Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text

A text to the wrong person or containing subject matter that was not intended for the respective audience.
I sent an invitation for a date to my baby momma instead of my boo. I thought I was asking my boo about going to Applebees to get that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake and then I realized it was the baby momma and immediately realized I sent the wrong text to the wrong person and wrote Ohhh Not Good (ONG) text. She knew what I did and asked for the child support money.

Mom that is not good at parenting

threatens to beat you, will yell at you if you say "i dont know" but sometimes tells you to say it, looks for things in your room to have a ascuse to scream at you, says they never tell lies (but lie about everything), gets so drunk to the point where they almost sleep with you for a whole night, will loose the things they take away from you and not give a shit about it (can be lost for even 4 months), gives you deppression and axiety but since she "knows everything" she just gives you pills, if you talk back at all she'll treat you like shit (dont forget she reminds you about it everyday), and thats not even a start.
