Nope. Had to make my own drinks, then get on the bus.

Mine never got arrested.

Oh yeah, I hate when that happens.

Mine never drank alcohol. And it was usually something less breakable but more damaging...like a can of dog food.

Rip out her uterus and give the boys to someone that actually would care about them.

This kid was lucky. I used to have to hurl the glass at my own head after getting home from ten hours of work at the mill, two hours after I left for school.

Mine would wakeup, yell at me for missing the bus and then drive me to school grumbling the entire way about me missing the bus.
/Though my mother worked the night shift instead of being an alcoholic.
//And my bus picked me up in front of my door so there wasn't any excuse for missing it.

Mom was a saint.

Dad, on the other hand, could lash out violently any time you woke him (largely due to what I now know was alcohol and crystal meth working in tandem.) However, if you only partially woke him using a gentle, semi-monotone voice he'd agree to anything to asked.

OMG you got a car ride to the mines! You must have been one of the supervisors. I on the other hand had to walk barefoot 20 miles of broken glass, rusty nails and lava. Also we only had a drop of water to share with the others. And if we're good we get two drops of water.

"Police said the boy who was hurt finally changed his story, and that the mother also eventually confessed. She said she took her son to the hospital after first attending court that morning."

Any plea in mitigation?

Yes your honour. Can we get this done quickly - I've left my son bleeding in the car from a glass I threw at him this morning.....

Mom?

Not really, but she clocked me with a stoneware coffee mug once.

I was being a dick though. And I was a teenager (the two seem related somehow). And she felt really bad. And she didn't ask me to lie.

So no.

Kids these days have it so easy. My mother used to wake me and my brother up to go to school. Then she'd cook us french toast or waffles or some shiat, with bacon or sausage, big glass of farking orange juice, then have the audacity to wish us a good day and tell us she loves us! You can't imagine the emotional scarring that has left, it's taken me 30 years to get over all that.

CSB - In grade school, don't remember which grade, my mom ran over my foot, pulling away from the loading zone, after I got out of the car. This was in a huge V8 boat-car which was typical at the time. Through the shoe, it ripped all the skin off the top of my foot. But nothing was broken (isn't it nice being a kid?).

My mom, not realizing what had happened, continued driving away to work. I just went through the school day with a bloody foot seeping through my shoe.

My mom rocked the silent treatment like a champ. That hurt more than any physical beating.

My dad, when he was alive though went old school with the leather belt on the hands or a wiffle ball bat on the ass.

All that said, is anyone else confused that the police went to the home because the kids missed school? Is that common nowadays or is there more to the story?

I spit on your life of luxury. Your parents must have been high-ranking party officials. Try 30 miles, through broken glass, rusty nails, lava and SNOW. Uphill. Both ways.

If you made it to second grade you were set, because usually by that point the wolves had starved to death.

The obvious answer would have been "yes". However, the better answer would have been... "Is she in pain?"... and then base your answer on that.

/had a similar shiatty mother situation, mine was also never arrested.
//not envious of your position here actually, I'd not an ass in real life, just play one of the internet, not sure how I would proceed and would rather she just die and I read about it in the paper one day.

This is true. Whatever has happened to you has probably also happened to several other Farkers who are probably lurking right now. Yes, even that.

If it feels better to unburden yourself to a bunch of random screen names on the internet go for it. Fark is a large place, I'd guess that no one here knows you in real life.

My mom was catatonic on Serax and Reds throughout the period 1965 - 1990. My little brother took to joining different religious summer camps sos he could eat. Not much frontal lobe activity with that woman:

She probably knew all the cops by name. And the teachers at the school could easilt twll that sokething was wrong after about a second with the brother. Can't be the first time they've called the cops on her.

Huh what? Speak up sunny boy. I can't hear you. Oh mine craft, yes there is a craft in mining acid. But you have to be quick about it or you'll get splashed with acid. See this here scar? I wasn't fast enough. That darn acid ate through my skin and exposed my gizzards. I had to hold my innards and mine at the same time. It happened on the bad day. The owner saw what happened and had one of his goons to whip me. I wasn't fast enough to make quota.

I went home and my dad and mom also beat me til almost dead. Because I was short on beer money. It took about 2 weeks for that to heal. Such good times.

I grew up on a farm where I was pissed because of 2 hour chores at 5 in the morning and 5 at night.
My Mom cooked 3 solid squares a day, cleaned, did our laundry... you name it... I thought they were all like that. Boy was I wrong; and boy do I owe my Mom a debt of gratitude. Thanks Mom.
