And You Thought Your Mother Got on Your Nerves

You carry them for nine months, give birth to them, clothe them, feed them, bathe them, raise them, take care of them, let them stay in your home into adulthood if they need to.

And you hope that day will never come when they end up stabbing you to death.

The Los Angeles Daily News reports from Reseda.

A 24-year-old man was in custody today on suspicion of stabbing his 40-year-old mother to death inside her apartment in Reseda.

Do the math. She gave birth to him when she was 16, possibly 15. Plus, there's no mention of a father in the article.

Bryan Garcia-Munguia was arrested outside the Denny's restaurant on the corner of Reseda Boulevard and Saticoy Street in Reseda about 11:20 p.m. Monday, said Detective Joel Price of the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Station.

Family members who had just finished eating at the restaurant were gathered in the parking lot when the suspect unexpectedly showed up, prompting them to call police, Price said.

Yeah, it is not a good idea to show up to join family grieving over someone you killed.

His mother, Saida Munguia, was found fatally stabbed in the chest inside her apartment in the 7600 block of Reseda Boulevard, near Saticoy Street, on Monday afternoon, said LAPD Sgt. Ronnie Crump.

Now who is going to show up at his sentencing to insist that he really is a good boy?

"According to family and neighbors, there's been a rather rocky relationship between mother and child, in particular during the last week," Price said.

You don't say?

The victim and suspect lived together at the apartment, he added.

That had to have been a lot of fun. Even though he was living with his mother, he probably has a girlfriend, or at least booty calls. If so, he'll probably still have women pledging their love to him. After all, he hasn't stabbed them. Or if he did, it must have been their fault. Or they know they can change him.

His mother could have aborted him, but she didn't. And this is the thanks she gets? But it isn't surprising. When kids are born to mothers that young, especially if they are raised without a father, they are more likely to commit violent crime. Everyone would have been better off if she had given him up for adoption to be raised by mature, established, married people.

And shame on the guy who got a 15-year-old pregnant. Where is that guy?
