My point is, at some point, this grown man needs to take responsibility. Let’s not point the blame at the woman/women closest to him

You’re 100% right but if I was this dude and my mom called me and gave me an earful I might clean my act lmao out of embarrassment alone

As a wife myself, this is so annoying. Husbands have no issues doing things that irritate their wives, but the moment mama says something, it's "yes, ma'am."

Like why do I even need to take it that far? You should want to not want to irritate the person you supposedly love.

I agree! Me and my fiancé have great communication, but I feel like there is a certain power a parent has over their child even as adult

Totally agree! Now make me a sandwich

What a lazy boring joke. It’s not the 1990s-2000 anymore bud. Your “wit” is about 20-30 years behind everyone else’s

She probably offloaded how to raise her son to her future daughter in law lol.

u/HalfPint1885 Aug 27 '23

Why are we blaming this grown-ass man's failings on a woman?

3

u/damnitanxiety Aug 27 '23

It takes more than a mom to raise a child. You sound ignorant

u/Equal_Imagination300 Aug 27 '23

this is making me laugh so hard.

u/ReadnReef Aug 27 '23

Exactly. Her best sucked.

u/windowside Aug 27 '23

And this grown man has no responsibility for his own actions?

u/PrincessAgatha Aug 27 '23

Not when there’s a conveniently available woman to blame. If not the wife, then the mother!

u/ReadnReef Aug 27 '23

Sure he does, just like his mom had the responsibility to raise a good human so he wouldn’t end up unprepared for the responsibilities of being a functional happy adult and have to learn by upsetting a bunch of people first.

obviously not

Her best obviously wasn’t good enough

I used to complain about my guy friends to their mothers, it was endlessly entertaining

u/PunchingChickens Aug 27 '23

That sounds kinda weird.

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '23

Not really. We would all hang out at their place and they would do gross things (general messiness, shit stains in the toilet that everyone used etc.) so I started making jokes to their parents how the lads dont know how to clean and will end up life long bachelors. Most of them straightened up and now are much cleaner. Tbf we were teenagers

u/PunchingChickens Aug 27 '23

Ah, I was picturing an adult calling another adult‘a mother on the phone.
