These are cases of overly sensitive females trying to get their male children to think the same way they do. If males are allowed to be males, they will never think like a female--and that's okay. Many women out there need to learn to understand this, and call up their girlfriends if they need someone to talk the "feelz" with, not try to force their feminine mindsets on men.
This. Its not a new thing for this day and time. Been happening since man began I suspect.
My mother was very overprotective.
My dad died when I was 8. She had never even let me go go fishing with him. Said she was afraid I would drown. After he died she became worse in the over protective department. I rebelled big time but not in the way most kids rebel. I was tired of being poor with nothing being done about it. For a long long time, even after I was long grown, I resented her for being that way. I refused to let her hold me down.
First deer on the table was from sitting in the apple tree beside the pea patch from light of the outdoor security light we had in our yard across the road, with apples rubbed all over me for cover scent. I learned alot from Fur Fish and Game magazines. Learned the nighttime hunting stuff from my cousins and Uncle. We never wanted for meat again.
She was asleep. Scared the crap out of her when the shot went off. I was tired of eating peas and corn bread all the time. We couldnt really afford meat. I did not get a whipping for that one. My getting a whipping days were over.
She used to drag me around to every funeral of anybody she knew or had known and make me view the body in the casket.
And say “dont ,he or she, look peaceful?”
Last whipping I got was when I said “No they dont, the mortician makes them look that way on purpose”.
“You’re gonna learn control your mouth young man”
I was being honest not disrespectful.
Anyway, not bashing my mother here, she meant well, but life had to change at that point and I was the one that had to change it.
Her being over protective just pushed me harder the break the chains she was trying to hold me down with.
I think a lot of mothers are influenced by society to be over protective.The mother in the OP is mostly likely just brainwashed by the anti gun culture brewing in the pussified society we now live in. She lacks the mental acuity and strength to see things for what they are. She is like so many in this now failing nation. She lets MSM tell her what to think.
