My mum will tell me the same thing several times and then be surprised that i know the thing she told me. ..and then swear blind she told me another thing (normally something really important) when she hasn't. Drives me mad!

Off the grid

Mine can't cut someone a slice of cake the size they want it.

She'll put the knife where she thinks and ask if that's an ok amount. You say yes and she can't help but Lift The Knife And Move It a cm to the left or right and *then* cut.

It's a family joke that's got so ott, she's started to refuse to serve anyone cake because we all take the piss.

The first year after I met my husband and he spent time with my family at Christmas, I told him to watch out for it and she did it. We all wet ourselves laughing and it's been hilarious, tears streaming down your face funny ever since.

Bless her. I wouldn't buy us Christmas presents any more if I was her.

I once received two texts from an unknown number. The first said "hi hat"... the next said "this is my new number".

I replied "who is it?"

"Who is what" came the reply.

"Who are you?" Asks me.

"Oh sorry, I must have the wrong number" she responded.

In the end I had to ring to see who it was.... silly woman (love you really mum x)

My mum had what I call a scattergun text approach. She knows I won't have my phone on at work so she texts during breaks, knowing I'll respond when I turn my phone back on so she gets everything out in a stream of consciousness along the lines of:

'how is your day did you get the photo your brother sent you I'm going to the hairdresser next weekend you should get your roots done have you thought about what you want for Christmas [that bit appears around September every year] I found out what a cougar is and I am not one thank you madam have you lost any weight yet love you x'

Me: I've been busy, sorry.

Mom: You should call more.

Me: Anyway, what up?

Mom: I have so much to tell you and questions to ask but I really can't remember. I should start writing them down so I can remember to ask you.

Me: You said that last time.

Mom: Well if you called more often maybe I wouldn't forget things by the time I got to talk to you...

Etc, etc.

My late mother, tiniest, softest, kindest woman in the world.

I'd never heard her raise her voice or swear, not even a bugger.

Deaf in one ear, diagnosed with dementia.

Talking to my late father who mumbles and really doesn't understand mums dementia.

Their conversations were a joy to behold and frequently ended in a shouting match.

One day they're upstairs talking, I'm downstairs at the back of the house, they're immediately above me.

Voices get raised, doors get slammed, the whole house shakes as mum charges through the house on a rampage, storms past me into the garden.

Me, calm and softly spoken;

"What's up mum?"

"IT'S YOUR FATHER!!!!!!!!"

"What's he done mum?"

"HE KEEPS ON AT ME, I'VE JUST TOLD HIM, I'M NOT FUCKING PUGGLED YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!"

Mum phoned on Friday and her first comment was "I phoned for a reason, what do I have to tell you?" She was confused when I didn't know.

She also runs through the whole family's names (including dogs past and present) before settling on the correct name for her first born.

She does the food thing too. "Do you want a sandwhich?"

'No thanks mum'

"Beans on toast?"

'No thanks mum'

"I made scones"

'No thanks mum'

"Banana?"

It always ends at banana, regardless of the presence of actual bananas in the house.

My mother never bothered calling us: not her job to phone us, we were supposed to call her. We didn't often as she'd then rant on about the pain having ungrateful kids...sigh.

Reading this I'm "envious" of those who have a relationship with their mum. I suppose that's why I don't miss an opportunity to contact my kids and let them know I'm thinking about them.

In her later years my mother-in-law had dementia and she would drive my ex crazy. One of the classics: he was cooking dinner when she said she fancied KFC. Where they lived it would have taken him about 45 minutes round trip, so he called our daughter to come pick him up and take him there. My daughter picked her dad up, drove to the KFC bought him back. Helped to get her nan prepared for her meal, dished it up for her to wrinkle her nose and say, "why have you given me this? I'm a vegetarian now!"

My mum is an incredibly clever woman, but she can be really gullible. When I was about 11 I convinced her that Jurassic Park was a PG rating because of dinosaur nudity.

She's just got a smart phone and is sending me about 40 photos a day of her cat.

My mum will talk to strangers.

She was in Reading once, she doesn't live here, and she passed a young guy sitting on a bench who looked really miserable so she went back and asked if he was OK.

He said he'd just been dumped by his girlfriend so she started telling him that he would find love and that she was obviously not the right woman for him.

She then gave him a big bar of toblerone to cheer him up.

He was really grateful and gave her a massive smile.

I've told my work colleagues that if they ever fancy some chocolate, I'll let them know when she's in Reading and they can sit on a bench looking miserable

Aww bless her. She was probably just what the lad needed at that time...the love of a mum. I always find it amazing how some people appear in our lives like that. Even if it's just for a brief moment. It's as if they were guided there just for that moment by an angel xx

When i split with my sons dad, mine left me and my son almost homeless whilst she lived in the 4 bedroom family home my dad let her buy him out of for the price he paid for it in 1977 (£12,000) on the condition that myself and my sister would ALWAYS have a place to live.

I'm so glad for you guys that have loving relationships with your mum's.

Last conversation I had with her was when she told me she would have let me move in if she'd have realised I would have replaced all the windows in the house at no cost to her, but she didn't hear me clearly.

What an amazing thread!

lots of love.

Been laughing at the funny stories, though for me it's usually my dad that is scatty, & sending love to those who miss their departed & who don't/didn't have a good relationship.

I've always got my brothers/dog/rabbit (thankfully not the fish) names before mine & the list gets longer the more grandchildren appear. Usually ending in "you! You know who I mean"

When your mum goes though the whole families names before getting to yours even the dogs names before yours

When some ones on the street and she looks out the window and asks who they are

"Mum phoned on Friday and her first comment was "I phoned for a reason, what do I have to tell you?" She was confused when I didn't know.

She also runs through the whole family's names (including dogs past and present) before settling on the correct name for her first born.

She does the food thing too. "Do you want a sandwhich?"

'No thanks mum'

"Beans on toast?"

'No thanks mum'

"I made scones"

'No thanks mum'

"Banana?"

It always ends at banana, regardless of the presence of actual bananas in the house.

I get the name one all the time, I've just got used to saying my name out as she's going through the whole family

I already do this - and as well as all the kids names I throw my oldest neice's name into the mix too!

I'd give the world to talk to my mum again.

I was just thinking that too, reading the thread.

My mum used to send strange predictive texts. She once texted that she had thundering blood. I never established what she'd meant to say.

My gorgeous mother is like a jellyfish. Fascinating to watch but stings.

A favourite example:

'You look beautiful today. I'm glad I don't have your hair. It's such a curse. That dress looks good on. Don't you think you should wear something longer to cover your chunky legs?'

I do love her. Her complimentary insults are the best. My sisters and I compete to get the best.

My last conversation with my mother went something like this:

Me: hi mum, been arrested lately?

Her: nope but I will be if your father doesn't get off that chair and get exercising

Me: mum, he's I'll, let him be

Her: he's getting on my tits (!!!!)

Me: MUM,

Her: is Jason there?

Me: yes, do you want to talk to him?

Her: no, just ask him if he can get me a pink smart car

Me: why? You have a car

Her: well, when your father kicks the bucket, I want a smart car, in pink and I want daisy transfers on it

Her: and I'm going to buy an apartment

Me: Mum, don't say that in front of dad

Her: why not, deaf old coot uses his hearing aids as an ornament he can't hear a bloody thing

.......

And so it went in. My dad has COPD and I think this is my mums way of coping.

My Mam only rings to have a go at me about something or other. She disapproves of absolutely everything I do or don't do. Can't win. Although she is being nice to me atm so something is clearly wrong
