WTAF?! -- Mom destructive force in professional life

[ESF]

This cannot be real.

Couldn't she report the behavior and tweets to Twitter as a violation of their terms of use?

[meshaliuknits]

So she wants her daughter to be unemployed?

[lobstertail]

Ask A Manager makes a good point - this behavior is just the tip of the crazy iceberg.

That's what I was thinking too.

We had a new attorney's mother call several times to call him out sick or explain why he was late to court. Fucking lol. He didn't last long.

When the school board here didn't close down because of a snow storm, there were parents of TEACHERS calling to complain that their child had to go to work.

I'm pretty sure it is, based on what I see at my university. From filling out paperwork (eg scholarships, study abroad applications), "correcting" grades, and requests to attend campus interviews and job fairs with their child. This is completely not surprising. There truly are parents who have no idea how to cut ties and let their kids figure things out independently.

Wow. I would break my mom's computer.

WTF?!?!!?  How does someone pass the bar but not realize that this shit will not fly?  I realize book smarts and common sense are not the same, but damn.

It was very obvious after a short time that he only went to law school for his parents. I don't think he actually planned to work....like...at a big boy job. I have no idea why my boss hired it. We were all just shaking our heads, lol.

The second day working I over hear him yelling on the phone about some appointment. He is basically in tears. I ask him if everything is okay as it sounded serious. That fucker was crying because he wasnt able to reschedule his HAIR APPOINTMENT. My fucking face was probably priceless.

LOL. Do you have more stories? I wonder what he's doing now. Life is pretty hard when you don't wanna adult.

[LadySusan]

Fremdschamen. So much fremdschamen.

Is there not a sane auntie in this family to put a quick stop to this foolishness?

[jeaniebueller]

I would report the accounts to FB and twitter.

Someone's mommy has failed him at setting him up to handle life. 

[DesertMoon]

I would tweet embarrassing things about my mom till she stopped, aka blackmail.

[10nille]

The Mom is deranged and I feel she has in her quest to control she has put her daughter in danger. She is putting out personal information on another adult. Frankly, I'd see if it was a criminal offense. Hope the daughter gets a permanent job and can move out and cut contact with her (until the mom gets help).
