Answer #1

your mum seems to be judging everyone else on her own morals. just because she thinks that way about others, she thinks that how other think about her (if that made sense, I know what I meant).

anyway, there’s not much you can do really, I am sure if this is the way she has always been then she’s unlikely to change, and although it may bug your dad, he’s probably learnt to live with it.

can I ask how her ‘enthusiasm’ of clothing interferes with you? just she make you wear particular clothes? or say stuff to you about what you wear (which is quite normal for parents to criticize their kids clothing).

but if she doesn’t actually make you do stuff, and she is just focusing all her efforts on her, then leave her be. as long as she’s not harming anyone, it’s really her problem. I appreciate it must be annoying living with a person like that, but she obviously has her own issue that must stem from somewhere…I think, if I were you, I would try a delve into when it all started, you might not be able to change her, but understanding why she is the way she is, may help make you cope with it better.

Answer #2

my mum say the out side materrs too but not as much as the inside tell your mom what you think and if she gets mad say I dont care to the inside materrs way more so you can thik what you thik and ill thik what think

Answer #3

Of course appearances matter. Other people will always form first impressions of you on how you look.

But that’s all they are. First impressions can change through talking to someone and getting to know them. That’s what really matters.

I’d tell your mom that her attitude is hurtful to you, and that you’re concerned about her. Nobody wants to hear “Your ideas are wrong, listen to mine”, but if you approach her with concern I’d like to think that she’d listen.
