What does "she acts like a Jewish mother" mean in your view?

Asked by Aster (20023points) October 12th, 2013

I hope it isn’t bad; someone said that about me once after watching me with my daughter. What does it mean?

Neurotic, meddling, overbearing, over protecting, controlling, guilt tripping, hypochondriac, all in all….a miserable mental wretch. lol

^^ Being one myself, that pretty much covers it. I have gotten mine under control, however.

@Coloma oh, good. I was afraid it might be negative.

Haha…well….my mother was not Jewish but I used to call her a Jewish mother.
Jeesh…it’s a wonder my lungs didn’t atrophy from all the smothering. lol

Add obessessed with appearances (what “they” say you should be wearing this season), eager to interrupt, unwilling to knock before entering, tactless and not happy that you might be part of decisions made about you.

^^^ Well ya know, that narcissism and fusion. Run Forrest RUN!

My Jewish mother was great, so if a woman who acts like one comes along, I’m in!
