I think my mom was abusive to me. Can I do this to her

Asked Sep 26, 2011, 02:25 PM — 39 Answers
Ok here it is. First my mom never hits me. Me and my bother got into a fight at mcdonalds we threw ketchup on each other.I'm older I'm 15 he is 13. I got some ketchup on some woman clothes and my mom had to reimburse her for the damage. My mom freak out on me told me I was a immature baby and my brother to in front of people in mcdonlads. Leaving mcdonalds she told us that she should get us some pacifiers and some pampers and a playpen. People were looking at me. Like she was right. She took away my x box I can't go out on weekends now. On the car ride home she is yelling at us telling us when she goes to wallmart she should buy us a crib and stuff.

Can I turn her into CPS for abuse saying those things to me? Isn't it slander or something saying lies about someone. Saying I need pampers and making me look bad in public.For the record he started it my brother not me. Its not fair she took away my games and I can't go out now.

They weren't lies. She is your mother and was outraged and mortified by your and your brother's childish behavior. You were an accessory and as guilty as your brother, even if he started it. You didn't have to go along with it, and could have stopped him. Why didn't you?

You would be totally out of line and a laughingstock if you report her to CPS.

CPS would ask you why she said that. You would have to tell the whole story. CPS would tell you that you have no case. In fact, CPS would advise you to pay back the $45 to your mother and apologize to her.

At the very least, you both owe your mother $45 and a long sincere apology.
At 13 and 15 you should be acting like young gentlemen, not squirting ketchup in a fast food restaraunt.
In order to be treated like a young adult you must show that you can act like one.
So she embarrased you, big deal. You can get over that.
As a parent I think she must have been mortified herself.
I certainly would have been.
Money doesn't grow on trees either, parents work hard to provide things for their children, not to have to pay out to total strangers because of silliness.
Take your punishment and come out on the other side a better person for it.

what I see is a self centered child who did not get enough punishment as a child. Glad it was not my dad, he would have taken us out by the arm dragging us and used his belt on us behind the store.

I may have made you tell everyone in the store you were sorry, I would have for sure made you go work off any and all money I paid off.

I would have taken away your computer usage, you cell phones and any other "thing" you used till you knew you were sorry.

You are not mature and while somewhat silly, yes I feel you were acting like children, throwing food, so bad it got on to another person.

I hope you mom find addition punishment till you figure out you were wrong and know you are sorry.

Your a spoiled brat. Plain and simple. You are acting like a baby.

You both should be paying your mother back for the damages and apologizing. If you do not learn the lesson now, maybe your mother should send you to boot camp. Then you will learn some respect.

Where are the diapers? Where is the baby bottle? Thinking others are right, not enough discipline growing up. Way too easy on you now she needs to toughen you guys up in order to grow up into decent human beings.

how would they laugh at me
Trust me they would laugh.
the people in front of us were old like in 60s they wouldnt even know it was on there clothes if my mom didnt say anything.
Why does their age matter? In my eyes it even makes it worse that you show this type of disrespect for those much older.
but that was her choice
Not her choice, her duty as a parent to take responsility for your actionsBUT NO OTHER MOM WOULD TELL ME THAT I SHOULD BE IN DIAPERS AND NEED A BOTTLE ONLY MINE DOES THAT.
Not true, My mom would have told me this, plus there would have been physical action taken (yes, a well placed paddle to my backside) Then she would have sold my x-box to the highest bidder for reimbursement, not merely taken it away.
Where there are actions, there are consequenses.
it was only ketchup
Quick story,
Years ago I worked in a supermarket, two young people about your age started throwing grapes at one another. Mother stopped them and had them start picking up the grapes. Another store employee went out also to pick up grapes.
Before they could finish an elderly woman came down an isle near the produce section and slipped on a grape causing her to fall and hit her head on the floor.
Is the arquement "it was only a grape"?
Certainly not, it is simply that due to someone elses immaturity, childishness and complete lack of respect for those around them that an elderly shopper suffered injury.
Now, is that fair?
You need to grow up a little and think about your actions, not act so childish and spontaneousley.
Your actions carry reaction not only for you, but for those around you.

This is a joke. It has to be. I refuse to believe that humanity is circling the drain this fast.

Stop your whinning. You were wrong, take your punishment and be quiet. If it were me, I probly would have did a little physical punishment at McDonalds. How would you have felt if the lady whos clothing you guys messed up call the police and said she was assulted by two young men. Would it have been fair for her to have you arrested for what you did? You should be apologizing to your mother and try to pay her back for the money she had to pay for your actions.

If you want to act like small children in public dont be surprised when she TREATS you like small children in public.


And im sorry to say, many may not agree. but in my opinion, it may have been beneficial if your mother HAD brought her hand to you when you were younger.

You sound like a very immature young child who needs to accept that you acted the fool in public and your mother was unhappy with it.

And yes my dear, other moms say things like this. I just told my daughter this morning that if she wanted to throw her food across the table like a baby i would be happy to feed her baby food again.
