Emotional Enigma
Empathetic Empress
I hate it when it's done just for the sake of finding things to moan about, but you don't know the personal situation (although if it's not a genuine problem it should really be vented at friends instead of at the parent). For example there's been times when I've complained about my mother to other people and made some rather disrespectful comments. Does it come across as stupid, selfish and rather petty? To those that don't know the situation, quite possibly yes. But to those that know the situation? They say she's lucky I'm not screaming abuse at her and burning her house down.
But I do hate general argumentativeness, sassiness and kids who are just trying to start a row. I work in kids and the amount of times I want to say to the parents that their little brats don't deserve new things is insane, but I'm meant to be selling them the products, not encouraging them to leave.
I've said some not nice stuff as well but my mother is mentally abusive. I didn't even wish her happy mothers day and I'm sure to anyone outside of my immediate family would think its disrespectful. The point is, I don't owe her respect just to quell the public's outrage and I don't need to respect elders no matter what just because. That type of thinking kept her abusing me and kept me from talking to anyone.
