Crazy mother?

[ObsessiveSketch]

My girlfriend's mother is just absolutely nuts. She's the only parent of any of my friends to dislike me at all, which surprises me. Why she doesn't like me is: she doesn't like my father, is influenced by the hatred me and my girlfriend had for each other when we were TEN, and of course my well "life-fucking up mistake" (got pressured into making a hate blog about a kid who sexually harassed my best friend)and being an Atheist(didn't know Christians rule the world now) That was almost 5 years ago, and even the courts have forgotten about it. My girlfriend isn't allowed to date, but she never listens to her mother.

Now, tell me if this makes sense: A guy who is my friend likes my girlfriend. Her mom likes him. She wants her to go to the Semi-formal with either him or her ex who moved away. The "friend" went and asked her to Semi. She turned him down. Her mother grounds her. Her reasons? "Turning him down" and "getting a C in Spanish".

Is she as crazy as I think she is? Or am I just not being sensible with my dislike for her?

Christians have ruled the world for the better part of civilization, smart one.

And she's not even CLOSE to crazy. No, MY girlfriend's mother is batshit insane. Your girlfriend's mother doesn't want her dating a dude who A: encourages her to break her mother's rules, and B: did anything FOR a court TO forget.

I'll see you your reasonably protective mother, and raise you a control-freak who decides that her daughter will NOT fuck up her life like she did, and will use any means necessary to ensure she remains "safe". Even if she goes insane. ie. digging though emails, texts, using counseling to find out secrets, grounding her for a month for being 5 minutes late, turning any argument around on her, discouraging her from anything she likes to do, etc etc.

EDIT: also, if shes rambling on about Christ, DON'T MENTION NOT-BELIEVING IN CHRIST, DUMBASS. Only the true religious nuts go on and on about God like that, and you refuting their beliefs just added fuel to the fire. You better hope to high heaven that her dad likes ya.

I had an ex whose mom was big on astrology which LOL... anyway that point is I let her read my palm and horoscope and what not. Why? Because you have to appease the parentals if your going to get what you want. There family ate asparaghus at EVERY MEAL which I hate. And I ate it all and more. The point? You should've pretended you care about God. Religion is deal breaker for alot of people.

The woman is the only person in the bloody town that sees me as the bad guy. A guy a grade ahead of us threatened to brutally rape my best friend, and that scarred her for life. A few other people he'd terrorize knew I'm good with computers and pressured me into making the blog and pinned it all on me, and got off scot free for beating me till I did it.

3: Because the one time I was at their house, she was rambling to me about how Christ will save me and I said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry but I don't believe in your Christ." She said,"What do you mean?" and I replied, "I'm an Atheist."

Mate, if there is one more bit of advice I can give you. If you like a girl and don't agree with the parents. At least just nod and stay quiet until they like you enough.

It's ironic, because her father finds it funny that his daughter, who is very religious, can be so close to someone who despises religion.

 

[Lullabye]

My ex's mother hated the crap out of me, why? Cause im not catholic. Once I broke up with my ex, her mother absolutely LOVES me! We're in the same boat apparently.

She hates me for being an Atheist, I might add.

Well, we can easily remedy that.

Spoiler: Would you mind terribly if you became a Pastafarian theist?

As for the mother being a *****........well, it's really up to your gf. The mother, when it comes down to it, is really only good for providing her with food and shelter.

Yeah, mothers have a tendency to do that with their daughter's boyfriend ^_^;
Doesn't change the fact that you are labeled as 'trouble.'

I was about to say something and was then hypnotized by your avatar.

*sway*

OT: Sounds a leetle bit cuckoo

Shes's not crazy, just a *****.

Hahahahahahah you're kidding me right?

If the above is true then she has every reason to dislike you, and it has exactly nothing with you being an atheist, but rather with you not having the basic common decency to not completely shut down your girlfriend's mother while she's talking. I mean what the hell, dude - what planet do you think you're living in? Manners? Hello? ...nothing? No? Ok then.

I mean seriously, she probably just thinks you act like a right arrogant rude little snot - which you did.

One the one hand, that little episode probably made you a lot more attractive to the rebellious daughter... but on the other, anybody who I saw treating my mother like that would not be setting foot in my house again.

-> Edit to clarify, this has nothing to do with religion, but with people skills and politeness. You should know when someone has the upper hand socially and treat them with the due respect, and if you think you're above that, well, then you just deserve what you're gonna get, is all.

Oh no, I waited for her to finish talking. I know better than to cut people off. I waited for her speech to end before telling her.

What's a semi-formal to start with?

It's a dance but I didn't think they had those past middle school.

She isn't crazy. She's insane.
And, yes. There's a difference... Example.
Gary Busey is crazy... Gary Busey is AWESOME!
Fred Phelps is insane... Fred Phelps SUCKS!

One girl(a friend, nothing goinng on) had a crazy mom, who hated me because of my family's income level, I was in the lower middle class, a police officer, and Nestle cookie lady's son. Apparently keeping crime of the streets, and giving people cookies at 5:00pm during the holidays made my parents sub-human.

 

[notsosavagemessiah]

she's clearly just trying to live vicariously through her daughter. Wanting her to fulfill the dreams and desires she never got to, while at the same time, trying to instill her ridiculous values on to her.

While there are two sides to every story, and I have no doubt that the "facts" you're being told are colored at least somewhat by the person telling you them, she does sound a bit off her rocker.

This can be very true. I'm not calling your GF a liar or anything like that if that's who is telling you, not even sure if the quoted thought that, but sometimes the truth can end up a bit twisted or exaggerated.

Basically what they call the Underclassmen dance. We don't dress in suits, but we have to dress nicely: dress shirt, dress pants, dress jacket for the guys, skirt and blouse for the girls.

Basically what us Americans call Homecoming Dance.

And your GF's mom sounds like my mother...YIKES! There's two of these woman running around freely?! Someone call the National Guard!

 

[Chris^^]

hyper paranoia, don't go to her house in future

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Isn't allowed to "date", huh? Well, your answer's obvious then! She sounds quite like the little traditionalist. Traditionalist Christians believe in "courting" a girl rather than out-right dating her. The difference? No physical contact until marriage, which probably includes kissing as well. The mother is into the belief that her daughter is saving herself for the man she will be with for the rest of her life, and without any commitments in place, that might not be you. The other thing is the fact that you are (Bible term here) "unevenly yoked". That means she thinks her daughter is spiritually farther than you, her being the Christian and you being the Atheist. By tying herself to you, she believes you will be dragging her daughter down.

Of course, I have every doubt that your girlfriend is as... um... dedicated as her mother. My bet is she's just going along to please dear old mum. Everything is all about looks, so unless you start dressing clean-cut like a white collar businessman or start going to church with them on Sundays, you're screwed! She ain't gonna like you not matter what you pull. And I'm also under the impression that the guy she wanted to your girlfriend to go to the Semi with is either socially awkward, mentally challanged, physically challenged, or all of the above. I don't know why, but Christian mums are always forcing those type of guys on their daughters. I swear, every church I've ever been to has at least one of them.

 

[Caligulove]

theres protective parents, and then theres this woman.
I agree that she has too many issues with the guy her daughter dates. She has all these criteria for how he should be, when its probably just as much some insecurities about herself as it is concern for her daughter

 

[Lexodus]

She sounds like a grumpy fat chick that only got hitched after a bunch of guys got drunk and drew straws to see who had to take the menace out of society once and for all downright crazy *****, trying to live vicariously through her daughter lovely woman with wonderful sensibilities and a touch of over-protectiveness. Yeah...
