Being rushed as a child.

Post Reply New Topic

Did you ever feel that your mum or dad rushed you, as a child to get out of the house, when there were errands to get done, almost to the point of a meltdown. This is a spin-off of the topic of mothers taking a long time.

This used to happen to me a lot, when I was a kid. I wasn't doing anything wrong, and that my mum would start rushing me and coercing me into moving faster, to get ready than my not so fast arms and legs could allow me, to do so. The last time she tried that on me, was when I was 19. I was talking about crying, that entire trip that we were on, so she didn't do that to me, any more after that incident.

When your mother does that to you at the age of 7, it's different from having that done to you, at the age of 19 but that still doesn't make it, right.

Did your parents ever did that to you?

Yeah. And when I'd get to the store, I wanted to touch everything I found fascinating. If I couldn't I would throw a big fit. I was used to being rushed, but I could never get over touching things in the store. And I hardly ever broke anything. As a kid, they would joke I would have to do work if I broke it, and I would be like "OK!" cause of the honest abe aspect. xD

Sometimes all this rushing and pessimistic talking would cause me to throw a fit BEFORE WE GET TO THE STORE.

Btw, I still put my creepy hands all over everything. They still get nervous sometimes.

Yes but it wasn't their fault. There was school and church and doctor appointments and there was a time limit when to get ready and what time you had to leave to be there by. Mom just didn't want us to be late. I hated it and I would always feel uncomfortable.

As a parent I would just be grabbing my child's shoes and coat and pull them out the door and they can put their shoes on in the car. If I had to rush them, I would also put their shoes on and tie them and grab their stuff and pull them out of the house. I can always carry him too when he is still small.

I don't remember, honestly. I remember one particular incident where we had to skip church because my breakfast spilled on my clothes and my mom couldn't find a replacement dress.

My mom never rushed. I was always telling her to hurry up.

I was rushed a lot as a child but part of it was cuz I'm famous for procrastinating, over sleeping, & I have bad fine motor skills so it took a long time for me to button my shirts & tie my shoes. The pressure & stress for rushing to get ready made it even worse cuz I'd panic & screw-up so it'll take 2wice as long. I liked touching things in stores a lot at times but my dad touches things randomly as he passes by em. I still get rushed by my parents sometimes because I go to bed late when I need to wake up early & my parents also decid to go places at the last minute. They don't know they are going anywhere till they are ready to leave & then they get mad at me cuz I'm not ready when I didn't know they wer going anywhere. I wished they planned things out more & my mom blames me cuz I am "difficult" by wanting advance notice when we are going somehwere

my dad was always telling me to move my slug ass. i could never be fast enough for him, doing anything. it was always "hurry UP!"

My mum was verbally abusive, as she rushed me. I felt like dirt.

Absolutely. My mom always was telling me to hurry up, as she and my father were practically on a dead run most of the time. I seem to remember most of the time, when they weren't yelling at me about something, they were fighting.
