I Hated My Mother

I was born, I had to practically beg for a name. She called me Bob, was probably the first thing that came to mind. As soon as I could fend for myself I left my mothers side and tended to an old neglected berry farm. It was the biggest source of food and no one was keeping it. So I did that. However one day... a child was born. It was my brother. My mother left it to die, despite the fact that thanks to my efforts we had a great supply of food. So I fed this child. Made sure he grew up. He was a little odd, but a good kid.

Then I found my mother. The war started, every time we saw each other we had a back and forth argument. She told me she was "Testing him" and that he "Passed the test". I was angry. Very angry, my mother never loved me or my brother. As time passed she grew old, I told her flat out "Wow you look bitchy, die soon". She called me a horrible and useless son. How did it go so wrong, why didn't she love us. My brother was an explorer, he died before me of starvation. I died old and bitter, hating my mother who shunned me and my brother.

I wanted to tell this story, because really there are so many crap mothers in this game. With no clue as to how important that role is, some just dont care. Raise those kids, I understand some have to die, I've let plenty die to save the village from famine, but when there is abundance and you neglect your children, well it pisses me off.

We might have been in the same village not sure tho. I was also ignored mostly by my mum. I was just an unloved boy, She even gave us all girl names. I can guess what that implied.

I ran off to work as soon as I grew some hair, I watered berries and made a sizable batch of pies later on. My mum never talked to me again but I saw her hanging around my sisters and her grandkids, It was quite obvious she only cared about her daughters.

I quietly worked my whole life while my sisters pumped out kids nonstop, I saw one of them get named Bob so it may have been you. They always seemed to have a baby in there arms, Was a few okay Nieces and Nephews but most of them didn't stand out.

I didn't really care when she got killed by a boar, She wasn't a part of my life anyway. One of my sisters told me that "mother loves us all" and I told her "Only her daughters".

I had nothing in that life, Was naked the entire time and only a 1-2 ppl said a word to me. I knew nobody would care that I died, Nobody said even said goodbye. I was glad to finally die of old age and be done with that life.

Re: I Hated My Mother

THX for your story, yeh, there are lots of story about family on forum.
I think that is one of the purpose about this game.

Re: I Hated My Mother

Reminds me of a time where I was born into a decent size town, and had my mother abandon me in the middle of the ripe berry fields. Luckily a cousin nursing her own kids saw me struggling and took me in and raised me.

My mom eventually came back, and I asked for a name a few times, with no response. Even my cousin-mom asked her to name me. Instead, she kept bugging my cousin-mom for her backpack. She even tried using me as a fucking bargaining chip lmao. "Give me the backpack and I'll take/name my kid." Cousin refused and kept taking care of me.

Mom finally came back shortly before I grew hair and named me. She tried to reclaim me as her own, but I just kept running out of her arms back to my cousin. I grew hair shortly after, and renounced my mother for the cousin who cared for me. She said "I'm your mom though" and I said "No, Cousin was a better mom."

We didn't drag it out much though. Parted ways, cousin who raised me died, and I found my wrinkled old ma. Told her I was sorry things weren't well between us, and that I wish she hadn't tried to abandon me or use me as a pawn to get gear. She apologized, and I wished her luck.

Re: I Hated My Mother

I’ve been given really shitty names and it basically freed me of any desire to be nice to the ma. An advance permission to completely ignore the player.

Re: I Hated My Mother

I really need to print a list of names and start using them. Bob is one i use quite a bit because it is short and a boys name. Although i was not part of these familys and i always try and take care of my children.

Although if you come into the game demanding stuff i am less likely to work and try and get you things. Demanding a crown or a backpack is not the way to go. I normaly give them to the child that is helping the vilage the most at the time. Not always the best solution, but it seems to be an ok call most the time. If you dont work you dont get rewords in my real house so why should my pixel family be treated any different.

Everyone has a job, so do your best at it.

oooh that story rings a bell to me, I might have been that cousin, but i'm not sure

I do believe it was This Lineage if it was you. At least, I think it was- the name Gertrude rings a bell from that playthrough, if only because I passed their bones like 10 times. 

I don't remember the name of the cousin/aunt/relative that fed me though.. I'm rly bad with remembering names, oof.
