A Typical Fight With An Irish Mother | TOMMY TIERNAN

As any Irish person knows, your mammy is a constant in your entire life. But you must never cross her, for if you do you will suffer a fate worse than death, you will feel the wrath of God come down upon you. You shall be destroyed by the strength of a thousand winds, for the Golden God has come for you. A typical fight with an Irish Mother goeth thusly, according to Tommy Tiernan.

[@crazygreenlady7907]

I am the mother. I completely understand your mums rage, its hormones and oppressive patriarchy getting the better of us. And in response to people posting on here saying this is misogynistic I disagree...I sense you love your mum and are very grateful to her not least for her providing you with fantastic material for your routine.

I miss my little Irish mum. I am old man now of 64 and mum made it to 96. And she was still fighting right up to the end. A Cork woman, with a build like Popeye. Oh she was small but hard as nails. The problem was her brothers the Creans from Kinsale taught her boxing. They were all sailors and fishermen, and they also taught her to swear like one of them. I saw her once hop about a 2 meter fence and take down a Clonmel neighbour twice her size who told her to "Feck off!" "Yer wot!" she said and that was it. Off she went like a little whirlwind. That neighbour she put on the floor with one punch and sat on top of her bashing the face in. She used to give us a good belt about the head. My dad used to run. Kind of funny seeing an English Protestant man running from a little Irish Catholic woman. Dad certainly could run fast :) But she and dad loved us all. And they loved one another deeply for over 65 years. She was the last of her family to go. One thing I can say is that the Irish have life by its tail and they will hang on to it.

@@flipacoin3593 True I can agree with that. well, Waterford is not so far away. The Irish are a tough lot. I must admit I often think about my uncles because they are all gone and I wish I could have known them better. Ireland is always in the back of my mind and my mum put it there. I keep saying I will go visit my family there in Ireland but we always seem to be so poor here it is a kind of dream. One day it might happen :)

My ma used to shout, “I’ll fuckin’ crucify ye”, which other people presumed was a figure of speech, not knowing that she had actually already crucified me for real. Not the full “nails hammered through the wrists” version, just the “tied hanging from the staircase by my arms” version. She properly tried to kill me on 3 different occasions.

[@chrissiewindsor]

My friend from Co Tipperary, the youngest of a shitload of kids, he was the youngest & expected to look after Mammy. He got his HGV licence & took a job that kept him away in Europe for 5 days a week, just as soon as he was old enough. He told me he didn’t blame her, his Da had run away to England with Mammy’s sister, leaving her with all these kids! My friend would say they were like a small flock of sheep, following her round, calling, “Ma, Ma!” All at once. I loved my visits to his home town though, everyone I was introduced to said, “Welcome home to Roscrea.” They we’re so generous & kind. I went to a wedding there & there were 7 bridesmaids & 7 groomsmen! A massive sit down dinner for 300, several rooms booked for those who got too pissed to get on the coach home! It was like money was no problem at all. My friend told me that an Irishman started a bank account for his daughter’s wedding the day she was born. I believe it too! It was spectacular!

My mother to a "T"!! A screamer and she could reduce you to a quivering spot of jelly on the floor in 10 seconds of her interrogating! She once had my father come to take me out of my 5th grade class at mid day because she wanted to know why I had gotten into her bag of fabric scraps while they were on vacation ...And the worst was elwhen she gave you a spanking ( with dads leather belt or a "bolo" paddle) she became a madwoman who was so worked up she just wouldn't stop! My dad would have to enter in and grab her arm to make her quit and tell her "that's enough!" I only got one spanking from her and that's all it took for me to become a child that blended into the walls!

The way he describes his mother, was the way my mother was. She was always threatening to kill me ("I. Bought you in this world, I can take you out!") Always threatening to send me away! nice one day, mean, the next. For years, I tried to figure out, if she was just mean, for no particular reason, or just Irish! I have no desire. ever, to visit Ireland. The people I associate with, are of Irish descent, so they can't be avoided. I am angry, but I can't deny my Irish heritage. My dad was Irish & Scottish. Irish people strike me as mean & sarcastic. But this is the hand of cards God delt me. I can't hide behind other races (friends), so I deal with it.

[@helendavies1326]

We're Welsh. My mother never actually addressed me when threatening to kill me. But I heard her tell my dad "I swear I'll kill that child one day" when I had been particularly annoying. She was a lovely lady but I rubbed her up the wrong way. Frequently. And she loved naughtiness in little boys but not in her own daughters.

I think lots of folks cannot begin to understand what it's like to grow up with seriously insane and/or Irish parents, one of whom was usually gone missing at any given time while the other one fed you snot colored vegetables- I didn't know broccoli was supposed to be green until I went to jail, and WHAT a relief THAT was! Pancakes you ate with a dull spoon rather than drank from a broken bit of crockery? Heaven on earth it was! Mind you, my parents weren't detectibly Irish until they were in the bag- then it was jigs that broke every lamp in the room and an accent that made no sense at all. And then the teeth, my god, the teeth- we didn't celebrate the usual "normal" holidays because more often than not the latest harrowing toothache overshadowed even Christmas (although I suspect that had more to do with not wasting the drinking money on gifts and instead unwrapping stuff from my brother's room as they unwrapped stuff pinched from me and my sister's room and then done in reverse the following year and by then the shoes never fit anymore)... ah, but I've gone on too long...
