Alright, I am seriously fed up with my mom. I came home from school today to find that she found two of my 6 packs and she poured them out. Thank god she didn't find my hard shit. She found my harder shit a few months ago and poured all of that out, so I had to restock.

I am sick of this shit. She tells me she doesn't want me to drink, yet she bought me a shot glass when we visited West Chester University last week and she bought my a Mike's Hard Iced Tea mirror. So hypocritical. It is so much harder to get alcohol than it is to get things like pot and coke. I swear to god if she keeps this shit up I am going to relapse into pot or something else. I am so pissed off right now. JUST HAD TO VENT.

Edited a bit...

Patrick, I don't want to preach to you and whatever you do with your life and the decisions you make are yours alone, however, I think you should reconsider this post and reconsider your attitude towards your Mother who I'm sure loves you very much and only wants the absolute best for you and your siblings. I'm certainly not saying that you don't love your Mom, but I think that it is quite stupid to put up your Family's business (unless it is positive and when it is negative only when it is absolutely necessary to do so) on a public forum such as this one.

If you just fought with your Mom, you should go and apologize to her and tell her how much you love her and would do anything for her. You always say you want to be treated and respected like an adult, well in order to receive this treatment and respect you must act like an adult. This means taking responsibility for your actions. If you're too young to drink in the state/province where you live, don't drink! Or if you must (you're gonna do what you're gonna do right) be a little smarter about it.

As for your Mom being hypocritical. Well, have you been absolutely genuine and real at every single moment in your life? The sooner you realize that no one (or at least very few people) have been completely real and 100% authentic during every single moment in their lives the sooner you will learn how to treat your Mom and everyone else for that matter. There are all times in our life (whether short or long depends on the person) where we've acted like a phoney and we come to regret them later. Anyone who tells you different is most likely lying. Your mom knows that you will most likely start drinking when you turn 21 (or 19 if you come to Canada or 14 in Quebec, Canada ) and she has the wisdom and foresight to see that if you start drinking heavily at your age it will not be good for your future.

When your Mother passes (hopefully not until she reaches a ripe old age) you will regret every single time you ever treated her badly or were'nt as nice as you easily could have and should have been. Smarten up bro!

Do you realize that if you and your friends have alcohol in your home, and you drive and are caught (and God forbid you do anyone any harm while doing so), that your PARENTS would be arrested? Pat, how dare you be pissed off at your mother? I AM a mother, and you bet your sweet ass that if my underage children had alcohol, I'd not only pour it out, but then I'd start revoking privileges, too.

Look, I'm not saying that I never drank when I was underage (although the age then was 18, so it was easier for a 17 year old to get in a bar. I don't know how anyone selling liquor could mistake a 16 year old for a 21 year old), but as a parent I won't condone it, nor will I allow it. Does that make me a hypocrite? Probably. Do I give a rat's ass that I'm a hypocrite? None whatsoever. Maybe we're hypocrites because we realize how truly STUPID we were as kids, and so we want to use that knowledge for your good.

And your pissed because your mother bought you a mirror and a shot glass? Maybe she was trying to be, I don't know, NICE.

Get over it, and get over yourself. You sound like a six year old whose mother threw away his Pokemon cards.

"fucking mom", Pat? What do you want to become in this life? Is there anything that may atone for writing such a thing?
Do you treasure enough the fact that you have mom?

Apparently, he does not.

It is a parent's God-given role to drive her teenager 'insane'. They do it to her, she does it to them. If she doesn't, especially when throwing away his/her beer (not to mention the 'hard shit')...then she's not doing her job. But I'm sure that, deep, WAY deep down, Pay really knows that.

Pat probably doesn't realize that the shot glass was probably purchased by mother as a souvineer, something from the trip to be treasured as a keepsake...and not for the purpose of turning her son into a drunk.

But as I've said many times before...Pat is VERY young and will one day mature enough to regret and cringe at things he says/does today.

At least one can only hope....

Apple

Talk about preachy.

Vent all you want Pat. I'm sure it's a given that you love your mother.

Ignore all the other facetious replies, take a (metaphorical) chill pill, and realise in your own time that discussing your problems, or counting to ten, will sort things out.

Oh wow, maybe your mom cares about you? :rolleyes:

Or maybe you forgot that the legal drinking age IS 21.

Awwww man.

Capo did you fully read my post? We know that Patrick loves his Mother. Everyone loves their Mothers. That's not the point. Whether it's your Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, cousins, nephews, neices or whomever there is a certain level of respect that must be maintained.

