I think the OP is better off having a living will signed by someone they can trust and just not discuss it again. Thats what I've done with my sister, she has a signed and notarized advanced directive should anything happen to me because our mother is weirdly religious and controlling like that, and she absolutely would keep me on a feeding tube for years and years and years like Terri Schiavo's selfish parents did. My mother doesn't know my sister has these documents and unless something actually does happen theres no reason to upset her with that knowledge.

Story five: In my country there's a manga-style comic, advised for those age 10 and up. I'd often see parents buy it for their kids who are less then 10.

“My mom asked how she would visit my grave” Weird how her mom just assumed that she would live longer than op. Wouldn’t the mom die of old age first?

But that’s not something that a parent would expect to do, let alone plan out what happens after like op’s mom was doing.

​@@nevan2201 I know it's been a year but saw your comment and wanted to post based off it. Most people nowadays are more familiar with the goofy cartoon TMNT series and movies. To be fair, even that, to a point, holds true to their origin comics, which is to make fun of super heroes, their villains, and the situation they get themselves into and out of, as well as the side characters they come across (such as April being a typical damsel in distress and a pretty decent parody of Lois Lane). However the original comics, from what I understand, were parodying the types of comics at the time, which were grim, gritty and, supposedly more realistic. With the characters being super serious, often melodramatic, etc. Think Batman or Daredevil. Well, more Daredevil since he and the turtles share an origin (lol).

Second: They stopped asking me to watch the little cuties, when I started to teach them some harmless but annoying pranks. They wanted to be babysit by me, the parents hated it.😁 Book story: Exactly same with anime! This happens me all the time! A few years ago my mom asked me to let my youngest sister watch cartoons with us. She was 3. Me and my other sister were watching I think Elfen Lied. I warned her. She didn't care, so I showed my mom a bloody part. I suggested she watches with us a different one. Since then mom hates anime. But the youngest is doing well with Pokemon and her current intrest is FNAF.

Third story: when someone tells me this sh*t about the intact body, I have this answer: "If God is all-powerfull, I don't see why He would have a problem to resurrect me from a bunch of ashes". But it's always the same, people using religion to control other people's lives and bodies. Ma'am, your daughter isn't the one going to hell for this, you are. Fifth story: I can't fault some random person for not knowing that the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics were NOT for kids. I mean, I only became aware of that later in my life after I started reading Usagi Yojimbo. But still, if the cashier is telling you that the book is not recomended for kids, you might damn well listen to them. You don't get to accuse someone of traumatizing your kids when it was you who decided to go against the other person's advice.

[@DeathProductions200]

According to the mom and anyone who is equally religious in the "body must be intact" type way. Even if i was the most religious person out there, and measurably the best person out there. Im going to hell purly because I'm missing my leg. Doesn't make sense to me. Fortunately I'm not religious so threats like that don't hurt me, but it's such a dumb manipulation tactic

[@zroku123]

Third story: it’s not selfish to be an organ donor and want to be cremated. And even if it was, if there’s any time a person is entitled to be selfish, it’s when deciding what happens to their meat vessel after they’re no longer using it.

[@PinataFreaks]

Regarding the 3rd story, Matthew 18:8: "So if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand or one foot than to be thrown into eternal fire with both of your hands and feet." The bible says nothing about being thrown to hell for not having a whole body. It full on says the opposite.

[@chakatfirepaw]

An important thing to remember about TMNT: Issue 1 starts with the Turtles picking a fight with, and slaughtering, a street gang. It ends with the Shredder, bleeding out from Leo's katana having gone clean through him, falling from a rooftop with a live thermite grenade in his hand, (yes, he dies in the very first issue and never returns[1]). The "Heroes on a Half Shell" were raised and trained for the sole purpose of carrying out a revenge murder, which they do without hesitation. [1] Several other people do take up the name over the years, including Raphael.

lol now my brain made up this idea that you and your family are having family dinner and the conversation goes like this to sibling ' how was church choir honey" sibbeling : great mom, we don't have everything down yet but we are gonna make it' mom 'how great' turns to you 'and you sweety, did that mean neighbour turn bald yet from the satanic ritual you preformed?

there's something i find extremely funny about that one mom saying "you'll pollute the environment with your remains" to someone who wants to be cremated instead of buried, i'm not sure about burials when you aren't embalmed but i'm pretty sure cremation is a hell of a lot better than embalming chemicals.

[@smallfry3906]

The pool story is one that is disturbingly common. My family used to have an above ground pool years ago (the only one on the street) and the amount of times that the nosy, entitled kids tried to climb the fence and swim without our knowledge was insane. They never made it over the fence, thankfully but that didn’t stop us from reporting their actions to the parents

[@TheCamdog9]

Last story: those parents clearly lacked some common sense. Just Googling the covers for The Last Ronin comic book shows that that version of TMNT looks very different from the TMNT on Nickelodeon.

