Maybe it is my old age or maybe it is that enough is enough, but here lately when someone does something to "dis" on Mama, this person becomes an indignant, bad-ass, mo-fo, lunatic. Ha, ha, ha! It is really not that bad, but it does upset me as I am very sure it upsets the rest of my siblings. And the fact of disrespecting Mama does not garner any excuses about who did it or why they did it...it is like the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) in my book...if you "dis" on Mama it will be equal opportunity for you to suffer the wrath of me/us.
Never mind that as one of Mama's children, I try never to disrespect her myself. None of my siblings disrespect Mama. We might disagree, but we know (or we should know) when to stop and just let it go and shut (WTF) up. Deciding to choose our battles. So when someone other than one of Mama's children does something to "dis" on her or to upset her, we are gonna do a 'Rambo' on you. She has lived a long life and should now be allowed to enjoy life without the bother of someone else bringing problems into her life or treating her like she is new to this world.
She is not only matriarch and patriarch (since Dad passed away) to our family, but she is the oldest sibling in her entire family. That is something. She is the oldest in the Moreno family, the Carbajal-Moreno family, the Saldivar-Martinez family. That is awesome. As we go back to Mom's parents, Francisco and Evita (Saldivar) Moreno, only three children stem from that marriage...1) Mom 2) Adan and 3) Francisco Jr. Her parents separated (not sure they ever actually divorced) and grandpa Francisco (aka Pancho) married Francisca Carbajal (aka Pancha) and had numerous kids while grandma Evita (aka Malande) married Gabriel Martinez and they also had numerous kids.
That, folks, is a huge family and for Mama to be at the helm of it should make us as proud as it does her so when she is not revered in such a manner befitting someone in her position as head of such a huge family, you should be able to see and to understand why my siblings and I get angry. She has earned the right to be respected by everyone with family ties.
So regardless of where you are situated within her family, the next time you speak with her maybe tell her how proud of her you are and for goodness sake...keep the drama on a low-key and be mindful to not add to her woes or her stress.
