EFFORTPOST Times moms acted crazy in public

Humans have taken an interesting evolutionary strategy. We are born severely underdeveloped - altricial - and require parental care for many years. Consequently, we develop close bonds with our parents who take care of us during our extended baby stage. Mothers have evolved to be prepared for this - women are more emotionally sensitive than men, which is vital for any organism that needs to be sensitive to dangers that could harm their child.

Unfortuately, as we all know, nature isn't perfect. Sometimes, parents will embarrass you and harm you. What's the cringiest thing your mom has done? Does it keep you up at night? Whatever it is, be happy your mom isn't one of these folks!

1. Don't you dare say my son has flaws

As an incel, I'll never get married. However, it is something I fantasize about, and something my parents want for me. Some parents do not like their children getting married. When mothers do this, it is often the result of growing too comfortable with the control they have over their child. Consequently, they see the spouse as a threat.

We see controlling behaviour on show in this video. A man and a woman are getting married, and the woman is exchanging vows. She mentions that she loves her husbands flaws and all, leading to the mother standing up and claiming she has no right to say that! The groan from the audience indicates that this isn't the first time she has caused trouble or objected to the marriage.

Guests try to calm the enraged mother who doesn't want anyone saying her son has flaws. The bride tries to speak, but the mother points out that she paid for the wedding dress! We all know people like that. NEVER accept anything from them. We don't see the rest of the video, but goddam I like the way the couple stays together. The son looks too traumatized to even object.

Do you think this marriage lasted? Did Tony get her out of there?

2. Mom's a thief

You've probably come across this channel several times. It's called Gas Station Encounters. It features a surveillance footage of folks stealing from gas stations. I disagree with this channel because property crimes aren't real unless it's my property. Jokes aside, my main objection is that we have a channel which seemingly has a 100% success rate when it comes to accusing customers of theft. BULLSHIT. There are obviously dozens of falsely accused people they humiliate but don't post online.

In today's video we see a woman steals two cans of Sunkissed and a bottle of vodka. She has her young daughter in tow, and she's wearing a pink power rangers outfit. The mother leaves the store with the stolen items and she is confronted outside. She is speechless and she tries to deny it but the accusor is too forceful. Seeing that the jig is up, she begs him to not do this in front of her child and he refuses! Do you think this is moral? On the one hand, he could be traumatizing the child. On the other hand, the child is learning that stealing is wrong, even when mom does it.

Have you ever seen your mom get into trouble? I'd like to hear the story.

3. The mother and the protestor

The concept of tough love is an excuse for abuse if you ask me. There is never a good reason to hurt a loved one, and people pull the tough love card when they wish to justify cruelty. Today, we see a mother who used tough love and was applauded.

During Baltimore riots in 2015 triggered by the death of Freddie Gray, Toya Graham caught her son at the riots. She went out to fetch him, smacked him in public, making her son instantly famous. According to Toya, she was trying to keep her son safe after her son lied about his whereabouts.

The story was mainly picked up by conservative news publications calling her mother of the year. I disagree because violence is wrong. Since then, her son has been pulled out of high school, and she is trying to get him out of Baltimore.

4. The barbershop

Our last video takes us to Worldstarhiphop. In this video, a mother tracks down her son and dishes out corporal punishment because he left without doing his chores. This video shocks me. I'd like to see a father walk into a shop and beat the shit out of their 14yo daughter.

I am highly against corporal punishment, and I believe it causes nothing but trauma.

To end, I'd like to make a quick request. I once saw a video of a mom SITTING on her son and belting him with his pants down. I found a thread I made years ago, but the video has since been deleted. Anyone got it. It's in a barbershop.
