To not want to be told I'm letting myself go?

[GEM33]

Have 20 month dd. never slept through the night yet. Still breast feeding sometimes every hour throughh the night. had v bad post nat.al depression. Used to be a size ten gym bunny now size 18 not lost baby weight. Work 30 hours a week do not have help other than dh. Work 10- 15 hour shifts. Struggling with life at moment.

Out of the blue had text from mother. "I'm telling you this because I love you, you are letting yourself go and I wish you would do something about it"

I'm deeply hurt. Mother knows I'm very weight conscious. Confirmed she does specifically mean my weight. She knows I'm struggling with everything else at the moment. It just feels like a kick in the teeth when I'm down..

That was a terrible thing to say to you, no excuse for it! I'm glad you called her on it, but her defense was really complete bullshit. Here, send her this in response:

"When I ask you if you'll be coming to watch DD so I can go to the gym, you say I can do what the hell I like, your intentions are good. So that means you'll be coming to watch DD tomorrow a.m? 10 sharp please. Oh ... you won't be coming? So your intentions aren't good after all then are they?"

Ps. Don't let her make you feel bad -- if you have a sad moment about it, read back over what JohFlow said again x.
