My mom is the woman i do not want to be.

My first day home from the hospital, i went to go pick up my daughter from my moms place, and one of the first things my mom says to me is "jeez, you just keep getting bigger and bigger. One of your thighs is about the size of two of my thighs put together." I immediately said "i just gave birth! Why would you say that to me?"

I will never forget how she would talk down about my weight in high school, and looking back at pictures of myself back then, i was not big at all. I was a normal size i guess you could say, and i was healthy. But my mom always made me feel like i was bigger than i was.

She constantly criticizes me as a mother, and points out how i parent my children, and just nitpicks everything i do. It is so exhausting to hear and deal with all the negative things she says. She thrives off of it and i wish she wasnt this way. Even when she was visiting me and the kids today, she kept talking about how big i've gotten.

Also, she loves stealing things. She took an 80 year old mans' phome from a casino. She found it and instead of returning it, she took it. There was an instant when inwas younger at her friends jewelry shop where she took her friends new iphome 8 at the time, and i had to yell at her as a kid to give it back. There was an instance where a car accidentally backed into us very slightly and she told me to lie and say my neck and head hurt when the people were checking on us. I told her no bevause it was ridiculous and she got all dramatic and said well if you need to go to a hospital im not gonna bring your ass. This woman is just crazy and it blows my mind she never thinks to set a good example for me even when i was younger. It sucks that i have a mom who never showed me what it means to work hard because she got the golden ticket to come to america and basically said fuck it and lives off the state without ever working a job, ever. It blows my mind i have a mother who tells me i cant go back to school to pursue further education because im a young mom of two. Why do i have to have a mom like this?
