  • Because something is true doesn't mean that we have the right to say it anyway we want to. If someone is promiscuous we don't get to find the meanest way of calling them that and then just say it. That is abusive and it isn't deserved.

    If a girl is promiscuous and her mother is concerned then she needs to talk to her daughter about how it's not healthy emotionally or physically. Because someone is promiscuous, it doesn't give anyone the right to demean them and call them a "whore". It may be the truth that a child is doing bad in school but that doesn't mean calling them a moron is deserved.

    The only point in calling names is to hurt the other person. That's it. It's not meant to instruct them or challenge them. It's meant to be hateful and nothing more.

    A mother calling her daughter any name for any reason is completely uncalled for. It doesn't matter if she is angry or at her wits end. A parent should always be a support system for a child and their greatest champion.

    Don't let anyone say it's OK because they are upset and couldn't help themselves. We don't get to hurt people because we are angry. People are responsible for their own actions no matter the situation.

    Being called names is never deserved.

  • The strongest role model in a female's life is her mother (same sex parent). I cannot think of anything more cruel and demeaning than to say that to a child. I might understand if it's a moment of anger or something like that but even then it's uncalled for. A mother should be loving, respectful, set a positive example, supportive, caring, nurturing. If a girl's mother calls her names, it will negatively affect her self esteem and her internal dialogue. I guarantee that girl will find it extremely difficult to respect and love herself. I would NEVER say that to my daughter, I would tell her how much I love her.

  • Verbal abuse from parents can be the most hurtful. I have a friend who's mother has always called her fat (Although she isn't) and she has never been able to see herself differently

  • I hate, hate, HATE when kids have to parent their parents.

    But, this is clearly more about Mom's issues than Daughter's issues. Not only does Mom have unchecked baggage, but it is now threatening her relationship with Daughter. AND, Daughter has to find a way to express this in a compassionate, nonconfrontational way.

    Daughter has her hands full. I wish her luck.

  • It's completely wrong in ALL cases. Your mother should be you're rock and support and love you unconditionally. A mother should never ever denigrate her daughter like that. I don't even approve of calling women sluts in general. A mother calling her daughter a whore is ten times worse.

    • I wish you could tell them to my mother

    • That**

  • Deserved or not it would be very hurtful! Problem here is we know nothing about what all took place to make her mother say such a thing. Many things that should never be said are said in the moment of anger.

  • My mom does the same thing she even tells me to kill my self im a waist of space etc... Its wrong and try not to let it hurt your feelings or the daughter or who ever speak to somone im always available

  • If the mother has a valid reason for calling her that then it's fine.

  • My mom called me ugly names like “whore”, “slut”, “hoe”, and “hooker” because of how I dressed when I was about to go hang out with the guy I met on Facebook dating, and broke up with because of her. I was angry because she was bitching right in front of me, so I called her a “bitch”. Why? Well, she shouldn’t have called me a “whore” because of how I dressed and how I met that guy whom she thought was a stranger and I agreed with. So mostly, I didn’t deserve to be called a “whore” and a “drama queen”. I always hated it. Just because she thinks I’m promiscuous or learning how to love, even when I’m dating a short man or something, don’t mean she can call me a fuckin’ whore. I did not deserve that. I hope my mother learned her lesson on not degrading women who are starting to date someone whom they got to know for a couple minutes.

  • Very hurtful and it's never "deserved. My mother called me a "slag" when I was in my late teens. That's a British slang word for a whore. I had major issues with my self-esteem/sexuality for a long time (not just due to that, other problems at home but being called a slag didn't help). It's taken me decades to work through that and other things said to me. If it's someone you know or you it's happening to I'd get outside help e. g. therapy if it's affecting you.
