Life isn't what it seems

This may be too simple of an idea just to give you an example that life isn't what it seems but here it is. Earlier I asked the canteen lady for a bottle of water, but the surrounding was loud she thought I was asking for a soft drink... So she gave me one and I just accepted it. I didn't bother since there was lots of people in line.

Later that day, I went home and my mom saw the soft drink on my table. She asked, "Why are you buying soft drinks again it's unhealthy". This is a common misconception from her that I always eat junk foods at school because I prefer eating my food at home. Sometimes I just eat snacks at school because I'm not comfortable eating around many people yet. And because of that, she believed that everything I will ever do is treat myself badly with foods.

But did it ever cross her mind that people can change?
I already said to her that next year I'll change my eating habits and that I stick to my words. But it doesn't really stop her from worrying about my health and I just start to feel offended because life is a constant change and that's what I'm going through right now... Life is a CoNstAnt ChAnGeee~~ So maybe she'll change when I change :33


P.S. I love my mom

1. thing to be aware of is that a good mom will always feel a need to perfect her child or children.

2. It's not necessary to practice a bad habit for her to over worry about you sliding into one because of one single observation.

3. It's not really worth it to dwell on her being so overprotective but saying thanks for the reminder I was just teasing myself or treating or testing myself just to make sure I don't want yada ya or whatever, soda in this case, like I used to. It was the first one in weeks or time in months e.t.c.

It can help shut down the criticism and maybe even garner a compliment.

[Parents; we don't always realize that positive reinforcement works far better than negative criticism, but it helps not to alienate our kids. ]

It just take once to make the first perception in mind, but it takes ages & efforts to change that perception.

Best Wishes :)
You'll have to regain her trust then. 🤷🏼‍♀️
