Today, while discussing my grades with my mother, she told me that when she was my age she was dumb but hardworking, and my dad was lazy but very smart. She then added, "You managed to get the worst out of each of us." FML

Don't you just love supportive mothers?

Well if those were her back to words of encouragement then her own self-description appears entirely accurate. God love her she's trying hard to be supportive and meant well.

It's kind of tricky actually. You don't really want the mother to coddle OP and encourage failure. Hopefully the OP uses this as fuel to show that they have the smart and hardworking traits as well.

Was she basing it entirely off of your grades? Just because they're low doesn't mean she has the right to call you dumb and lazy.

He'll chip off the old block lol

Prove her wrong. Then she wouldn't have anything bad to say.

Sorry to hear that OP but at least you know you aren't adopted.

^ Soo you're to dumb to write "you're" correctly or too lazy to correct it?

Too bad I did it right on "lazy" but not on "dumb" and I even corrected the comment once... Guess I failed this one.

Non identical twins. We got opposite traits. Good spelling by the way, so smart. I'm glad to see you commented, and put such effort in to your comment.

Actually, I think you mean Ya done ****** up crossing over. OP's parents genes switched around to create a mutant of dumb and lazy. Woohoo, mutants!

Use it as motivation to prove her wrong OP! Keep trying :)

Lucky for you both work ethic and knowledge can be learned. Unlike being smart, intelligence is something you're born with, but you can still be of below average intelligence and work hard to make up for it.
