Mom is being hypocritical about clothing
For background, I’m 16f and I have a pretty conservative family. I wasn’t really allowed to wear shorts after the age of 11 and don’t even wear them in the house. My mom has always been the strict one when it comes to clothing but now I’m honestly getting tired of this. She gets all upset when I wear anything remotely tight, or wear shorts or tanks TO BEDDD even though I have my own room and don’t wear them out of my room.
Recently, she’s started to wear shorts around the house which she’s never really done before. And she wears them all the time. They aren’t short short but above the knee.
Anyways, I was talking about how I want to buy this specific tank top because it doesn’t require me to wear a bra underneath. I’ve been wanting to buy this top for a while just for me to wear under my clothes or to bed since again, no bra needed.
She absolutely explodes when she hears this. And this isn’t new. I obviously wear tight clothes around the house still (they are just well fitting clothes that are my size but tight to her standards) because I honestly don’t really care that much that she gets mad.
The only reason I even told her about wanting to buy this tank was because I didn’t want her making a scene in the store which she does a lot too. Another thing I should mention is that she thinks that embarrassing her kids is really funny. So she’ll yell at us in front of our friends, cousins, ir really anyone in general.
I just feel like she’s being really hypocritical since she can walk around the house with shorts on, tight clothes but when I want to it’s a big deal. Another example I want to mention is leggings. I’m not allowed to wear leggings with shirts that are too small because my butt will show. She on the other hand can walk around with leggings and a short tee that is tight and it’s fine.
I really don’t know how to explain these double standards she has without her exploding. Any help would be appreciated honestly atp.
