regardless of what set this off. a mother acting like that is totally out of line. its really childish and a wonderful way to set a good example. but threatening your mother is also wrong. just adding fuel to the fire. once things like this start happening its just a chain reaction that leads to more bad unless someone is willing to regain a bit of control and defuse the situation. wait till the smoke clears and try talking it over like humans.
nothing is ever gained by violence.

I completely agree. Parents claim they try to teach their children respect and decency, then they do stuff like this. Monkey see, monkey do. This may not have anything to do with the subject, but for example, I work in retail, nothing pisses me off more than parents that are shopping with their kids and come up to the cashier and treat them like garbage. They either throw a tantrum for not getting what they want, or even little things like not saying please or thank you....or saying nothing when we tell them to have a good day. Those are the parents that claim to try the hardest.

Sorry, things like that really upset me because my mom is one of those people. She never asks you to clean up your mess, she tells you, without saying please or thank you. I have talked to her about it so many times, without success.

I'm not saying it's ok to say that he wants to hurt his mother, but I do remember being young, and it is just something that young people do when they are angry. Anyone seen Eddie Murphy's Delerious? "I w-w-ish m-m-my mom would get hit by a truck".....it's so true!

I'm sorry, i was raised in a very abusive home. I'm talking broken bones, beatings. and never once in my life did i ever wish harm to my mother. nip those feelings in the bud. they are the first step to the dark side.
i was there for my parents till the end. and i stood there the day they died and said i love you. hate is baggage no one needs.
just one example. i watched my father hold my sister down on the floor and rub her lips with Ajax and a rag till they bled. because she left a spot on the counter dirty after she done dishes. she was 10 at the time. i was 7. i think you have to forgive or you never get past it.
just keep in mind, if you treat them the way they treat you then your no better.

Sounds to me like we're done here. There is no need to encourage anyone to react to a situation with physical violence. If you would like to discuss parenting and/or discpline issues, feel free to start a thread in TWH.

Barko, I'm glad the spiders are OK and hopefully all will remain well with them. :)
