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

    This does not sound like abuse, at all.What it sounds like is you got embarrassed for being reprimanded and want revenge. Take your grounding and do not act up in public again, simple solution.

    EMO but she told me I needed pampers and stuff... that don't count?

    As embarrassing and hurtful as it is, no it is not abuse. If it was constant, all the time, then it would be verbal abuse, but one instance or when you are acting out, is not abuse

    I wonder if your mother thinks her children abused her by not only embarrassing her in public but also by making her have to pay for damages.

    It appears that you DO need pampers since you acted like a 2 year old in public!

    That's not abuse at all, it's called discipline.

    I've heard other mothers saying similar things. Take this as a lesson and act more mature in public if you don't want to be embarrassed. Remember, you embarrassed her first.

    Tell us again -- why did she say those things? What had you done in public?

    If you were my child, it would be a long time before I ever took you to McDonald's (or any fast-food restaurant) again.

    WHY couldn't she just call me a jerk but saying I was a baby diapers still was foul on her part.

    Wonder girl she told us we were babies and belong back in pampers and a playpen. I got into a ketchup fight with my bro. she had to pay 45 bucks for this woman's clothes. Is she mad cause she had to pay this girl. Have you ever witnessed other oms saying what she said wondergirl.

    You were acting like a baby, not a jerk.

    I hope you apologized not only to the woman but also to your mother.

    $45?? You got away lucky. I even went back to your first post to remind myself how old you are. I was remembering age 8. I was off by a few years.

    I didn't say I'm sorry to my mom what for? She should say she's sorry for me. Do you have any idea what its like when your mom tells you in front of people. That when she goes to wallmart she needs to pick us up some diapers and pacifers? YOU can't IMAGINE THAT WONDER GIRL.

    You should also have been grounded for three months and have to eat broccoli and cauliflower when the rest of your family gets fast food.

    I have no sympathy for you.

    In addition to what WG said, you should also be responsible for paying your mother back the $45

    Wonder girl no sympathy? Do you think my mom was right in telling me those things? She treats me like I was 3 years old now. She's on my case constantly she tells me I can't be trusted to be alone that I need a babysitter. I ask her to let me sign up for drivers ed she said no. she told me that little babies don't drive. I ask her again very nicely. She told me when I'm ready for big boy underwear she will consider it. I don't know what she even means by that big boy underwear. I can't even understand her wondergirl. How am I going to do this now
