Over critical mother.
Is it any wonder i have frigging self esteem issues?
Yesterday in the car, i pointed out to her that my skin (for once) was looking REALLY clear. Her response to that was "Are you wearing a lot of make-up then?". That fact of the matter was, ALL i had on my face was a bit of powder, nothing else, but she finds is near on impossible to EVER say i look nice.
Today, i get "You're hair is looking untidy and really messy these days." Oh dear God. My hair was tied back and a few bits had fallen out of the sides...nothing major, but mum clearly didn't approve!!!! Also, on the way we were talking about my sister and she has problematic skin too and mother said "You definitely don't get bad skin from me!"
Driving back from hers, she couldn't have moaned at my driving any more than she did. CONSTANT pick, pick, picking. At one point i did turn round and say "No wonder i am mental", and from there she didn't talk to me anymore. Typical mother.
ARGGGHHH!

Worst of it is that as soon as you answer back they treat you as if you're ten years old again, or get totally offended because you've just stuck up for yourself. You can't win.

Maybe say something back to her next time, see if she takes offence and then explain thats how she makes you feel. Or simply just tell her she upsets you (Im hoping she just doesnt realise)
