I have a daughter who is 15 months. My mom visited for Mother’s Day, and made several comments on her own weight, my weight (complementing my small weight loss) and my daughter’s eczema and cowlick.

My mom did a huge number on me growing up, contributing to a bunch of self-hate it took me years to unlearn.

How do I have the conversation with her about keeping her comments to herself, being body-neutral, and modeling a healthy body image without it turning into “OH SO I WAS JUST THE WORST PARENT RIGHT???? AND YOU’RE JUST SOOOOOO SMART”

I have a bunch of fake nails from my press-on era (now after having a baby my nails are much healthier) and as I was packing up some bridal stuff I considered adding them in. I put a “bride” hair clip in instead. I usually don’t throw in “extras” and I saw the post the other day about how the extras can be annoying.

So would you like getting free press ons, especially if they matched the outfit?

Edit: okay I’m glad I asked because the answer is a resounding “HELL NO”. I do think I’ll bundle them and see if I can sell them though! Thanks guys
