In reaction to the "Should I go with my mother to see a film?" silliness, I thought I would make a thread where we could honour our mothers (although mine lacks the ability to turn a computer on, so this is a little pointless).

And yes, I know that there are cases where dads rule, too. But in my experience, both personal and second hand, mums tend to be a lot better in the parenting department.

So, mothers of NSGeneral, we salute you!:fluffle:

Who's the biggest ant? Who runs the show? One Big Mother.

I would ask why you made it multiple choice, but then i would also ask why you have so many mums rule options but then i would relise that is because you think mums rule!!

Exactly!

I have no problem with going to see a movie with my mum. We've been best mates since I was about 10 (before that I was really too young for her to be anything other than just 'Mum'). Hell, I even happily go to the movies with my mother-in-law. She's not a bad old duck either. :)

If my mother asked me to go with her to see a movie I wanted to see, I'd go. Although I have not actually been to a movie with my mother in years, I have been 'out on the town' with her quite a few times.

I voted yes because I am a mom and I rock!

oh yeah, and I like my mom, and my "adopted" moms and my mother in laws (yeah I got two, I like one of them much more than the other though)

*salutes mums*

Not in my family. My mother left my dad and me right after I was born, something I have mentioned here before. As far as I'm concerned, she's not worthy of any "honor." I no longer resent and hate her as I once did, but neither do I love or respect her.

Those of you who have mothers who love you ( or fathers, for that matter ) are fortunate in the extreme. If you don't tell your parents you love them at least once per week, shame upon your sorry head! :p

Heh, when I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about flowers. Interesting how words can play tricks on us.

My mum rules, most people I know - their mum rules.

Occasionally however you DO get the mum who fucks around on their family and when their children are in trouble would rather shag their current fling than go take care of them.

we are lucky. damn lucky. i let my mum (and my dad) know i love them at least once a day! :p

a few of my friends' parents have gone through divorces and the like over the years and i can see how hard it is on the kids - my friends. they try not to show it but its painfully obvious... i can't imagine really the full gamut of emotions and thoughts it produces, but i am damn sure i'm glad my parents are still together, they love each other (kinda...), they love me and all that stuff that i'm too tired to articulate right now :)

hooray for parents in general (including mums!) :fluffle:

Well, that's unfortunate for you, Eut. My condolences, because mums rule, and there's nothing quite like knowing she's there for you and nobody can hit her because she's a woman;) :)

What if my dad's really, really old-style German and prefers to keep that sort of stuff really, really implicit?

Consider giving him a manly smack on the shoulder with your palm and lock gazes with him briefly. He'll know. Just do try to make it context appropriate and not right out of a clear blue sky! :D

I missed all that. My children, fortunately, did not. :)

Which goes a long way toward explaining one of the main reasons my wife and I never got a divorce, although we've been separated for several years now. We decided that divorce would be too hard on our five children who, even though grown, would still hurt very deeply over it. We still attend all the family events together, and here lately ... but that's another story! ;)

Good on ya for letting your mom and dad know, on a regular basis, that you love them! KUDOS! :)

They do.