"Why can't you babysit for me?" I've explained to my kids and grandkids: If You confess that someone else did it---it's not confession, it's tattling. If you volunteer someone else---it's not volunteering, it's avoiding being a volunteer. Never ask someone to do something you wouldn't do yourself---and will if asked.

Both my Nana and Pappaw and Grammy and Granpy were cremated and are buried in cemeteries. I think in the one my Nana and Pappaw are buried in only deals with the burial of cremated remains as the few times I’ve been there I haven’t seen a regular headstone; just ones big enough to cover up where the urn is, hold a first and last name and the year of birth and year of death. The one Grammy and Granpy are in has a mix of cremated and casket burials

[@fdm2155]

For the mom with the kids at camp, if the slow line of cars was the issue, why not park in OPs driveway and walk to the camp if that's faster? That's a favor. Babysitting your kids for hours, every day...for free is not a 'favor'. That's an unpaid job!

God, I love it when people think that cremation is polluting the planet more then buring a chemical pumped corpse into the ground, also...why is the mother so sure that OP, her daughter, is gonna die before her? 😶

[@spydersoup8447]

Probably because since OP's brother died before the mother, the mother thinks OP will be next.

[@katrina8231]

Oh yeah the last ronin ninja turtle story is incredibly graphic and heart breaking, it's a good read for older fans but children shouldn't be allowed to to read it unless you got one of them kids that can handle tons of gore which still probably Isn't a good thing, it's definitely a good read though for anyone else interested in reading a gruesome and tragic TMNT story

That whole "need a body for heaven" thing is so completly incomprihensible to me. Europe does not keep bodies intact for long, cremation or grinding the body to dust is the traditional way to deal with them because there's just not enough space for bodies. Heck, half of london is a filled with bodies from old graveyards that got repurposed with no care to even remember there were graves there. This is some crazy shit from the USA again.

[@brokencreationlordmegatrol3037]

[@thunderflare59]

Don't know where op's mom got the thought that you can't go to heaven if your body isn't intact. Certainly not from the Bible. OP should bring up when Jesus said "better to go to Heaven with one hand than go to Hell whole". Shut down that manipulative narcissist bs immediately.

3rd story: I have no idea where the mom got the idea that it's a sin to not keep your body intact. I've NEVER heard of it and I've been Christian my whole life.

[@queenofputrescence5167]

The only thing I have heard is that the Catholic Church, while it condones cremation, does not condone separating the ashes. They all have to remain together. You can't split among family members, or keep some and spread some. But of course, that is just according to the Vatican.

[@ivylasangrienta6093]

How do those religions who need the body to be intact handle something like a burst appendix? An accident that cuts off their leg? I've often wondered this. Religion is weird, man.

[@Astrolionking]

Even then, isn’t the spirit disconnected form it’s physical form??

Why do I have a feeling that the mom in the last story is the type to think that comics are only for kids?

[@eiji1706]

My aunt is a single mother with a 6 y/0 daughter who has heavy autism. Her son- 20y/o is not interested tbh. Because she moved to the village, I never saw her ask for help. It is always she who does all the work. This Single mom with 3 kids is a joke :./

[@antoniomatias8919]

You seem like a great mom are you married

[@Jonathan-ic9ef]

So wait, that mom thinks that spreading ashes is harmful to the environment (which it's not, by the way, it's good for soil), but she thinks that burying someone fully-clothed in a casket which is, in turn, buried in a large metal vault is completely okay?

That ones about being the youngest female in the generation, I think she forgot about the oldest female cousin always being the stuck babysitting all the younger cousins. Or how the boys are used as bellboys and runners/goffers (go-for this, go-for that). Unless you are older than 80, when your at a family gather, you're going to be pressured into doing inconvenient things to make life easier for someone older than you. It's all part of the "oh so fun" stress and drama of large family gatherings. Probably explains why family reunions are not as common as they were a couple generations ago.

[@velvety2006]

my aunt told me i needed to control the kids of my cousin's bf while we were at a very child-unfriendly restaurant of her choice. I flat out told her we should have gone to a restaurant where they could play. she was pissed lol. i was not even related the kids

[@test-kf2zv]

To play half of a devil's advocate, just saying "one of the turtles dies" or maybe "passes away" to make it more kid friendly probably would've gotten through to them better. Especially if they didn't know how dark the original 80's comics were. (I sure had no idea until just now!) That said, they should've taken the hint and not blamed OP or the cashier.
