but....
pimples?
i dont get it...
why?!?!?!
i mean..
they are not that bad...
and they are not really really big....
just small annoyance..
and plus...
they are not even pimples....
pimples hurts...
and mine does not...
well...
i mean...
i think i know why she does that...
since she spent so much on my appearience, why not go straight out to make my daughter beautiful?

Speaking as the mother of a young adult daughter, I can identify with your mother's urge to help improve your appearance -- or at least make changes that she thinks would improve your appearance. I find myself making those kinds of comments and suggestions to my daughter also and she sometimes lets me know how much it can bother her. Of course, I am not just the mother of a daugher as I used to be a daughter myself and I remember my mother making suggestions to me about my appearance that did not always go over too well either. There can be a fine line between trying to be helpful and making people too self conscious about their appearance -- and it is difficult to walk that line correctly all the time. When it bothers you, you may want to discuss that with your mother -- as my daughter does with me. While I cannot say that such a discussion ends the mother's urge, I can say that I think more about making these kinds of offers or suggestions now that I know it can bother her. Good luck.
