Especially about my we...my mum is the same as well. Especially about my weight just now.. She even sent me a bunch of stuff from magazines including soup recipes, articles on Diabetes, articles on losing weight, and "Bachs Emotional Eating Kit" just written on a bit of paper. lol That was just what I needed to find on my doormat after a long day at work. I know she just worries but goes about in a way that just gets my back up. Maybe its all those years when we are kids when our parents just tell us whats what, whether its what we want to hear or not, & they struggle to get out of that parent mode.. Its blooming annoying though! you have my sympathyHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840493004216558684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-14198224814434536982010-10-30T10:28:33.784+01:002010-10-30T10:28:33.784+01:00Wish words Jo and I hope I'm the type of mum y...Wish words Jo and I hope I'm the type of mum you wish yours was.Fay aka Beautifullilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068381369052185971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-83567857766506948752010-10-30T09:11:57.730+01:002010-10-30T09:11:57.730+01:00thanx for the love, i have tried over the years, y...thanx for the love, i have tried over the years, yawn, to get her out of this mindset but it just doesnt work at all unfortunately. i just needed a rant, so thanx for listening.<br />Jo xxxxJO SOWERBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971265183462096123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-44897307846234168632010-10-29T23:03:10.782+01:002010-10-29T23:03:10.782+01:00I do feel for you, really I do .. sometimes I thin...I do feel for you, really I do .. sometimes I think it's their way of keeping you as always the daughter, and never the grown up.

Mine...Waves of sympathy and understanding ~~~~~~~~~<br />Mine is Exactly The Same! On Wednesday we went to visit; I was telling her all about our trip to London and mentioned the stop for coffee and cake. Her comment? "Well, that'll put the weight on you." She does it every time. My BF once commented, "Your mum's nice to everyone - except you." Sometimes it can be hard to like her... <br />She does love you though. So does mine... I suppose that is the problem really - they love us and so much want us to be happy.. that they can't put themselves in our shoes and see the world our way. So they seem to be always criticising, when really they're just trying to care. <br />Try saying that you found a remark hurtful. Say it immediately she has made the remark and tell her why. Say, I would love it if you'd try to be more positive - I'm happy with myself, and I would like it if you could be too. <br />She'll probably be shocked. She may do that "don't speak to your mother that way" thing.. but ultimately it may well bring about an improvement - it should at least make her think a bit and bring her up short. We are grown up now; our mothers have to let us Be grown ups! <br />You hair looks nice in any photos I've seen. Perhaps it would be a good plan to ask a friend for help with hair-washing, for the first week or two after you come home? You may find stuff like that a bit tricky for a little while. Maybe that's why your mum suggested a hair-cut - it's a wrong-way-round way of saying she cares...Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.com
