Yesterday my mom caught me off guard. I've had my toes polished for a long time and she told me that it doesn't make or break it with her for being a woman. Then she pointed out that there are three other women in the house and they don't bother polishing their nails, so why is it so important to me.
Seems like your mother has lots of issues with anything that you do, tell her you enjoy doing that and that you don't have to be a robot and be like the rest of the girls in the house lol
Unfortunately she does have a lot of issues with what I do, and I may just tell her that and what you said. ;D
