Crazy shit my mom says

[Anonymous]

"Well, you ruined your life"

I had come all depressed and vulnerable to my Mother for a visit, in the midst of serious issues.

That's apparently all the sympathy she could drag out of herself. Later that month she piled it on.
It hurt - our relationship will never be the same.

this skit, when it came on, perfectly described my mom:

How the hell can you even have a life like that in 2012? Seems like you'd have to go to some serious lengths to construct such a world. Can only imagine how the "black girl" ended up being your roommate for just two months....

To answer your questions: the roommate Jennifer became my roommate because her roommate felt she was too quiet and didn't party enough, and I felt my roommate partied too much in my room. So all four of us agreed the two would switch. She was VERY quiet - had one friend. The AA guys I see working may be taking care of someone other than themselves, or may not be - we have no way of knowing. Regardless though, I'm not seeing black guys out and about with their kids. I see more white adults with black kids (my guess is adoption, but don't really know for sure). Of course I use manners when asking someone for help. The reality is, there are lots of parts of the country where there aren't a lot of black people. San Francisco shoves almost all the black people in the Bayview/Hunter's Point neighborhoods, and other than that you'd have to go across the Bay to Oakland to see some color. In SF most everyone is white, Asian, or South American.

Please, please start another thread and stop rambling about this stuff here.

LOL Nice try, but you still sound like a first class asshole. That explanation didn't help your case.

At breakfast one morning around the dining room table my mom, myself and one of my best friends were drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. My friend was married and I was 32, with an ivy-league graduate degree and serious career.

Mom puts down her coffee. "So are either of you girls doing crystal meth? I hear it's the new thing."

I've got to wonder how many of these moms are doing this stuff on purpose.

16:08, that's pretty funny. In HS, my friend's mom, who was a first class alcoholic, sat us down after she had had her few drinks with the nightly news, and asked us if we were doing stardust. She meant angel dust or PCP. We could barely keep ourselves from bursting out laughing.

1. Never shave your legs above the knee or you'll be sorry.
2. If you let a boy touch your breasts you'll go crazy.

This made me laugh out loud, pp! May I borrow them to use when my daughter is older?

My white MIL, whom I am quite close to because the vows are for better or worse, once told me when we were in the USVI that black folks wear dark clothes at night so one can't seem them when driving. DH called her on it and she just spluttered.

That is true. When you live in North Bay you don't really interact with many blacks. And the
Spanish are the people who change your sheets. It's a very different world there.
