Question Posted Tuesday December 12 2006, 10:46 pm
This in regard to my mom and the jewelry and the purses. I feel if she asks me "how many necks to I have" or "You know they will have different styles next year" that she is criticizing me for buying as many as I do. And she only does this when I bring up the subject of the jewelry, or purses. All my friends tell me I am reading into her remarks and all she is doing is either teasing me or making conversation. What do you think - do you agree with my friends?

Secondly, I don't think your mom talking about the amount of money you spend should ever stop you from having a great relationship with her. Thirdly, and maybe the most outrageous, she may be right! I know, this is highly unlikely, but let's be truthful, most of the time our parents are right! I know it's a scary thought, yet still one to ponder.

Moms are like that.
Mine critiscizes me because I like anime, and because I often say silly things. She also has her own special way of making me feel like the fattest, ugliest, most stupid girl on the planet.
Just talk to her about it. I know it's hard, but it's something you've gotta go. A lot of times people don't realize what they say is hurtful. I got my mom to stop saying certain things.
There are still some things she says that really bother me, though, and I've learned to put up with that. Really, that's how moms are...
