Is it normal that my mother is ignorant and stupid?

As much as I'd like to believe this is a troll or you're under-stating your mother's mental abilities for comic effect, I know there are a lot of people like her. There's obviously a market for all the crap she consumes in her magazines, TV and websites.

I can fully understand your exasperation, but I really don't think there's much you can do about people like her. If someone is willfully stupid, the best you can to is ignore them and try to minimize their effect on your life.

My mother wasn't all that smart, and she had some weird ideas of her own. I left home when I was 16, moved to the other side of the world when I was 22, and never went back. My younger siblings had to deal with her foolishness, the worst of which was an obsession with a series of multi-level marketing schemes. The next one was always going to make her a fortune, but of course she ended up having to sell the family home and move in with one of my sisters.

It sounds like your mother has a very narrow life. I suppose the only thing you can be grateful for is that you're able to see that because your horizons are wider.

On a minor point, I've lived in an Italian town, and there weren't many centenarians around. There were quite a few alcoholics, and people who smoked like chimneys. There were also a lot of people who looked older than their years, some due to continual stress about the economy and family pressures, and some, I suspect, due to a shallow gene pool.

my mother and two little sisters think like that and i have friends who have mothers who are solely into media trends and all that crap. unfortunately i think its normal but not right.

Another person who doesn't want to believe that all those magazines and TV shows are to distract her from the bigger plans that are happening around the earth. people like them, They don't want to believe things can go wrong; they don't want to think that there's issues beyond the celebrity gossip and there are secrets that can change the lives of millions of people. She wants to be safe forever in her bubble of beauty products magazines and talk shows.

hopefully something will hit her one day, and she will realise how distracted she has become. you can try and wake her up and show her real news, real information, but if she doesn't want to believe then she wont and she will tell you that your crazy.

Women are just semen tank for a man

Fact is if she took an IQ test she might score around 80. and you might score a normal 100 or higher. thats life, some women are as dumb as a bag of hammers. case in point 1n 1959 my mother thought the advisors sent to Vietnam to fight the armed guerrillas(little warriors) were gorilla ( hairy non human beast ).