Patrik, we don´t talk each other very much and rarely could do it. But, I am not anyone to you, but you shouldn´t treat your mother like that for any reason at all and much less for throwing the beer away. Of course there are cases a mother could lose respect JUST in case she may kill the child´s father or something really bad, some people may argue to me, but this hipotetical case could not be forgiven, at least I wouldn´t if my mom kills my dad for no reason at all, who could forgive that? But let´s get back to the real fact, this is not the case. Patrik, if you wanna drink, do it, I am nobody to you. But remember, alcohol is bad, not only for you, this is also bad for older than 18-people. The difference is that you have your mother, and they probably haven´t or if they have, they don´t live with them or trust in their children.
I am 25, I could have drunk a long time ago, I never tried it, not because of my parents, it is MY decision, because as you may know, our parents cannot be with us 24 hours a day.
To Sicilian Babe, Don Jasani and AppleOnYa surprise, I have a little story to tell, my father is a wine seller, he has worked selling wine for almost 30 years, but he told me not to drink. I didn´t even though I had so many chances to try alcohol, drugs and cigarettes.In Argentina and maybe in most of the countries, people start drinking at a young age, in Argentina there are many boys starting to drink at 13 or 14. Ok, that´s it.During the high school, in parties, collage, or whereever I was people always tried to convince to try alcohol because they couldn´t believe I never did it.
Let´s go to the story, I spent New year(2004-2005)in a saloon in Destin, Florida. I met a girl(more or less 25 or a few more), with her mom and her mom´s boyfriend, somehow we started to talk each other, I told them who I am, where I am from, whatever it doesn´t matter. It was 9 pm on December 31th, the girl looked at my drink(it was Coca-cola), she asked me why I didn´t ask a beer or something like that, I told her everything I wrote above, I told her I never tried alcohol, she couldn´t accept that fact and tried to make me drink a little, I refused. Can you believe me she was trying to make me(or forcing me)drink for 3 hours at least for New Year?She said "Your parents are not here and you are with a friend", the most funny was that HER MOTHER and her boyfriend were helping her to convince me, I couldn´t believe her mother could be part of this, 10 minutes before 12am she put in front of me a glass, I hid it, when she realised the glass wasn´t there anymore, she put another one, when she looked away I hid the second one, and the same with the third and the fourth, I finally I showed her I had the 4 glasses. After 12am she said "I am dissapointed", well I said "I´m sorry, nobody can persuade me" and she left, her mother gave me a goodbye-kiss, her boyfriend shook my hand and the girls just said "Goodbye" being dissapointed. That´s it.

Don N. Your drinking habits are your business and yours alone. As long as you are not a public drunk causing a disturbance and/or drinking and driving, you can drink as much or as little as you want to. Whether you drink three to five beers or more every day, or you are a complete teetotaler, that is your business provided you are not affecting the lives of others.

My personal opinion, drinking in moderation can be good for your social life and for your life and general. However, going on the occasional bender every now and then has its merits too. If you drink and you're ok with your drinking (i.e. it is under control as it should be) and others don't have a problem with it, then that is your business. But, if you're drinking is out of control and ruining the lives of loved ones and others, you have to do something about your problem. If you abstain from drink completely and choose not to drink for whatever reason, true friends will respect that and not force you either way. Actually I think smoking (a habit of which I'm not proud to say that I am guilty of) is much worse than drinking in moderation.

Pat is right.

Pat, your mom is a terrible person for showing you that she cares about you. She's a horrible person for throwing away your 6-packs. Any mother in her right mind would encourage her children to drink, do drugs, what have you.

Give me a damn break! :rolleyes:

Pat, Maybe I reacted like a mom, and not another poster here on the BB. However, I hope you realize that your mom did what all moms do - what she thought was best for her son. Perhaps that will occur to you when you cool down.

xXx_DoN_C., My parents encouraged me to drink, smoke, smoke weed, snort cocaine, inject heroin and have unprotected sex with many, many loose women, all at the tender age of 10. :p Hey, you've gotta grow up sometime right?! :rolleyes:

If I would have found your two six packs I would have drank them. How would you feel to be without your booze plus having to deal with a drunken mom?

Yadda yadda yadda.

Let him wine about his mom, that's natural in the growing-up proces between kids and parents. I would be surprised if he didn't had fights with his parents. Okay, he utters his feelings of angriness a bit extreme, but so be it.

Drinking limit is just way too high in the USA, IMO. Here in Europe, it's 18, and many kids drink their first alcohol at 15/17. But the law is the law....

Pat, what's the use of having some sixpacks at home. Drinking beer at home, what's the fun? It's only fun at party's or in a bar with friends, to get a bit loose.
And uhm, what beer was it?

I have an easy solution for the "something else" you want. I suggest sucking a car exhaust and quickly reach the carbon-monoxide heaven.

Moms, can’t live with them
Can’t say shit about them on a message board without getting chastised

My advice Patrick – learn to hide shit better

As for the chastisement I think that it is a pretty big damn jump from “my fucking mother” to “I don’t love my mother and will not weep when she is dead”. Perhaps their relationship is so strong that not every word out of their mouths about or to each other has to be gilded. Perhaps there is a level of respect where people don’t have to be all fake shiny happy with each other?


Yeah, SVSG now that he has said "fucking" and "mother" in the same sentence his only recourse is to commit suicide, I'm sure that would tell his mother how sorry he was.

