Otto's mother does that. It's fucking creepy. First, it's asserting her ownership over him in a way that is totally passive-dependant it's fucking creepy. Second, it's creepy. Third, it's annoying. Fourth, it's like that's all the fucking life she has, being her only son's mother, when he's a grown fucking man. Overall, it just totally creeps me out, before I even get all feminist about it. I mean, I'm the last person to tell a woman what she should or shouldn't do. I think a woman has just as much right to decide to stay home and take care of her family as she does to go make millions of dollars a year in industry. But still, be your own damn woman, whatever that might end up being. Sheesh! ugh. Otto’s mother does that. It’s fucking creepy. First, it’s asserting her ownership over him in a way that is totally passive-dependant it’s fucking creepy.

I am NOT just a wife, and I'm sure as all damn not anyone's mother. Women who define themselves by whose mother they are--or worse, whose mother they will be in the future--creep me out. It's an immediate "I don't want to know this person" flag, though so in a way it's useful. TOTALLY agree. I am NOT just a wife, and I’m sure as all damn not anyone’s mother.
