I realized some people might not share my obsession with the sims....so here's a post about my issues I have with my mom.
....my mom drives me insane. I really hope I never become the person she is. I know that probably sounds horrible...and I'm thankful for things she's given me...but I feel like she holds everything she does for me over my head.
In college, I never wanted to accept money from her (my tuition was completely paid for through scholarships) because in the end, she'd find a way to be like "well, you could at least do this for me...after all, I gave you money so you could buy your school books."
She makes me want to beat my head against a wall.
Before I start this next story, I should explain that my mother is very short and very petite. She's bought pants that were a size zero before. I have never been particularly petite. Even when I was a size four, I had muscular legs and thought I was fat.
One time in college, I was home for summer, and I was in a bikini (had a towel wrapped around my waist). I was about to go outside to go swimming but my mom stopped me to talk to me about something. Well, she gestured that I needed to cover up 'the girls', and I told her "mom, I can't help it. They got bigger." (I had bought the suit a couple of years earlier I think). Well, she looks at me and says "That's what happens when you gain weight."
Who tells that to their kid?
She used to give me a 'look' if I got a second helping at dinner. It made me feel like an absolute whale. I sometimes wondered if she'd like it/me more if I was a skeleton because of an eating disorder.
It's sad really. I hope I never treat my kids like that. I just feel like there are other ways.
It's been a rough week. I hope hanging out with friends tomorrow gets me in a better mood.
