[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom just said that to my kids on FaceTime, in reference to the fact that I cannot do crafts/art/sewing.

I know this was “joking,” and stupid. But how about I can cook, I’m a good mom, I keep a nice house, I bring in six figures, I’m a good co-worker, I’m a good friend, I’m a good daughter?

I feel pretty worthless.[/quote]

And if you were a terrible cook, had a messy house, and made $30k/year you STILL wouldn't be worthless.

What do you think makes a human being worthy? You are worth something just for being alive and doing your best in this world. You are worth something just for being you. [/quote]

Yes! Exactly. And your mom should be the first person to recognize this -- I view this as part of my job as a mother, to always see the inherent worthiness of my children, to be loved.

But my mom is the same way, she says stuff like this all the time. If I called her on it, she's roll her eyes and say I'm being oversensitive. But deep down I think she knows.[/quote]
