National Lazy Mom's Day 2024 is on Thursday, September 5, 2024: What is your favourite national stereotype.?

Thursday, September 5, 2024 is National Lazy Mom's Day 2024. National Lazy Mom's Day - List of 10 Things To Do on Lazy Moms Day! National Lazy Mom's Day

My grandmother on dad's side is Polish, and she isn't exactly the shiniest peanut in the turd, especially when she's drunk on cheap beer.

My grandpa, her hubby, is an inbred southern redneck who is really into Dueling Banjos, so don't ever bend over around him, and yes, he's drunk all the time, too, on moonshine.

My grandma on mom's side is American Indian, and she actually is drunk all the time, and then she beats the hell out of everybody and scalps them.

My grandpa, her hubby, is French-Italian. So he's a wine-drinking, foul-smelling, nookie-munching surrender-monkey half the time, and the rest of the time he's stuffing his best friends in the trunk and beating the sh!t out of his kids, including his twenty-seven spaghetti-twirling, thieving little bastards from all around the neighborhood, who then get buggered by their priest.

I always thought you English were a bunch of world-dominating, Guinness-downing, great puking poofters with really bad horse-teeth? My god... I think I might be a limey bastard!

My mom won't let me skip school, and all the other seniors are doing it.?

First of all, my opinions concerning school are rather unpopular, just so you know. But here goes:

I see nothing wrong with an occasional skip day. Maybe one every few months. When I was a teenager, there were some days where my mother would look at me in the morning and say, "What do you think you're doing?" And I'd say, "Getting ready for school. Why?" She'd then say, "No, you're not. Get back to bed, go watch TV or go read a book. You're taking your mental health break today." That's what she called them: mental health breaks. She always said that every once in a while, you need to take it easy and just be lazy for a day or you'd lose your mind.

I think of it as preventative maintenance. Our health involves more than just our bodies. Sometimes our minds get overworked and we just need to relax for one day. When you consider all the real problems that can arise from being overstressed, (ulcers, migraines, depression and others) a day off school (or work) once in a while is far less damaging to everyone involved.

I know I'm the minority opinion here and that's all it really is: an opinion. Your mom has your best interests at heart and it's her right and responsibility to lay down the rules that she feels are right. You may not agree with your mom, but for now, she's the one in charge. You might want to mention the preventative maintenance aspect of an occasional skip day to her, but if she's still opposed, you have to abide by her decision.

By the way, for those out there that might criticize my mom's approach, (and there are people out there that have e-mailed me, telling me that my mother was irresponsible and so am I) I'd like to point out that neither my brother nor I can be classified as "slackers," nor was our academic performance adversely affected by our lazy days. Quite the contrary: both of us were members of the National Honor Society when we graduated at the top of our classes. I'd say Mom did a pretty good job.
