I just need to rant about my mother. For awhile, she's been putting her 2 cents in about relationships and trying to be someones low budget matchmaker.
She has this weird idea that certain women on whatever the subject of a conversation are "missing out" by not choosing to stay with whatever scrote man is the topic of a conversation and her pick-me ideals transcend species because she also happens to be a (awful) dog owner. She projects her pick me ism on her female dogs.
This morning she thought her belgian shep is a "dummy" of a girl dog for not allowing herself to have puppies from the male dog the previous owners introduced her to. The male dog is a big, fat, lazy coward of a belgian malinois. He does not have nor was breed with the intention to be a stud dog. It's a pet. He has no genetic traits of a personal protection animal or working class dog of it's own classification. He is a big lazy, albeit adorable pet doggo.
I've never professionally bred nor want to be a dog breeder but I am fairly certain genetic testing is a huge concern. You can't just breed any idiot male dog.
Going back to my pick-me mom, she seems to think this of every species of female are somehow obligated to give themselves to whatever man is present at the moment. She could just be projecting her own misery for who she chose as a partner, my joke of a dad.
Dog conversation aside- she thinks this of any woman that somehow she thinks is wrong for not settling for whatever man she thinks for 1 second isn't that "bad" of a guy. I try to leave my pickme mom alone, her ideals aren't my problem. I just live here because I don't have another option right now.
I am so glad no one in this sub will ever have the misfortune of ever getting to meet this woman.
I have a cousin that married a stray: a dude with no family or friends. She still lives with my aunt and uncle. My cousin pretty much picked this dude up off the street and did her best Barb the Builder impersonation to get this man pulled together. Her brother got the husband a job, nothing fancy. When I express to my mom how my cousin settled she always responds with "Well he is a nice guy and he doesn't beat her." And I always get annoyed at her and say ,"That's the absolute basic minimum, Mom! A nice guy who doesn't beat you up. Listen to yourself!" And then she just shrugs her shoulders. I don't know where she gets this crap from because we do not come from a home where domestic abuse was present and she was not raised in that type of home either. She drives me nuts.
