To ask my Mum to STOP mentioning my face blemishes??

[NCForNow]

I have a mild skin condition which is rare and VERY hard to cure. I have seen a specialist about it twice. He's happy the blemishes are what they are and they are not cancerous...

its a little bit of a pain....I cover them with makeup sometimes...think mild acne across the bridge of my cheeks...not on nose...just a little either side.

My Mum however keeps saying "Are you going back to the doctor about that?"

And I just got annoyed with her.

It makes me feel worse about them...as if they're that hideous she can't bear it!
I've kind of gotten used to them...they're not that disfiguring, they're not dangerous and the only thing we can try next is laser therapy and really...I just can't be bothered at the minute.

I got cross and said stop telling me to go to the bloody doctors! I've been! I don't want it bringing up all the time and it's my birthday today!

And she said "You're not 12 you're 40" and I said EXACTLY so leave it alone!

AIBU? I think she's being insensitive! And she said "As your Mother I have the right to say things like that."

1. Tell her the doctor can't do anything more
2. Tell her you are quite happy with the way you look
3. Ask her why it bothers her so much
4. Find something she's self-concious about that you can continually mention

Your mum is your mum, i think shes just looking out for you. My mum does it if ive not washed my hair or i look a bit rough. She always points it out, so i make sure if my mum ever looks rough i tell her the same thing
Could you not take her to the docs with you to prove theres nothing they can do? that might keep her quiet......for a bit at least

Thanks NannyOgg....That's a very good idea. I think I will tell her I have been again and he said that it just as to play itself out...which it CAN do apparently...it can just bugger off after a couple of years.

I don't moan about it or anything..I KNOW it' marrs me a bit but really..I don't care! I've reached a place in myself where the outside matters less than the in!

God no Rock! I'm not taking her with me! She's a right pain in the bum and the doc will be like when I roll up with my Mum in tow!

I'm shocked at "As your Mother I have the right to say things like that."

She sounds like my Mum when I was a young teen. She was always nagging me about washing my face properly, and practically pinning me down to squeeze my spots . She died when I was 17, so I think you're lucky you still have someone to worry about you at your age. Just smile and nod!

Me too! She said that I reckon because she's been thinking up some stupid phrase she can come out with when I dare to stand up to her. She's lovely honestly..very generous and kind...but she DOES have a thing about being allowed to say what she thinks.

I know namechange I know. I feel bad in a way...because I got upset it upset her a bit.

Aw fair enough well she'll just have to take your word for it then. If it doesnt bother you i shouldnt bother her, but i think shes just a bit worried about it

She needs to listen though rock....they're not dangerous. She shouldn't be so bloody shallow.

I know but mums say these things, it would be totally different if it was someone else saying it, but by the sounds of it shes not bothered about the way they look just if they're affecting her daughters health.

How about 'Mother please piss off and mind your own beeswax'.
