Is it normal that my mom calls me names when we play scrabble?

My mom is super competitive when it comes to our favorite game, scrabble, and she calls me names like "whore" and says things like, "you little bitch" when I'm in the lead. I cry myself to sleep at night and sometimes want to tear her hair out while yelling, "I hate your dirty scrabble rhetoric, ma! Save it for the game board!" but I don't have the cojones. IIN? What do I do?

Is It Normal?

  • You need to call her out on it. Tell her right then and there how you feel. Also sounds like your mom is a sore looser. And call her a sore loser if you don't want to confront her. At least that's what I would do.

  • Wait... You cry yourself to sleep because of some swearing?
    What do you do after you get home from school? - Not normal.

  • My family acts like that were all super competitive and call each other nasty names and effed up ways to distract each other, no one is off limits even my grandma in fact she's the worst. It's all in good fun and we all love each other dearly but it's all fair in games. do it back seriously it's fun and the ultimate upside is that you're spending time together and having fun which equal bonding and closeness as a family unit. Stop crying she doesn't mean it I promise!

  • Not normal. Your mom sounds like a little whiny slore who hates on you because you are clearly more well read than her. However , my guess is that you're a word slut. Yeah. I said it. Word slut. Ahahahaha.

  • Certainly not! You need to put that woman back in her place. Play words that will give her a hint.
    "C-u-n-t"
    "R-u-d-e"
    "S-w-i-n-e"
    "T-r-o-l-l-o-p"
    "S-l-a-g"
    "T-w-a-t"
    "F-i-l-t-h"
    "B-i-t-c-h"
    "U-n-c-u-l-t-u-r-e-d"
    "D-i-s-r-e-s-p-e-c-t-f-u-l"
    "P-u-t-a" ("puta" is the Spanish word for whore. I think the Italian version is "putana").

  • Thou must fight back, and not cry over such simple name calling when playing Scrabble.

  • Sounds like you need to grow some and start responding, name calling is just a way of intimidation, and being intimidated puts you of your game, take her by suprise and go on the offensive and maybe even raise the level of the crudity of the language, it has worked many a time and dont take the name calling personally your mother would probably say that to everyone

  • That's really mean. And I thought my mom was messed up. You should talk to her or your dad about it.

  • You cry yourself to sleep about it? Wow, even for a girl thats pathetic. It's a game. Call her names back, that's what she probably expects you to do.

  • That's too funny. Next time she's winning do the old folks do at the homes and flip the scrabble board. That's always a good ending. Look at the board for a while like your thinking then yell FUCK SCRABBLE and flip it over haha. It'll be awesome!
