Good evening everybody!

We all love our mothers, and every day we are more and more like them, even if we don’t want to admit it.

My mother is known for her comments about my lack of a significant other/spouse and Facebook has been a great outlet for her to express her feelings and thoughts. The grandmothers are also just as snarky in their old age. Please take some time to see how your mother (and grandmother) is no worse than mine when it comes to our future…

Me: “Mom, there are plenty of people my age who aren’t married yet, or even dating someone. Jacob, Ryan, James…”

Mother: “Yes, but their biological clocks aren’t ticking”

touche.

 

My friends’ personal favorite is this post from Facebook on National Singles Day (oh yes, it’s a day).

She posted it while I was at work! My coworkers came up to me making comments, I had to get on real quick and then send her a nasty gram. My friends celebrate it every year.

 

At my cousin’s wedding, as we are setting up for the family photo in the church

Grandy: “I hope you get married before I die.”

Cool, cool, she’s like 85, women on my dad’s side live to be 98. We got awhile.

 

My aunt sent me this for my birthday, if this isn’t the epitome of “Bless her Heart,” idk what is.

“married or not.” Welcome to the South ladies.

 

Met two of my married friends out to eat

Mother: “Where are y’all going for dinner?”

Me: “Southern Grounds”

Mother: “You’re not going to meet anyone there, Carol-Anne.”

Me: “Where would you rather me go? Outback?”

Mother: “I think there would be better choices, so yes.”

The standard is not high.

 

And they all work together.

 

My grandmother when discussing my dating life.

Aunt: “Are you seeing anyone?”

Me: “No”

Grandmother: “Don’t just see one person, you need at least three different boyfriends. One to buy you lunch, one to buy you dinner, and one to buy your drinks.”

She’s a genius

 

Welp, we’ve reached a new low

Mother: “What are your plans on this Friday night?”

Me: “Nothing, I am doing that reset so I can’t really go out.”

Mother: “How are you going to find a boyfriend if you don’t leave the house?”

 

Advice from a fellow teacher to my mom, to tell me.

Teacher: “Tell her the first time she should get married for money, that way when they divorce, she has an income. The second time she should get married for love.

The best thing about this is that she thinks I have the ability to get married twice.

 

This is from a friend when I asked if she had any good ones.

Mother: “Maybe you should lower your standards.”

My friends have definitely told me this, but not my mom.

 

I know y’all have heard this one.

Mother: “Maybe you should try a new church.”

Oh, like 11:22 with everyone else, thanks mom.

 

On the phone, the inspiration for the blog.

Mother: “Why don’t you try one of those dating sites.”

 

After writing the blog.

Mother: “I don’t think any guy will want to date you after reading your blog.”
