[quote=Anonymous]I've got mixed experiences. I remember growing up getting sick and throwing up in the middle of the night, and my mom reacting like I'd done something wrong. I'm sure it was just her tone, and that wasn't the actual case, but none the less, that's how it made me feel.

My mom also made comments here and there about my weight. Looking back I was far from fat, 5'9" 155lbs, but she always said "you'd look so great if you lost a few pounds". I have a DD and those words will NEVER come out of my mouth.

So pretty much it showed me how insensitive and selfish she could be. I was a pretty easy child, wasn't in trouble, didn't drink/smoke/etc, graduated with a 3.65 GPA, played sports, etc. I did have a questionable boyfriend for a few years, but learned my lesson (DH is awesome).

My parents also never taught me about money, pretty much just to save everything for much later, which meant the minute I went to college I burned through most of my savings. I was also raised Catholic, and we decided not to baptize DD as we're more Agnostic. She (my mother) took this as a personal attack and after telling me I was going to be a horrible mother and my child would go to hell, apologized and said she was going through menopause.

Sorry, I've steered away from the topic at hand :) [/quote]