So? You got off easy, be thankful.

I have an easy solution for the "something else" you want. I suggest sucking a car exhaust and quickly reach the carbon-monoxide heaven. [/b][/quote]Or...

Man, save the trouble of making the simple pleasures of intoxication into a business transaction.

Do what I do.

Learn to cook pure, black tar heroin from your very own kitchen.

Become a success.

Pump iron, eat three raw eggs for breakfast, and feed on stem cells. Not because you're paralyzed and need strength, but because you're a fucking badass who eats babies. Minority babies. Patrick is a racist, baby-eating heroin addict. Don't mess with him; he'll fuck you up with a jack-knife and a collection of Phil Collins records.

I'd rather make an ass of myself than preach like 95% of the other posters that bothered entering this thread.

Pat. Pat eats babies.

I'm failing to see how a set of Phil Collins LP's (on vinyl, maybe?) would be able to do much harm to anyone, unless, of course, they tried to listen to it. :p

(Just kidding, I'm a big Phil Collins/Genesis fan )

I'm assuming that the victim would be horribly overwhelmed with his vocal work on the Lion King soundtrack, and the amazing-goodness that surrounds the cheesy-1980s synth of Vesuvio, and die on the spot of a massive heart-attack.

Or, I suppose you could just play one of his albums backwards as you write a suicide note.

So we've concluded:

Alright, I'm much cooled down now. And ofcourse, I love my mother, but I came home after a long day of school only to get ready for work and to work out, then to find that she poured out my booze which I was planning on taking over to a friend's house tonight to just chill. Not to get drunk, it was only two six packs of Smirnoff.

The thing that gets me the most is that my dad is a borderline alcoholic and drinks beer everyday. He smokes a pack of cigarettes every day too and I know damn well he did a lot of shit when he was my age.

And most of you guys should really think about what I said: it is so much easier for anyone to get access to illegal drugs than it is to get alcohol. It took me a few weeks before I found someone to pick these up for me. Getting things from beer distributors are so much harder than getting hard liquor too.

Well Pat, as long as you aim for things a little harder, why settle for alcohol? Getting into Harvard is really hard, why don't you do that?

How hard is it to get drunk and do drugs? Anyone could do that. But not all can have the condition that you have and certainly not all take advantage of it. Aim a little higher Pat.

Don't you want to make it better than your dad did?

Here is a clue Pat your dad is an adult and you're not. :rolleyes: Plus since you live at home you obviously have to abide by the rules your parents lay out for you.


Man it's comments like what Pat said that make me feel sorry for the future.

Oh...only 2 6-packs of vodka. That's different, why didn't you say that in the first place??

:rolleyes:

Has it ever occurred to you that your mom doesn't want you to end up like your dad?

By the way, my dad was not a borderline alcoholic...he WAS an alcoholic and had been for a very long time before finally dying out last summer. He too drank beer just about every day for the past several years and although you can say he did live to age 73, this disease drastically altered his personality and quality of life, and most likely shortened his life by several years. His doctor basically made that prediction about 8 years ago. I remember the words as if he said them 5 minutes ago: "You'd better stop drinking Ron, otherwise it doesn't look good in terms of the rest of your life."

I forget how old you are, Patrick...but hope for your sake that you mother continues to pour your liquor down the drain until you are mature enough to figure out the damage it can do to you.

Of course by then, it'll be easier to get since you'll be of legal drinking age...

I have a nephew who's 11 years old now. I see posts like yours and pray to God that this adorable little boy doesn't acquire similar behavior when he's entrenched in the teen years. I can tell you one thing, though...if my sister ever catches a 6-pack of anything alcoholic in his room she'll probably personally send him down the drain right after it. Then she'll break his fingers so he'll be unable to VENT to his friends on the internet.

Glad you love your mom, though.

Apple

Why would it make you feel sorry for the future? Because his dad's a borderline alcoholic? ???

Glad you've cooled down, Pat. If anything, I'd've been pissed off had my mother done something without first telling me, or warning me of some sort. There's been a lack of communication here by both parties, I think, and it seriously helps to discuss things, even though, at this age, everybody old enough to be your parents are on completely different wavelengths to you.

You can say "fucking mom" and still love her, Don Jasani. What if you said, "I fucking love you" as a way to emphasise your point?

Anyway, I don't want to ruin an otherwise sorted thread now anyway, so, my final words to Pat: venting is, I think, good. At least you didn't go into school and start shooting kids with a gun or anything, like a few others of this civilised world do.

Bloody hell some of the replies here are like an after-school special. Only Capo is making any sense... no doubt he enjoys a night oot on tha tap... but that's beside the point.

His mother poured his beer away... you would need the patience of a saint not to lose your rag about that. All you sanctomonious lot who expressed richeous indignation at Patrick's little outburst should try to imagine how it would feel if someone tore up your Bible! I imagine you would not be best pleased!

I'm not a complete righteous religious guy, but comparing a book to an illegal substance (for his age) is laughable.
