To the men of OT: What is your relationship with your mother?

Does she depress you when you feel like you need to be the oppressor? Do you feel like she holds you back? Simply, how does your mother make you feel?

Furthermore, how does she make you feel when you are in times of distress? Does she stop you from doing what you want to do; I just think of the saying "A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do".

For example: does she stop you from drinking that one beer when you know you are OK and just want to relax? [this is sort of rhetorical, but let me ask you]

She's pretty cool.

My mother when I was a kid was basically just my parent but now she is basically my friend and we do stuff together sometimes.

My mother means the world to me, don't know what I'd do without her michael_1234576

I'm on great terms with both of my parents.chessmaster1989

Why is it you never answer your own OP when you make a thread?:o

All these answers are typical answers you'd hear from 99% of men and they hardly adress the original question(s). "durp durp.. I love my mommy.. durp."

Personally, I used to be somewhat distant from my mom because she was so restrictive, which is understandable because my brother had been troublesome. She's become less restrictive over time after seeing that I can hold my own.

I agree that I've had to say "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." If I always did as she said, I wouldn't have a license or a car, among other things. I wouldn't have made choices that actually paid off later on. Allot of her advice has been fine... for motherly advice. I think my lack of a father figure meant that I had to pull away from her perspective a bit to balance things out, distancing myself as a result.

Aside from that, I agree with the herd.

I love my Mother, but that could be to the mix relationship i have with my dad

Nonexistent. I have not even talked to her in at least 15 years.

Me too, man.

But like, I question her conflicts. Know what I mean? There are some things she will never tell me.

Wow I'm really surprised to see so many people that have good relationships with their mothers...kinda nice to see. Can't say I hold any kind thoughts towards my mother after all she abused the crap out of me growing up. My relationship with my mother is effing terrible to say the least.achilles614

Sorry to hear that. I have probably, the best relationship you can have with a mother. But, she still hides her conlictions with me, her one and only son.

She has so much angst and I want to know where that comes from. She grew up in a very hostile and manly envornment I don't know where all her 'spunk' comes from.

She let me do whatever I really wanted to, so, that is good. But I still wonder why. The fundamental reason why she let do anything I wanted to was because she wanted me to experience life in its full extent. But the reason to 'why' she let me do things is in question. I mean, what is her reason for basically letting me do whatever I wanted to? Not sure if that makes any sense, but, everyone comes from a screwed up background. Thats all I will say.

We get along just fine, but she's a pain in the ass sometimes, very stubborn woman. Same with my dad.

My mom is pretty cool, she's pretty laid back on most things and she's very caring I'm on good terms with herDarthkaiser

Me too, but she will never tell me her true conflictions. What about yours?

She gets on my nerves from time to time sure.

But overall I would say I have a great relationship with her.

I loved my Mom dearly till she passed away.:cry:

No problems here.

I haven't talked to her since i was a teenager....

My mother usually doesn't hold me back; in fact, she usually pushes me to do what I think is right. Her only response to the things I do that she dislikes is concern. In addition, because of her very protective personality, her presence makes me feel safe and at peace, regardless of the situation. In fact, just talking to her for a long time is enough to bring me into a good mood. Most notably, she's the person I currently trust the most. Overall, I get along with her extremely well.

I haven't spoken a word to my mother in over two years.

I have not properly talked to her in over 6 months.

I love my mother and I enjoy watching zombie movies with her.

We're pretty close.

Shes pretty great but sometimes i resent her.

Great. I'm 21 and we still do allot together.

It helps that my mother my sole parent and is willing too dive into a paintball game or two.

I love my mum.

Sometimes she stresses me out. But, she wants what's best for me I guess. We're good.

I'm on great terms with both of my parents.chessmaster1989
