Among your mom’s many talents, there’s one hidden talent that you’ve probably witnessed a few (or many) times. It’s the gift of guilt-tripping. Here are just a few of the many things she says and does that makes you feel soooo terrible for basically… everything.
Guilt-tripping usually begins as soon as your mom gets home from work and starts talking about how exhausted she is.

It’s crucial for her to let you know about all of the sacrifices she was making for you.
But in case that doesn’t make you feel bad, she goes on to list every single errand she had to run.

She follows with a deep sigh after every little thing she lists.
Which then leads to her classic speech about, “When I was your age…”

Because your childhood was a piece of cake compared to hers.
And if you didn’t help her around the house, you could expect to hear, “When you guys want something I do it right away, but when I ask for a favor you guys just can’t do it.”

So you had to make sure she didn’t catch you lying around the house.
To make you feel even worse about not helping her, she would then hit you with, “Yo partiendome la madre y tú bién agusto.”

And this is the exact look she would give you.
She almost made you feel as if having fun was a sin — especially when you would go out with your friends.

How could you just turn your back on your family like that??
You couldn’t even enjoy your night out, because she would call you to say, “No me puedo dormir hasta que tú llegues, y tengo que trabajar temprano en la mañana.”

And the longer you would take to get home, the more she would call you to complain.
If you complained one bit about how tired or hungover you were the next day, your mom would guilt trip you with: “…ahhh pero anoche.”

In a sarcastic tone she would ask you, “How is it that you had soooo much energy last night, but today you can’t function??”
In cases that didn’t make you feel bad enough, she would then start comparing you to your perfect cousins (those little angels!) who were sooooo much better than you. ?

Such encouragement…
It was almost as if the world was going to end every time your mom said, “que dios te perdone.”

Since she couldn’t forgive you for everything bad you’ve done, she just hoped that God would be able to forgive you.
But nothing beat your mom’s super dramatic and melancholic, go-to line: “Ah pero cuando yo me muera.”

And as much as you hate hearing all of these things, your mom only says it because she loves you.?
