What do you think ? All opinions welcomed
I texted this to my parents. I was coming from a stern approach to my message. Is this text was I really that mean ?
“ I’m 28 years old and I’m a mom now. I’m not a kid. You guys need to stop commenting on my body , what I wear etc. it especially makes me uncomfortable when * step dads name * mentioned seeing my underwear when I walked away getting ready for the wedding and my baby shower when in reality I asked multiple people if they saw my underwear when I was sitting down , no one did. It makes * step dad’s name * look like a creepy old man and mom it’s really annoying how you don’t see me as an adult. I’m a grown woman now. I do not need anyone who’s not * boyfriend’s name * commenting about my body. Please do not let it happen again. “
The step dad told me not to text him anymore but if I’m being honest he never texts me back anyways so that doesn’t make much of a difference.
My mom thinks I think of them as punching bags and that I was rude.
I gave her a small list of what she’s done to me, that’s rude. I don’t think me telling them to stop commenting me on MY body when I’m almost 30 is a bad thing. I don’t live with them. They didn’t come into my life until this year when i found out I was pregnant in February. My daughter is almost a month old. I’ve gotten more texts from them than I ever had in my entire life. That’s pretty sad in my eyes.
You weren’t rude you had a very mature response and was standing up for yourself. Even if they are your parents they still need to respect you. Respect is earned. Your step dad was offended cuz you are right it is creepy if my step dad ever commented on my underwear I wouldn’t be comfortable around him. I’m so sorry that you have parents like that. No one ever needs to comment on ANYONES body no matter their age.
