Tuning out my mother sometimes

[Anonymous]

Ok, I love, love my mother. She is my best friend. However, I find I'm withholding info from her because I'm really tired of hearing negative comments. First, she hates long hair. I was not allowed to have long hair as a child b/c she did not want to care for it. My DD has long hair and my mother constantly tells me how bad she looks. She even tried to take DD to get her hair cut off short. DD is 6 and basically told my mother no way and came and got me. DS has food related issues (sensory issues with texture, branding, color etc). We are working with someone on this and I constantly get comments about how disappointed she is at what I let my DS eat. It seems she would rather see him get a G-tube and have his nutrition poured into him. Sometimes I wonder how in the world I grew up normal. That's it. Vent over.
