OK, a while ago my mum starting doing these pyschic mind-body-and-spirit type courses. At first I thought it was cool, because that kind of stuff was one of my earlier obsessions. But now she's just pissing me off SO MUCH, because she's being really preachy, assuming that me and my brother believe it too just because she does (I did, but that's beside the point). And if I have a serious problem, she comes out with this BS about how it's caused by negative thinking and if I think more positively it will all go away, which is total crap because pretending things don't suck when they very clearly do is obviously not healthy, nor will it solve anything!! According to her, the recession was caused by negativity. Yeah right.
She recently went on one of those diets where you just have special shakes instead of real food, which I have read about and they aren't good for you. But she won't listen, apparently because it's called a DETOX diet it must be healthy. (Never mind the fact that some types of detox involves drinking poisonous herb juices until you throw up for weeks to "get rid of the toxins". Detoxes are BS.) And then, after this atrocity against food in general, she just came back saying that from now on, we only eat wholemeal pasta!!
I have tried wholemeal pasta, it is pseudo-food. I love white pasta, I will not give it up for her stupid fad diets! And as I pointed out to her, wholemeal pasta doesn't have the same Italianness that real pasta does. So, cos I was watching Friends at the time, I was all, "Do you think Joey eats wholemeal pasta?!" and then she says he's not even Italian...ok, never mind that part, that's all a bit irrelevant. But anyway, I am nearly 14 years old, my health should be in my own hands by now. Since when is PASTA unhealthy, for crying out loud?!
Anyway, this isn't really about the pasta, it's the whole preachiness thing. WHY does she think I seriously want to hear about how angels helped her get back together with her boyfriend?! She KNOWS what I think about that man.
She gets annoyed when I talk about my obsessions, so why should I have to hear about hers?!
EDIT as afterthought: she also keeps saying stuff about when her father joined the clergy and started making her and her sister act all Christian. Yet here she is, doing the exact same thing to me and my brother, the only difference is which religion.
