Isn’t it, though?
Call me obtuse, but I’m guessing xcheopis was being facetious, as opposed to your literal interpretation.
In short, I think what xcheopis was getting at is that LOUNE deserves no sympathy from his parents, considering they’re still providing the housing (among other things) to him, which he voluntarily accepts, yet spares no thought in insulting his mom, even in regards to issues that do not concern her parenting skills.
Shhh! You’ll ruin the hilarity of watching someone exercise their “indignant huffing” muscles in the Pit.
No we don’t. We load them up with sugar, put them in the huge stroller and run people off the sidewalk (those interlocking rings, holding dangling toys? that’s how we keep track of “hits”) on our way to the bookstore, where we turn them loose to scream and destroy property while we drink coffee. It’s what we live for.
I always thought LOUNE’s posts were mostly funny and not truly vitriolic.
I think “Female Birth Giver” makes for a really stupid nickname. I’m all for parental disrespect, but it’s got to be clever and justified. If the worse of the crimes have been posted on the board, then the disrespect doesn’t seem deserved. And if the worse haven’t been posted, then they should be, so that we all can understand the inside joke behind “Female Birth Giver”. Otherwise, it just seems like a poor attempt to sound cooler and edgier than one really is. Like a teenager referring to his parents as the “rents”.
So I agree with the OP.
C’mon guys maybe they’re nicknames are really just terms of endearment, mom is The Female Birthgiver and Least Original User Name Ever must be called The Vaginal Secretion.
Maybe. Given the nature of many Dopers to be overwrought and bloodthirsty, and given the utter lack of anything remotely amusing in the comments, I’ll take them literally.
Jokes need more than just saying something unpleasant, unless you’re Jack Chick.
Given the information in the first post, you’re a hundred percent right.
It’s also worth noting that I don’t harbor any hostility towards her. She’s just a lady, doing what she can in that crazy place called home. She hasn’t done anything particularly juicy recently. Most of the disrespect comes from memories and the continuation of vice.
I think Cunt Dropping is what the cool kids are using these days.
Awww, so cute! Don’t worry, precious, those mean ol’ Dopers won’t get you.
Don’t know about the OP’s situation, so won’t comment on that, but I do take issue with the whole myth of “parent’s are just doing the best they can”. Bullshit. Some (maybe most) are, but there are many who just don’t give a shit. I was “lucky” enough to be raised by two selfish, narcissistic individuals-not complete monsters true, but not good parents. People are people and if you’re a selfish shit prior to giving birth, then chances are you don’t change.
Should the OP get on with things? Sure. Not having the details of his circumstances (no, he doesn’t need to share them), I am not sure if getting out of the house with a minimum wage job is the way to go. That said, he does sound young-time cures that (or so we hope).
You’ve never met my mother in law.
It’s what we do. Heck, we don’t even need the flimsy bits of info.

Who loves his mother. Really! It was an accident!
That was one of the things I told myself too. I didn’t want to hurt them. I had a lot of good excuses for not doing all of the things that were good for me.
I doubt that you will shatter their lives by moving out even if you have to move around from sofa to sofa for a while. But stop putting your parents first anyway. That’s thoughtful of you, but you first duty at your age is to yourself.
You are in the first stages of moving out? At the age of 30 I could still move with a day’s notice. Either you are moving or you are not moving. Don’t kid yourself.
As long as you are letting your Mother do things for you, you are going to remain dependent on her. Don’t let her lift a finger for you.
This is advice from a sixty-four year old woman who allowed her domineering narcisscistic mother to drain her of appropriate feelings for decades. She’s ninety-four and still abusing people physically and verbally. I keep my distance.
If I am projecting too much, forgive me. I inherited depression from my father and that made dealing with her narcissism very difficult.
Ah, you’re one of those types, are you? You can’t hack it in life, so you bitch about your mom at the same time as you are sponging off of her. Grow up, kid.
I KNEW IT!!!
But seriously, folks, to finish the thought, I think most parents are doing the best they can, with what they have to work with in their own natures and personalities. Rotten parents don’t have much to work with.
By the way, LOUNE, you don’t have to get specific and personal here; I’d even advise against it. The more personal and specific you get, the more these kinds of threads seem to go against you as you give people specific details to fixate on and take you to task over.
Oh man! featherlou beat me to it. But I knew it way before she did. I knew it a whole thread ago. I was just waiting for the admission to leak out.

Will fessie’s kids be posting threads about their female birth giver letting them OD on candy and go into insulin shock on November 1, lying to them about Santa, and not teaching them how to behave in bookstores? Wait 15 years and see.
Not only do some people not get perfect parents, it has come to my attention that just about NOBODY gets perfect parents.
But… then who buys all those “WORLD’S BEST DAD” and “#1 MOM” coffee mugs?
