[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else have a parent who does this? For example, if my mother is visiting while kids are doing homework, she will tell them about how I got very bad grader for a period of time or never even bothered to open my books. Then elaborated that I struggled with leaning and had to work harder than my brother did. I’m the one in the family with a Phd, my brother flunked out of grad school.  Other times, it’s about how I was a bad cook and didn’t know how to use an oven until I was married blah, blah. I could go on and on. Same thing happens when I receive a compliment from someone. If my mom is present she adds something she feels is embarrassing or reminds me that I was a very difficult kid.

I’m beginning to see that it’s pretty sad I’ve put up with this for so long.

No. I have never heard this. Your family life sound very messed up. You should explore this further in therapy. Come back and tell us if it is a SES thing, a race thing, a divorced parents thing, a did-not-go-to-college thing. Tell us just what this is because I have never heard and seen this before.
