Ugh.

[Cassidy]

i havent eaten all day
i asked my mom when were gonna eat dinner
she said "IM COOKING DINNER RIGHT NOW"
um...shes on the computer.
shes STUCK and ADDICTED to myspace.
she would rather be on the computer than FEED us.
i totally feel like im going to throw up.
SHE WONT GET OFF THE FRICKEN COMPUTER.

If you're that hungry maybe make dinner for yourself or a snack?

 

[Cassidy]

We dont have anything in the house.



oh look at that.
she finally got her lazy self up.,
well forget this thread now.

I think you should make something for yourself,such as kraft dinner or something easy.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I think you need to calm down and stop being so disrespectful to your mother.

Maybe you could offer to make dinner one night? Does your Mom always make dinner...maybe she just wants a break. Once a week my sister makes dinner for the family, and then another day my Dad and I make dinner. My mom looks foward to these days.

Thank you.
Calling your mom lazy and irresponsible is more than a little bit rude and ungrateful.

learn to cook yourself.

theres this magical invention called an oven. it cooks, even if you're not watching over it. she can cook, and not be in the same room. welcome to the 21st century.

were i your mother, i'd let you go hungry till you made yourself something, if i knew you were being that disrespectful.

I think the issue isn't just the food, but that her mom is addicted to the computer and not paying much attention to anything else. It's not unheard of. *shrugs*

But I agree that you could do more to feed yourself; pasta's not hard to make, and cereal for dinner --while unfortunate, imho-- isn't a death sentence. Looking around online for easy recipes would be a good idea; not to make complex, fancy meals, but just regular stuff. There are plenty of websites for that purpose, and it's not very hard. You don't really need a whole lot of ingredients, either. You can make good meals with just basic foods, and you've probably got stuff laying around the freezer or cabinets/pantry you can dig out and cook (or even microwave, if you like) without much trouble.

If you need any help or ideas, you can always PM me. =)

that was such a rude post!

like people have said above, if you really that hungry, go and make dinner yourself! and your mum is probably as addicted to myspace as you are to DIS..

That was kind of rude but Cassidy is only like 12. I wasn't a ball of respect when I was 12 either...

My thoughts exactly.

Then I must seriously not be "cool" or "hip" because I most certainly do NOT say rude things about/to my mom.

Sometimes little rude things spill out on accident, but Im sure that happens to everyone.


(12 is very similar to 13. So I would know this)

Besides dont say "Oh she doesnt know any better"

12 year olds are not babies or kids. They should just be taught the right thing in the first place.

IMHO

i've been 12.
i've also, however, been taught to respect my mother.

think whatever you want to think, but to come somewhere else and complain and say disrespectful things about her is not okay.

Well you must be an exception. Most 12 year olds (especially girls) go through a moody period where they are upset with their parents. I used to get mad about nothing and was rude I'm sure. No matter how much "teaching" you do, hormones take over kids that age. I don't think I said she doesn't know any better, it's just that at that age kids say things that they don't mean and they often say them out of spite because they are angry and upset for no reason all the time anyways.

I just went back and read the original post and nothing I see in that is out of the ordinary for 12 year old behavior. I am sure she respects her mom and is frustrated. I recently took a class on adolscent behavior because that is the age I want to teach and it is normal. Kids complain about their parents, it doesn't mean they don't respect them. She didn't call her mom a name, she was complaining about her being on the computer...and EVERY kid has complained about their parents at some time or another.

Reading through these posts, I see we have a debate here.

Well, to put in my two cents, I understand where she's coming from.

Sure, it's not a good thing to talk about your mother, but when you all make your venting posts about a friend or someone who just got you mad, do you think they need respect too? They do. But at the time, you're just so mad you let everything you're "feeling" at the time out. It doesn't mean you don't have respect for them, it's just like punching a pillow.

And anyways, hasn't anyone ever heard of "growing up at different times and rates"?
