Am I being too sensitive about this?

[Deleted]

My mom had sent a group text to me and my sisters saying that my aunt's surgery had gone well. She had a breast reduction. I jokingly made a comment about how if I ever had extra money I would consider implants and I was jealous of boobs before.

My mom's response? She told me that if I ever do it then I should have them fix the bump on my nose as well.

I wasn't aware that I had a bump on my nose. But who the fuck says that to someone who is already self conscious about their appearance. Now I'm paranoid that other people feel the same way.

[wrathofkuus]

My eyebrows just shot to the heavens. Your mom is a straight up bitch.

[Deleted]

I would be hurt by that, too.

Really unnecessary comment, even in jest.

[montereybride]

That was really shitty of your mom! Omg!

[TrickyBob]

Well that was an assy comment for her to say.

I'm sure your nose looks just fine.

[bab]

Your mom is a real jerk. I am just in shock over her comment. Wow

[deanlicker78]

No that was really bitchy. I didn't know we have the same mother.

[sprky79]

Dude, I have seen your pics. You are straight up gorgeous. Your nose is fine. Tell your mom she must have imagined your nose being big in a dream or something.

[pantsparty]

Whaaaat? Is your mom normally like this?

Do you think there's a reason she's sensitive about this particular issue? Maybe your aunt has had a lot of pain and she thought you were making light of it, as in she didn't really need the surgery.

Anyway, weird! And mean!

[baconlettucetomato]

Um, wow. Yeah, I'd be upset too.

[RBL]

Wow, I would be annoyed.

[Jermys]

Dude, no way. You are fucking stunning!

[speckledfrog]

I literally made this face What an awful thing to say.

[cheesierthanchedda]

My mom has made very similar comments to me. I have a wide bridge on an otherwise petite nose, and she's reminded me of it since I was very young. Sometimes the comments are more like, "You have a nose for wearing glasses. Too bad you don't need them! LOL!" Hilarious, Mom.

No, unfortunately this is just how my mom is at times.

[flex]

You're not being overly sensitive--that was a very mean-spirited thing for her to say.

[ralphlauren]

You do not have a bump on your nose. Your mom was being rude. You are beautiful

[pantsparty]

Okay, then your mom's a jerk. Sorry

[interro]

What the hell? That is really bitchy and mean-spirited. Your mom gets a trophy for being an asshole today.

[eatsrainbows]

Wow, maybe she is deflecting and she needs a new nose?

[hubes]

Are you my sister?

I'm sorry your mom sucks.

[scotty]

That was an a-hole comment. A mother is never supposed to knock her kid down like that. Sh*tty.

[Robot Jen]

Aw, I'm sorry. My mom is so the same way. My sister and I kind of joke about it now when we see each other, but mom has ZERO filter and often says things like that.

[eb777888]

I would be really hurt.

This, 100%. I don't care what other people have to say about how I look, but the handful of critical things from my mom over the years have stuck with me.

I'm sorry that she said that. I don't know what you look like, but it doesn't matter. That was seriously uncool of your mom.

[malibu]

If she was trying to be funny, she failed miserably. That was just mean.

[kellbell191]

"yeah, it's a shame I got such crappy genes."

[Mrs.Beagle]

What a bitch.

[So_Fetch]

Your mom is obviously projecting her nose insecurities. That was a total snatch thing to say.

[mamasaurus]

I would have been all:
