A Typical Fight With An Irish Mother | TOMMY TIERNAN

[@TommyTiernan]

Have you ever had a fight like this with your mother?

[@nathancloke8970]

To be sure i have, god rest her mental soul !!! Keep em coming Tommy !!!

[@billhawkins192]

It's good. But you underegged it a wee bit.

[@leewinnard9932]

yeah, I called my ma a di*ck and ran up the stairs away from her, I was a good age as well. 24 🤣🤣

[@happydaze7976]

Brilliant Tommy. Every irish mammy at some stage threatens to kill ye.🤣🤣🤣✌

[@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.

[@SolaScriptura-n-cats]

“GO ON, DADDY!! DRIVE HER LIKE YOU STOLE HER!!” Omg the best line EVER!!!!!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

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 :)

[@patrickjmolloy]

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.

If this is an example of an Irish childhood, I think my parents stole your guide book.

[@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!

[@minanes6549]

My (Ulster) Mum wasn't like this. But the school bag routine was absolutely real! Sometimes I'd leave it in the 'wrong' place and 30 seconds later it was flung out on the drive with accompanying instructions.

Oh my god I had this mother 😂🤣😂. I was 1 of 4 children and I remember we talked about how much better it would be if we could all go live at Bernardo’s. (Childrens home). I now know of course that my mother was a slave to her hormones, loving and suffocatingly affectionate one day and the devil incarnate the next ( sometimes the same day).The problem was you never knew what you were getting when you walked through the door.

IE: the top 20 cities in the US are all in red states!!!! Places like NYC, Chicago & LA Dont show up in the rankings till mid to late 20s & 30s !!!

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!
