Do you have something to get off your chest?

I agree. It takes alot to stand up for yourself. I would say start small and call those people out. ask them what they mean by saying those hurtful things. you can find that it might be unintentional. Assert your value in the beginning of every interaction. example: i would like to have have a conversation that is respectful and loving. i want you get to know you better and you should meet the new me, she's great! I want you to understand where i am coning from when i say... hope this helps.

i feel that if children know what feels right and wrong; they are much more likely to understand how to stand up for themselves and avoid uncomfortable situations. kids have way more intuition than we give them credit for- they only have that gut feeling to rely on because that know nothing else.

@odi_odz Very true.

@odi_odz @EndBhee Good idea. Your mother should know what you like and what you don't want to eat. It's not a personal offence if you decline to eat things she's prepared although she knows that you don't like them.

Thankyou @odi_odz .. I've done this before .. and the bad news is I was kicked out of the kitchen, my mom doesn't like anyone else helping her to prepare food. for hers it is very disturbing. So, until now I always try to like whatever her cooks. I didn't complain, because it would hurt her.

What about trying to cook with her once in a while. This way you can have a say in how much is dished for you and you appreciate the work that goes into the cooking. bond with your mama too, its free

@odi_odz I will definitely try it.thank you

@odi_odz your recommendation worked thxx????

what works for me is to set an alarm and put your devise far from your bed. that way you have to get out of bed to turn it off . plus your out of bed anyways so you might as well start your day.:) hope that helps!
