My name Isn’t Bruh!

When did this nightmare start, you ask? Well, let’s see, when I think back to when I first felt this tick in my neck, I quickly realized that it occurred when my name became Bruh!

It seems like yesterday I was called Mommy, then Mama, then Ma, and now Bruh!

Here’s what gets me, and if you have a teenager, then you will understand what I’m about to say. As you may know, teenagers are temperamental, little, broke, and sarcastic (a universal truth of parenting a teenager).

These little sarcastic jerks will hit with the Bruh whenever they feel like you’re saying something they deem as shocking, annoying, or funny.

So, as you can see, Bruh has many meanings; you just have to catch the tone in which it’s delivered.

The majority of the time, it doesn’t matter what you say; if they aren’t in the mood for whatever you have to say, they’ll take a deep breath and hold it for so long that you’ll think if they hold it any longer, they will pass the hell out. It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a dramatic movie, but the only audience is you. 

Meanwhile I’m trying not to burst into laughter or tell her if you call me Bruh, one more time, I’m not cooking dinner for a week, and I’m done being your free Uber driver. 

Then, right when you forget that they’re holding their breath, they let out a quiet yet dramatic sigh, and then here comes my new magical name…Bruh! 

Now, I’d love to hear your ‘Bruh’ moments with your teenagers. Please share them in the comments below.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  2. yesterday I walked into a grocery store behind a mom and daughter, a mom has a new vehicle with a racing stripe, the daughter says, ma that’s embrarrasing!…so I had to pipe in, and say that’s what us parents get to do, it’s payback for when the kids were younger and barfed, pooped, snorted, burped or whatever that embarrased us…and yes I have walked my son to his school bus stop in my housecoat and pajamas…

  14. Ha ha ha. My son, who is now 36, used to say “Word” in response to anything I’d say. What does that mean? I’d scowl. “Word”, he’d answer. Now, many years later, he still calls me “Ma”, lol.

    2. Cindy- That part about how they think they know everything, 😂😂 You definitely got that right!! When my oldest daughter was younger and living at home, she thought she knew everything and she had to learn the hard way after she moved out and got into some bad and toxic relationships. Now my 17 year old daughter who still lives at home is falling into that same category where she thinks she knows it all. But sadly, after she moves out on her own she will get a rude awakening. They all have to learn the hard way.

      1. It’s so true and I think even into adulthood they are listening and find themselves coming back to our words and we have impact as they’re pushing us away and trying to find themselves. 💗💗

  21. lol 😂 So damn relatable! My 17 year old daughter calls me “bruh” all the time. Especially when she can’t get her way. I still have text messages from her saying “bruh, why not?” or “bruh, please.” Like bruh, I am not your “bruh.” 😂😂 I am your Mother! You call me mom! lol…Kids today are so highly influenced by todays society. They are like little sassy adult sponges who soak up everything. For years I’ve been trying to raise my daughter to be a leader rather than a follower but it makes it especially difficult when there is so much pressure to be like the world.
