    Mom ruins Memorial Day BBQ with proud speech about how her child has disliked her since birth, stunning the guests at friendly gathering with eye-opening display: ‘Reality was checked, now my friends know the truth’

    It's Memorial Day, a time for reflection, grilled meats, and, apparently, maternal rant served hot and fresh at the dinner table. The coals are still warm when Mom claims her throne at the kitchen table, donning her social mask and demanding everyone participate in her favorite family tradition: emotional whiplash. The opening act? A casual announcement that her child has disliked her since birth—an impressive accomplishment, considering most babies are too busy developing basic human abilities to plot acts of personal vendetta.

    The audience—three friends and one shell-shocked host—sits in stunned silence, forkfuls of brisket frozen midair, processing the revelation that not only were infant cries an act of spiritual warfare, but that Mom's long-standing narrative is now shared aloud with your friends.

    One friend, brave enough to break the spell, asks the real question: Does she sound proud? The answer is, of course, pride oozes from every word, as she spins her behavior into an annual campfire ghost story.

      Yesterday was national bbq... | mean Memorial Day! So of course after work was finished, and our "weekend" was to start, my partner and I decided to invite a few friends over for a bbq with a bonfire smoke sess.

    • But here’s the twist: far from being disbelieved or dismissed, the daughter now has witnesses. Reality is double-checked, gaslights are snuffed, and that invisible weight gets a little lighter. Sometimes the best thing about family dinner is knowing who’s finally had a taste of the main course: unfiltered truth.

      Foods all done and we sit down to eat. My mom has claimed the kitchen table for herself, but she masks up when company is over and basically demanded we eat with her at the table.

      She starts going on about something my brain told me not to pay attention to, but then all of a sudden I hear "Of course, but I only did when (me) hated me".

      I'm looking at everyone's face, and they have expressions I'm used to seeing when out in public with my mom... like the look her cardiologist gives me. It's that look of realization, combined with sympathy.

      Me: "I'm not trying to be, I'm just trying to understand what you mean." Her: "When you were a baby, in my and you tried to kill me, I knew then that you HATED ME."

      We're all just looking at each other, and I'm starting to wonder if it's another one of those moments that I'll question the reality of later. (Spoiler alert, I obviously did.)

      Her: "And when you weren't, you STILL HATED ME. When you would cry, I would put you in your crib and leave the house for my own PEACE."

      Her: "If you weren't such an evil and hateful baby, maybe I would have been nicer to you!"

      Her: "You're still THE SAME. All you do is annoy and bother me! You STILL HATE ME!"

      The whole time, she's doing her crooked, evil smile and her tone made one of my friends ask... "during all of that, was she proud of what she did to you?"

      Yes. She was proud. She's still proud of her actions and she loves to relive my ab e while somehow simultaneously denying any of it happened... but this time, like a few other times, I had a witness (3) that wasn't just my partner.

      Reality was checked, and now my friends who haven't seen that side of her know the truth about her.

      It's like a weight it lifted every time someone sees who she is.
