Slightly Mental

ass+you+me

I’m so sick of these stupid assumptions people make about me and they way my mum tries to portray me in front of other people. There have been two examples of this weekend.

My mum’s friend came over last last for dinner. We were talking about my sister, while I was there. Out of nowhere she said ” I can see Emma being more fun than Lauren. Like wanting to go out and do stuff.”

Fucking hell.

Apparently being home on a Saturday night makes me a middle aged librarian with no social life. I don’t like being bored. It happens a lot, i must admit, because it just so happens that I’m the kind of person who can’t sit still for more than five minutes unless something good is on TV.

Then today we were at the shops and a guy from school was at the counter. Mum bought some beer and asked this guy if it was any good, knowing very well that I knew him. When he says he’s 16 so he doesn’t know my mum just says:

” Well, you know, Lauren’s had lots of different beers and alcohol, haven’t you?”

Oh, good. Now I’m an alcoholic librarian.

Apperently she wanted to make me appear cool in fromt of the guy at the counter. It is not fucking cool to have your mother brag about your drinking habits. She doesn’t stuff like this all the time. Can’t I just be myself without her telling me and others what I am or who am. She knows nothing.

And I”m fucking sick of her talk about weight loss like it’s all a subtle hint.

“This soup has no point value”

“isn’t this better than full fat food”

“this is very healthy”

Oooh, did you hear that mum?

Could it be the sound of my self-esteem being crushed?
