You are completely valid its very hard to get a job with the economy the way it is, and you are valid in being excited it feels like you can breathe after so long - most people have long periods of unemployment its not weird and it doesn’t reflect badly on you, congratulations None of us know your relationship with your mom, i would have also felt hurt and been offended by what she said, it wasnt kind, you might not even be overweight, but taking care of yourself is important
It’s just crazy to me how critical parents can be and people will write it off as “oh, they care about you”. Ok well your mom could’ve been like “wow, I’m so proud of you!” And left it at that and maybe if she really was GENUINELY worried about your health, she could’ve invited you to go to a cool workout class together, like it’s not that hard to be kind. Honestly, I have had to be straight up with my mom about the way she comes across even if her intentions are “good” because it is hurtful
Yes but she could have told her in a way of telling her she’s overweight that maybe going to gym would benefit her health. As a mother it’s your job not to make your child feel belittled. It’s your job to be honest and help them come up without a solution that’s not going to hurt them
