Tell her that you are an adult and you buy your own clothes.

Welp.. sounds like a thread for /fa/ to handle. What exactly do you enjoy wearing?

>>18102296
I already have Anon. She even drags my husband into it trying to get him to get me to dress how she wants. The only thing that works that gets accross to her is me being mean to her but that is only a temporary stop.

Stop inviting her over if she won't/can't respect your lifestyle choices

My mom wants me to dress like this

>>18102310
She invites herself over. I am very close with my dad but hes unsure what to do about her either.

My fianceé's mum does the same to her, they're not rich though, I think it's just a mum thing. Personally, when I see it happening, I know it's making my other half uncomfortable, but I also see a sort of desperation in her mum to try and connect and to be, I guess, friends with her daughter. Their relationship is kind of rocky at the best of times, her mum being kind of explosive temperamentally - though she does have a high stress job.

OP, I know it's exasperating, but I feel your mum may not be trying to smother your individualism, but actually, just doesn't know how to connect with you, and just uses fashion as it's what normally works with most other women.

Talk to your partner, see what he says - after all, lot of the time, distance is the only way of getting clear perspective. Then, have an honest talk with your mum, it sounds as though there are things that aren't being said between the two of you. If things work out, try to find some commonality, something you can share between the two of you - it might improve your relationship with your mum a lot. You don't have to fall back into the role of emotional punching bag.

Thank you Anon I will try I am more of a tomboy so I have no interest in clothing. The only hobby my mom has is shopping sadly I have tried to get her into different hobbies but she does not like anything really. I have asked her what she liked as a kid and teenager too and she always tells me that she only likes to shop. I will go with her to make her happy but all it does is cause me to be frustrated because she spends money like its water and has never worked a day in her life.

I can appreciate that you're two very different people. You're interested in the outdoors though, and as a consumerist pig your mum likes pretty things, so why not try going to a botanic garden, flower show or something similar, maybe a gallery if she appreciate art?

These are just ideas though, I might be biased as I'm a gardener myself. Garden shows in my country (UK) tend to be filled with upper middle class old ladies, and I get good conversations out of them simply through the shared passion of plants.

I see, seems like a normal way to dress for a lady. I'm a guy, 31, I like girls who dress kinda country, but in a reserved old fashioned way. I was smitten with a girl recently who wore these black dress lants and a long sleave black shirt with red flowers on it, had on cowgirl boots. The way she was + the way she dressed had me crushing.

Your mom probably loved dressing you up as a kid, and felt maybe that was a big part of bonding between you too(?) Like a girl bonding thing maybe (?)

Tell your mother that you converted to Islam. Wear a full length burka whenever she visits.

Tell her that you respect her, but to wear such clothing would be a sin against Allah.

>>18102366

as someone else has said, this is probably a mum thing. Mine, while not actually buying me stuff, always tells me when she saw something that would fit me. For birthdays/christmas she buys me stuff even when explicitly asked not to do so. And I'm male.

In my view, these are roughly equally fancy/trying-to-be-sexy, just a different kind. When you said you live in the woods, I expected something plain and functional, almost outdoor tier. Like a decent pair of Lowa shoes.

A possible explanaition is that your mother sees stuff she cannot wear for whatever reason, still wants to buy it, so she buys it and gives it to you. Or she likes dressing up puppets and you are her victim. Like, this is not benevolent behavior, she does it for her sake and not for yours.
An option is to refuse the clothes, and if she insists on not taking them back, you send it back to her as a packet with no comment. If she brings it back, declare that any further clothing she gives you unasked will imediately be put on ebay or donated to a good cause (there are plenty of organisations who wil take your clothes to send them to people who actually need them).
Maybe you could also begin to gift random shit to her that she clearly won't appreciate. Like a chainsaw.
Gift her a mannequin next christmas.

>I am a pagan

white trash confirmed.

Goddamn. I'm sorry OP, this is the worst situation to be in - by the sounds of it your mum has been allowed to fester in a state of long term arrested development, where she's never needed nor wanted to develop any sense of intellectual curiosity about the world around her.

This might require a long-term rehabilitation programme to get your mum some actual hobbies and interests - basically turning her into a real person, rather than a 2D cardboard cutout of one. For that one, I don't have much advise, all I can say is that it would be in both of your best interests, particularly for staving off old-age neurological problems like dementia and Alzheimers.

Just take that stuff and do your own thing after she's gone.

Thank me later

>>18102289
Take the fucking clothes and let your mom do something nice once in a while, how is that hurting you? Fucks sake.

just say no.

if she argues say no.

if she continues to argue say 'goodbye'

she'll get the picture.

Wear steel toes outside as well as gloves when needed I have none of my skin showing. Pic posted is my longue wear around the house. I am not going wear something like that while hiking or wood working but I did not think I needed to point that out Anon.
