Is my mom being communist?

Ok so my mom has always been a strict little hag ever since I was born. But a lot of times I wonder if it's even for my own good.

Last week an incedent occured where we visited my aunt and uncle who we hardly ever see. My aunt and uncle wanted to give me a big gift since I hardly get to spend time with them so they took me to the mall and said I can get $300 worth of stuff. I was so happy because I've never had a gift like this before. But then all of a sudden out of nowhere my mom tells them that they cant buy me anything because "Martin is my son and we're teaching him a good value-system right now and he can't be exposed to something like this.

I was like "wtf?". My uncle got really fed up with her and just walked away while my aunt was trying to explain to her that she just wants to express her love by giving me a gift. But my mom just kept saying no.

I dont know what kind of "value-system" my mother is trying to teach me in terms of money. She rarely even buys me clothes and when she does theyre from the thrift store. thats why I was so happy to go on a $300 shopping spree with my aunt and uncle. Is she trying to tell me that I don't deserve expensive things because I'm not worthy? To be honest, I think shes just being selfish and doesn't want to "waste" money on me.

i told my friends about this incedent and they said i should run away from home XD

what do you think OT?

She is not. Just ask her for a cut of it and see how it goes, though if you got all of it you would probably blow it on something dumb.

She is not a communist from that. She's allowed to do that too. Perhaps you can convince her if your relatives can take you out on your birthday if you paint their porch or something.

Yes she is

She is just closed minded. But yeah you really should tell her she is being communist. In a way she is, because she is being super controlling. Now that we know she is one of them communits, you know what to do. Coming from a background were I have to know the value of a dollar, she is full of bananas in her mouth. It is ok to use other peoples money if they say it is ok.... This is AMERICA. Seriously, she needs to get off her high horse because her idealogy does not make her the person she thinks she is. She also needs to learn not to be rude and to say something that does not offend others. If anything she just taught you that you should only think about yourself...? Ok that just might be good evidence of her communist thinking.

to the guy below VVV, yeah you go do that, because you just said was not coherent, lol.

to the other guy below VVV, yeah communism is that bad :o.

and to the third other guy below VVV, lol I was thinking the same thing, she better be.:evil: Because otherwise she is most definately a communist. If in the case she is hot, then yes she is teaching you good values, like saving money to get hot women because hot girls are attracted to guys with lots of money. So they can be the ones who just spend all that dough!

TC brings up a very good point. Is the use of words for which one does not understand funny, or simply sad?

I must retire for the evening to contemplate this matter.

She's a communism. Report her to the federal government asap.

Wow... now communism is becoming a vernacular insult. :?foxhound_fox

It's really sad when I see today's youth regurgitate the same 60's propaganda.

Usually when you teach a kid the value of a dollar/what you have, it's because they're spoiled.

I'm actually sympathetic to the TC here and I'm usually on the parent's side in these types of threads. While your mom absolutely has the right to do this, and it doesn't make her a communist I would still be pretty ticked off at her if I were you, your uncle, or your aunt.

In my mind a one time opportunity like that wouldn't make you a spoiled little rich kid who doesn't understand the value of a dollar, and overriding another relative's show of affection is rather cruel to that person. It seems like she wants to teach you a good life lesson, but has decided to take that lesson to an extreme that could honestly end up backfiring. As many of us here in OT say, "Life is about balance," and it would appear your mom isn't striking any sort of balance.

Um... (Xile)^^^ you realise this is not her mom's money, right? Honestly, I think your mom is jelous that they were willing to give that to you, women lie like this... Dont take her words literally, she was being really general for a reason. And to the "child is spoiled," did you know that spoiling yourself is good for your health? I mean I have for years have my dollars tight and locked up, but honestly I was unhappy because of it, I like at least buying something I dont need every week... just something simple like a 2 liter pop, or some nice alcohal.\

V lol! Call the federal government! Maybe conservatives are just communists when it comes to personal lives? 0_o o_0 you never know.

While a bit on the cruel side, I wouldn't classify her as something as terrible as a commie.

i told my friends about this incedent and they said i should run away from home XDmartinX3X

How is that a communist ideal?scorch-62

Why yes, yes she is. /sarcasm

Obviously good manners isn't one of the values your mom wants you to hold if she's being so unreasonable.

Cookies to you sir (T_P_O)^, I am half serious, half stupid, all intelligent!

To Xile, yeah 300 dollars is a lot of money all at once. I was thinking about getting a sexbox, but then I was like "all that just for something I dont need?" Maybe it has something to do with they said "get whatever with this." In a way that does sound weird to just spend money meaninglessly. I think her intention is to teach the value of critical thinking when it comes to spending money. But wow she said it in the worst way possible which is why we are here, talking about it. And I think this is teaching you a lesson about women... They can make you go ?, a lot.

Death is a preferable alternative to communism.sauronthehun

Liberty Prime has so many enlightening messages.

Seems everyone just stuck on you using the word communist and never get over that point :? Don't understand why they couldn't actually just look at what your post was saying. In a simplified form, I'm going to agree with you, in a sense. It sounds weird to me I guess, your mom denying your aunt/uncle the ability to give you a gift. I've heard a few responses in this thread, and perhaps you are spoiled or something, but your description makes me side with you.

Your mommy is not a Commie but an 'ASIAN TIGRESS", Asian tiger is a term of how most (not all) asian mother raise their kids in a very strict manner and occasionally most of their children became rich and smart (plus good in math) in their later career. In other words.... asian tiger moms just want to make sure their children is not a liability in the future.hippiesanta

She's a mom. Thread dismissed.

So how does this make the means of production publicly owned? :P

To be honest TC, you sound a bit immature.The fact that you insulted her right off the top doesn't help me think any better of your perdiciment.You aren't entiltled to those gifts, and your mom has every right to say "no" to them. Yes, it's a bit harsh, but I've seen way to many spoiled rich kids to think to badly of your mom in this situation. Teaching your kids about the value of money is a more important lesson than many seem to realize.

Also, I don't think you know what communism is. Refusing hand-outs and teaching the value of money/hard work seems pretty capitalist to me.

In this thread: People avoid the topic at hand and go after the TC's use of the word communist. Luckily he didn't say the word gay or otherwise people would be posting "how is your mom acting like a homosexual?"
