14 Other Things Moms Do When You’re Way Too Old
The latest cover of Time stirs up the debate about how old is the right age to stop breastfeeding. But moms are always doing things for us when we’re way too old for it, and sometimes it’s our own dang fault.
1. 1. Doing the bag of dirty laundry we brought home for Thanksgiving
3. 3. Knocking on the bathroom door and asking if you need “help” if you’re in there for more than 3 minutes
4. 4. Getting you a stuffed animal after you’re in middle school
9. 9. Throwing a birthday party for you with balloons and cake when you’re a BIG GIRL NOW
12. 12. Complaining that she just wants a nice NORMAL photo of you where you don’t make a silly face
14. 14. Worrying you’re not wearing a warm enough jacket in your 30s
Just kidding, moms! We love you and please don’t stop doing all that crazy stuff you do for us (especially our laundry).

Baiciyu a year agoMy relationship with my mom has never been normal. We were very poor and the constant turmoil made her quick to shout. I grew up terrified of my parents’ seemingly random wrath. I could never do anything right. ‘Home’ was not with my mom and dad and we drifted apart. When I was 20 my mom had a brain hemorrhage and 3 strokes followed by invasive brain surgery. She wasn’t the same after and the pain of it was debilitating. I got married but she was too ill to take an active roll. I lost jobs and suffered through the normal routine of daily struggles but I couldn’t turn to her for fear she would have too much to worry about. Now, 11 years later the medical bills finally took their toll and my parents were forced into bankruptcy. For the second time. They have lost their home (again) and I’ve been helping them move. Last weekend, as I was preparing to depart with the moving van, my mother insisted that I take her sweater in case it was cold at our destination in the mountains of western MD. This simple mom-like concern may seem annoying to some but to me it was as if she had offered hope along with her sweater. I treasure these moments. Never take these things for granted: you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
