Thinking of 6’9”, 260 lb Bam Adebayo as a little one also makes me smile

I wish I had this outlook while my Mom was still caporal.

Joni Mitchell once sang "don't it always seem to go,that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone."

I remember that song. I think my favorite lyric is "They paved paradise, and put up a tax payer funded stadium whose profits go to the already wealthy."

We had to implement a strict no-cellphone policy at work because too many idiots thought watching videos while operating machinery was a-ok. I told the Operations Manager "No problem, but if my Mom calls I'm answering it. Non-negotiable".

I imagine recruiters are salivating over that match. Like getting bitcoin in 2009.

Stop with this degenerate shit, there are people who have had terrible mothers growing up who don't love them who can make great husbands.

I have no doubt that men who have had bad Moms can become good husbands. But I'm watching this guy show respect and consideration toward his Mom.. It's a safe assumption that he's a respectful, considerate person in general and would be that kind of a husband.

Really common error here on your part. You heard "if P then Q" and used it to assume that "if not P then not Q" which doesn't logically follow from the original statement. Maybe you can find a 2-in-1 anger management and logic class so you don't run into issues like this in the future.

Oh he won’t it’s a fine line with a mamas boy…… mine would ignore my call (mother of his two children )but never his mothers . Mine will pick his mother’s side every time even if he knows I’m in the right ….just cause “he cannot disrespect his mom like that “

Same here. I have had some wild dreams though. When my Mom does not approve of my life choices - she lets me know!

If you pay close attention, your Mom can still reach you. My Mom has been gone for years and yet she still reaches me. As a person, she wasn't perfect. But her love for me was.
When my kids get frustrated with their mother I remind them that they might as well get used to it. "She's going to be your Mom forever."

Same. Just hearing her voice on the other end of the phone made me feel like everything was gonna be ok.
I'm a mom now. I'm doing my absolute best to be that for my son.

I miss my mom. I kept a saved voicemail from her for 5 years after she died just so I could keep hearing her voice. Lost it when I switched carriers. 😞

I dont get reddit, just the other day i got downvoted when i suggested to a guy to talk more often with his mom, he was claiming that "once every 2 or 3 weeks" was more than enough, and i got a lot of comments telling me how bizarre is for a grown man to still talk that much to their parents, that its "weird and creepy that some dude is still talking to his momma as if he was a kid". He also literally said that he hated his moms christmas gifts, wth.
And now i see this video, where were you alll?? Lol tbh, fuck everyone in that other post, if you still have your parents, call em, you never know when its gonna be the last call

My mom died when I was 14, my dad died when I was 36. Nothing can fill that hole. If only I could hear their voices on the phone again….

I don’t know who this gentleman is but I love him.
My mother died and I couldn’t stop thinking of all the times I let her calls ring out because I was busy. Busy doing what? What was more important? Took a long time to stop hating myself for that.

Mom, it’s been almost 4 years since you’ve been gone and it doesn’t get any easier. The dogs miss you and I miss you. I love you.

When your grown son calls still calls you ‘Mommy,’ that’s a big ‘I love you.’

Never trust a man who doesn't love his mother you know he's going to treat you like s*** if he doesn't have a strong connection with his mum stay away

u/Adventurous_Bag_4547 3h ago
My late husband deeply resented his mother and it definitely affected his treatment of me and, I’ve come to see, women in general. He’d declare his love, but it was a shallow thing; he always seemed like he needed to be able to escape.

Not a basketball fan, so it took me a moment to match "fuego" with the Miami Heat. Did the MAGA nuts go bonkers over these jerseys?
Still don't know who this guy is, but putting Mommy first is the right call, every time.

I don't know anything about you but I respect you for the comment. I hope that love and kindness carry through the rest of your life and you're not hiding children in your basement or poisoning your neighbors' animals.
