Who's in the right? Me or my mother?
So, not too long ago, I decided to have a pizza for lunch. I retrieved the pizza from the freezer. I put it next to the chopping board (I like peppers on my pizza). I started to dice some green peppers when my mother walks in and turns the oven on. She then said, "Hurry up 'cus the oven's on". I chuckled and said, "Well turn the oven off then". So she then responded, "Just hurry the hell up or stop being so -blam!- lazy and turn it off yourself".
I turned to her with an expression mixed between anger and confusion. I asked her what the hell was with the attitude. She shouted at me and told me not to speak to her like that. I told her to drop the damned attitude and I wouldn't. She picked up my frozen pizza, put it back in the freezer and said, "If you want pizza you can buy your own". I carried on chopping my peppers and a few minutes later she came back with the pizza and stood next to me. I turned to her and asked what she wanted. "What? I don't get a thank you for bringing you the pizza back?" was her response. I scoffed and said, "Sorry, I didn't realise I'm supposed to be grateful when you act your age".
I put my pizza in the oven with the added peppers and sat down in the living room. Another few minutes passed and she walked in and said, "No matter what we argue about, you shouldn't talk to me like that. I'm your mother". I told her, "You may be the reason I'm here, but I'm not going to inherently respect you. I am grateful for what I have but it doesn't mean I respect you at all. You argue with me, dad and gan-gan; it isn't us. You make your own stress and anger. Lose the attitude, calm the hell down and then I'll show you the respect you want".
So Flood, whose side are you on?

The OP was acting like a sarcastic little kid and should have showed his mother some courtesy when she returned the pizza. But to say that anyone who takes the kid's side in the argument will be a bad parent...dude...don't you think you're crossing the line a bit? [Edited on 08.19.2012 11:09 AM PDT]

As said before, we only read your point of view. So, I'm going to assume that she just sort of got an attitude against you for no reason. She needs to: 1. Quit smoking 2. Seek anger management. And in the case you may have done something (more likely) so... Tell her you're sorry for whatever you did. And as said before, she might have just had a bad day or something of the sort.

Wait, why didn't you have the oven turned on to preheat it anyway?

My mums (real and step) get on my nerves too, especially with her beliefs and forcing stuff on me. I openly detest them, but I don't want to yell at them or disrespect them. Ever heard of don't bite the hand that feeds you? This is somebody who carried you around for 9 months and/or goes to work and cooks for you, cleans for you, feeds you, bathed you at one point, and still loves you even after you mess up. Again, unless they are abusing you, they deserve 100% of your respect at all times. [Edited on 08.19.2012 10:56 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Not The Joker I realize we're only getting your point of view on this, but based on that, your mother sounds like she was acting childishly. You did nothing wrong.[/quote]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xNiGhThAwKx19 Your mother's. You sound very ungrateful. Did you ever consider that trying to provide for you is the cause of the stress? Jesus show a little a compassion.[/quote] He didn't ask to be born and it is her role as a parent to provide for him that isn't a bonus. From your side OP you are correct that she was being "much" but you could have toned it down on your side also. maybe she was just having a bad day or something.

I laughed at both sides of the story, a mother like that and a child with his teenage problems. "Buuuuuut mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom I hate youuuuuu because you raise me!" [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Covenant Crates [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HistoryHighlight Not to mention I acted more maturely than most people would in such a situation. [/quote] fkn lol. You acted like a spoiled brat. Swallow your pride and apologize. [/quote] Agreed. [Edited on 08.19.2012 10:53 AM PDT]

You sound like an uppity little brat talking to your mother that way.
-
Ouch, sounds like it was that time of the month.

Anyone who thinks the mom was wrong is going to be a bad parent. OPs behavior was simply unacceptable from the beginning. A child should never talk that way to a parent. [Edited on 08.19.2012 10:50 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HistoryHighlight [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] erikinax1 Your mom's. She's right, you shouldn't speak to her like that. All she said was hurry up, I don't see how that's an attitude.[/quote] No. She had an attitude after I told her to turn the oven off. [/quote] Because it was rude and disrespectful with the way you said it. If you wanted to take your time, you should have said "I want to add a little more to the pizza can I turn off until I'm done?" Really OP. It's not like she was forcing you to do something you were uncomfortable with or was endangering your safety. She asked you to do something, and you were sarcastic about it. She did nothing wrong. Kids these days think they own their parents. If that was my mom and I was your age (assuming you're still young) I'd have gotten a smack and never talked to her like that again.

sounds like she was in the wrong

You were rude and sarcastic from the beginning. "Well turn the oven off"--seriously? She's not your friend. Next time say "Alright I'll work fast". Unless your parents are hurting you, you should respect them at all times--even when they are yelling at you or acting childish. There's no reason for you to be rude to them, especially over something as stupid as this. You should apologize. [Edited on 08.19.2012 10:44 AM PDT]
-
Sounds like you're both in the wrong to me. She may have acted childishly but your response was just as bad.
-
From experience, most women will get mad at everyone around them when they're mad at one thing, even if those people did nothing to them. She could apologize for initially being mad at you, but you should apologize for talking to your one and only mother like that.

Wish my mom gave me a fuel efficient hummer.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MickelPickel Your mother. While she did start the whole predicament, you just kept fanning the flames rather than swallow your pride and leave it alone. I understand your lack of "respect" for your mother (I've had similar issues with my own) but I think you've come to the point that you just want her to be a subordinate for your every whim. Subordination/compliance=/=respect. Respect is a two way street. The fact that your mother brought the pizza back shows that your mother is willing to walk it. Now it's your turn.[/quote] It's what she said that annoyed me. She expected an apology and gratitude for rectifying a juvenile act.
