Nashville: No mother should talk to a child above the age of 21 in that manner. It shows bad and failed parenting to want to slap a 21 year old adult. You are old enough to have your own children and how would your children look at you if your mum still slaps you or threathens to slap you? What did she expect? That you will cringe in fear? The joy of parenting is to see their adult children living fruitful lives and independent of their parents not having children they can still slap at will.

Poster, dont worry, disagreements will always happen. Your mum will still pick your call. If she gets angry and says you are rude, you can apologise for peace sake but I am sure you have passed your message!

Smh.

At first I was opposing you but the part where you stress 30yrs of age convince me not to fully support you but blame her if she does that outside......


She's your mum, o da eje le e Lori ....... And even some words are easier said than done..... She might not mean the action

[quote author=sauer]People react to the things depending on what state of mind they are in. I think she was probably concerned about something completely different, and exercised anger based on this. Not necessarily based on what transpired between you two.
You need to find out what exactly she's facing. It would seem to me she wants to discuss something and probably needs attention.


I was tot in skul dat der is a rlatnshp btwn ur state of mind nd d language u use.
The psychological disposition of a person determines d language he or she uses.
So jxt bear wt her cos she wasn't in a gud mood, dat may hv caused d outburst.
Thank you.

I suppose you are a Yoruba man nau.
Your mum couldn't have slapped you literally now.
she said that to just show her authority that is still over you.
in my opinion, just talk her into not getting annoyed with you again. I can't say apologise because you haven't said much wrong too.
