Some things I can't deal with
Today my mother told me, out of nowhere, that TO looks better than me. Seeing as that's something I would be proud of, I didn't think much of it. (Although it adds to my insecure personality.) However, she continued to add that my younger sister looks better than me. Then, as if that didn't send me straight to self-esteem-problem-land, she said that my sister's boyfriend is also better looking than me.I'm never going to have a problem with being Narcissistic from now on for sure.
Even though I don't expect my mother to be perfect, that's some weird parenting skills right there. I'm not sure I like her much right now.
Oh wait! She said I have "the brains". Great! That reeeaaally helps.

your mom sounds like mine when she tells me i look fat, only without the whole but you're still beautiful make up line.
All mothers in a sense do this to their daughters. I roll my eyes at mine when she tells me i look fat and grab her belly. She starts laughing.
The funny thing is when I lose weight, she gets overly concerned and asks me if i'm not eating. When she came here I had lost about 5 pounds and she loaded my fridge up with enough food that it took me 2 months to eat.
The funny thing is my mother has a weird love hate relationship with my looks. She's convinced I'm the prettiest girl in our area, yet if there is any fluctuation she is quick to point it out: i.e. the you're fa/you're sickly scenario.
meh.
So.... the "is she hot" line would be bad here, right?
I don't get that from my mom. I get comments about my muscles. Except not lately, because I'm shedding muscle mass from not lifting. My sisters like to make fun of the way I dress, and my hair, and that sort of thing, but the last time it came up I was actually told I was pretty hot. I don't think of myself as hot, or not, but pretty average, aside from the furriness, the shortness, and the getting fat-ness, which I intend to address. Bottom line, who gives a shit? What you can change, change. What you can't change, learn to live with.
It could be worse. You could be fugly.
i just got off the phone with my sister (who's having similar issues). it's exhausting, especially if you're living with it.
on a completely immature note, did TO give you a birthday kiss? () :-)
I think I have a good handle on my mom's criticism of me when it pertains to words like "fat", "short", "pig", and "lazy". I just really couldn't anticipate being pitted right up against my own sister. That one hurt.
That's my mom! Always new surprises. Not always good.
TO did give me a birthday kiss. He's being very supportive and sweet about my sudden "I'm ugly" complex. It's really wonderful of him, but I really should regain my self-esteem soon. This can't be attractive.
Haha, G-hero, you were making an "Is she hot?" at my sister?!?! That's bad. Tsk! Tsk!
