[quote=Anonymous]My own mother wasn't quite this extreme, but growing up was very similar - very high expectations of performance in anything I choice to do and very concerned about how I looked going out, but mostly when we were visiting family. Her upbringing has a lot to do with it (Iranian) and she's mellowed out a bit as she's gotten older at least. But still cares about weight, makeup, etc. Talk with your mom. Tell her that her intense focus led to a lot of issues with you growing up. "I didn't notice!" is what my mom said, to which I responded that that was WHY I was telling her. Does your mother also play the comparison game? She did that with me and other people's kids a lot and that is the one I need to be on the look out for with our kids (having our first soon). I like PP who says to have a talk with your kids, explaining that grandma's words are not to be taken at face value.[/quote]
