Why oh why do our parents say things that are just so thoughtless and guaranteed to wind us up so??????
I was granted the absolute luxury of a day of total rest and plenty of sleep as my partner was off and he sorted the kids left me asleep,took the youngest to school then made me a cup of tea and went out to run some errands leaving me luxuriating in the knowledge of my truly wonderful day of nothing!!!
No such luck!!At 10 o'clock I was woken by the doorbell and it was my parents,who NEVER pop round without phoning first,so, in they come and I make them a coffee as my mum proceeds to nag me about wasting the day and telling me how I should make the effort to get showered and sort myself out!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it could just be that I am extra sensitive at the moment or that she didn't mean it how it sounded but it really got to me and I spent the whole day thinking that maybe she is right and I am just being lazy then I think how dare she talk to me like that and it really affected my day and THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!

That would have upset me as well.
I am so self conscious when I am not being "a functional member of society." Yet, how can we BE functional unless we take care of ourselves with days of luxuriating, etc.
I am happy to hear your partner is so intuned with your needs. Your parents .... sigh ... why do parents suck so much (as least mine ....).
I know they mean well. Supposedly.
Can you have Take Two and try to luxuriate tomorrow? :)
