    Many reasons


    I miss my family desperately, then after about 3 days, the comments start. As an example-last time I went home my Mom said to me 'I wish I had a waist like you Bunny, mind you, I never had an a$$ that big'

    What does "fat" mean to you? Does it mean "unhealthy"? Does it mean just "large", or does it mean "heavy" or does it mean "not hourglass shaped"?

    It means theres a baggy saggy wobbly area that I HATE :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Mothers. can't live with them can't kill them.

    how come they say stuff like that? my Mum's classic is (when I come down stairs ready to go out) oo you'll look nice when you have finished getting ready. or is your hair meant to look like that?

    and the all time fave "what did you buy that for?"
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Hey Bunny & Buffy - my Mum is worse- never ever told me I look nice - always critical and undermines me.

    Then, I get the Gospel According to Bunny's Mom on why I should never have left Canada, how evil i for depriving her of her grandchildren (although she's not been to visit in 3 years despite having 8 weeks off each summer!) and how wonderful my sister is. 'Look at how skinny amy is, look at what great boobs amy has' (I kid you not!)

    I will come home a quivering wreck.

    Ah...barbed compliments...

    Sounds like your mother is jealous of you and has a hard time controlling that.
