That's what my grandpa said about his own daughter.
My mom was considered weird by others but to me she was plain mean.
On my 7th and 8th birthday she invited her friends to a restaurant. I wasn't invited. And when I asked my dad to intervene, he said he likes to see his wife happy ...
And then, there was a guy interested in me. He had asked his aunt to tell my mom he wanted to get together with me. (I was 19)
My mom had told the aunt that I was not marriage material.
I heard about this years later from the aunt ...

A lot of the stories you guys have makes it sound like you have/had abusive or mentally ill moms, not just weird. I am so sorry for what you've all been through.I really think any mom who acted like some of the moms in PP's posts need to get counseling (I actually did for anger management way back in my 20s and it has been a huge benefit to me in parenting, I never yell at my kids, thank god). These stories are heartbreaking.
Yes I think you are weird and when your kids are older they will find it humiliating.
