Do small comments bother you?

My mother can repeat the same critique 10 times in a single conversation, then mention it every single day, then call me at home to repeat it 10 more times if I haven't switched over to her way. She's always been like this. She's anxious, control-freaky and has nothing better to do.

my mother is the same way, I avoid her as much as possible

Those you said would not bother me at all, wouldn't even notice them. Vicious nasty ones do. Told Fil teen dd had to see Dr because of a stomach issue...immediately comment was nasty about what is wrong with her. It bothered me and I told him that it is funny to see that not a single conversation can not go without him making a nasty comment about girls or women. It is how he said it, like he just caught the biggest juicy fish morsel to gossip. Not even is she ok, (issue might be a very serious bile thing and stomach issues run in his family!) or hope she feel better...nothing. Yes, is that is a small comment then I am pi**ed.

My mom also. It's also why I felt a sense of relief when she passed away. It's just the way some people act when anxiety combines with control tendencies.

People find out real quick not to make "small comments" around me. So no, they don't bother me.

No matter how hard I try to laugh it off, they irk me sooo much and lately I always respond back... which isnt fun, but bc I dont like them thinking they can just be rude/ignorant/whatever it is. Even on Thxgiving when I hosted a huge meal, my mom noticed the rolls I got werent Pillsbury (they were from Whole Foods) and she said "oh how could u not get pillsbury. u always should get pillsbury." Same day she said my DS' hair "is getting long. Someone needs a hair cut." Like no kidding!!!! You think I dont make my kids hair cut appts every month? Sorry I ran behind on that this week as I was prepping this meal for us all to eat. The list goes on and on- I cant imagine ever thinking to say half the things they say.

Wow
You are really sensitive

Nope. I just dont see the need to always critique others or bring up negative topics versus positive ones.

Noticing your kid needs a haircut which already said he did and if he didn't ....no, he likes it long oh my God everything somebody says or notices sent you rushing off to the therapist ? And if it Thanksgiving I'll she said was something about the rules just let it roll off your back no pun intended seriously mom I like this brand and keep it moving oh my God .

Nope, wrong again PP! Those comments irked me in the moment, as they are part of a larger picture aka annoying comments that are frequent. However I never gave them a thought beyond that moment. When I saw Op's post, it resonated with me, so I used those examples. It almost seems like my post to OP bothers you more than my moms comments bothered me. Strange!!
