call me up, hung over, and insist that she had alcohol poisoning. I guess she thinks that wine drinking doesn't count as a means to kill brain cells.

Only my mother would feed my then 8yo hyper active child chocolate and big red right before my cousins church wedding. DD ran up to the bride and started talking her on the alter.

Only my mom goes to bingo (we just came home a couple hours ago) swears worse than I can about how fast they are calling, complains she is never going again, and look at me and say...."well you coming next week". Sigh I'll let ya know mom.
