[quote=Anonymous]My mom had really good taste.  She took my sisters and I shopping for prom dresses and would let us have whatever dress she thought looked best. And then we’d go home and model them for dad to get him to overlook the cost. She’d also make me wear my sisters’ shoes even though they were a size too small because she didn’t like acknowledging the size of my feet.  Bad enough I was a dress size bigger too.   Maybe if she’d spent less on a personal shopper I would have had shoes that fit.  But she always looked beautiful. And I did too! Even if I didn’t look happy. Heroine chic was a look in the 90s so it worked out.  All of the fashion magazines piled up on the coffee table affirmed that my image was much more important than my feelings.  When I look back at the photos with her she always tells me how pretty I WAS then.  Never mind that my smile never reaches my eyes in those photos.   I cherish my smile lines now in middle age.  She thinks I need Botox of course.

Sorry this isn’t the story a PP wants to hear.  Some of us didn’t have nice mothers and this is a tough time of year for us.  I hate Mother’s Day.[/quote]
