My mom is not perfect but she’s fairly wonderful when it comes to momming. My wedding has made her a sometimes-nightmare. So,, this thread is a good reminder that after this, she will be normal again and just as awesome as ever.

My mom is a total badass. In the early 90s she filed a complaint against her employer for gender discrimination. She won and that’s why my very middle class parents have a beach house. Also, when my brother was diagnosed with dyslexia, his teacher very kindly tried to reassure my mother that a learning disability did…

My MUM.

I tore a couple of muscles in my back a few years ago, and my mom drove five hours to where I was living. She cleaned my apartment, did my laundry, and cooked a bunch of stuff and put it in the freezer. I know how lucky I am :-)

I was about 12 when I’d decided I was going to be a Paleontologist (I’m not, btw, but that’s not the point.)

My mom did not get along with one of my pop’s cousins. They kept it civil for the most part, but the cousin took it up a level by trying to tell some bullshit story about my mom at a family get together. It, of course, got back to my mom. So Mom was walking out of a drugstore one day, holding my brother’s hand (he was…

My mom has so much mom in her heart that she couldn’t give it all to the two independent, happy, well-adjusted girls she raised. So she became a surrogate mom to anyone out there who needed a little more mom in their life. The best was when my sister came out while attending a small college in the South and started…

So my mom died when I was 6 from cancer. At my kindergarten “graduation” I was getting a special citizenship award and was really excited about it. The evening of the ceremony, I remeber my mom laying on the couch obviously in a ton of pain. I, being 6, was oblivious and demanded she get ready for my graduation. She…

So my stepfather had just died, and my mother was alone in the house. Some really dodgy-looking Travellers (that we didn’t know) came to the door and said “Your husband hired us to clean your furniture, can you help us get it into our van?”

Ha that’s awesome. My mom got mom drunk and tripped off the curb once and just laughed and said, “Whoopsie!” It was the greatest role reversal of all time to my 22 year old self.

My little sister came home one day sobbing and said “my friend hung himself.” My mom patted her on the shoulder and said, “hanged.”

We were out after my birthday dinner and my mom is MOM DRUNK aka a bottle of red wine into the night. We’re walking to the car and she’s like “what does ismin parking mean? Eeeeeesmin.....iiiiismin....”

Divorce is a sin. Wives are just women.

In her case, they are ‘foundational garments’.

I thought she did it to show the painful, “medical”, unattractive, but functional foundation underneath most “hot” clothes women wear. It was unmasking the reality rather than a strip-tease. It wasn’t so much taking off her clothes, as it was showing what was underneath the clothes. And that’s funny.

I don’t think there is any “resorting to take her clothes off.” This is pretty much the opposite of trading off her body. And making a joke about the bullshit women in that industry (and in general) go through is something Tina has done MANY times. This feels completely in her wheelhouse.

I kind of don’t like this.

It is really sad that somebody did what every misogynistic does, blame woman and don’t believe her, everybody without knowing the story constructed that she is evil, and that this asshole is good. And then many women who commented this will cry tomorrow when nobody believes in their story and makes them the bad guys…

Yeeah, judging by this guy’s attitude and behavior on his public, professional page, I’m not inclined to take his word that the bride’s behavior was unreasonable. Sounds like a jackass who can’t handle customer complaints.
