one thing about mothers who treat their daughters like an extension of them is that they& #39;ll have a meltdown when the kid cuts all their hair off

i don& #39;t have any selfies from when i immediately cut all my hair off but this is maybe a few months post? my mom was sick to my stomach lmao

that behaviour does not end when you& #39;re grown btw, i was 19 here and 7 years later my mom still has an attitude about how i present myself

she& #39;s like i drag you because i love you, other people don& #39;t have the guts to do it. they& #39;ll just let you walk around ugly https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">

based on the replies it& #39;s interesting how this manifests across racial/ethnic lines. seems like black/brown moms are more aggy about length whereas white ones react to bleaching and dyeing more

narcissism and & #39;ownership& #39; will drive some parents to project their idealized self onto their child

once the child begins to form their own interests and realize bodily autonomy, parents feel like they& #39;re losing the reins of control -- thus meltdowns https://twitter.com/NashikaTamara/status/1283775907535171584?s=19">https://twitter.com/NashikaTa...
