I find my family rather judgmental. Everything I do gets commented upon. Often negatively. I'm almost 34, so I'm not a child. My parents and brothers seem to think it's perfectly okay to tell me my decisions are wrong, what I should be spending my money on, etc. I don't listen and make my own decisions, but I feel that it is affecting me, especially now I have my own child. Please note, I am
not in any financial difficulty and I am happily married!
I have told them all repeatedly that I don't want their negative judgment. It doesn't make any difference. They are all rather nice otherwise, however, I would never discuss anything of deep importance with them for fear of their judgment. Is this normal?
I live in another part of Europe and return close to my home town next month. My family are nice otherwise but this really does piss me off! Is this normal? I have only ever discussed this with my husband.
