my mom and my job

i work at a retail store and usually do 9 hour shifts, so i’m on my feet for 8 hours of the day and usually doing a lot of shit. like today i did moves so we moved a ton of clothes and shelving and everything like that, and i did shipment as well.

what annoys me is that if i come home and say im sore, my mom will always comment on ‘how i need to be more active’ and it annoys me so much. i dont know why it does but i just feel like doing what i do at work, its normal to be sore i guess. like i dont understand why she feels the need to make a comment on me being active when i’ve been doing physical labor for 8 hours straight. and one of the places im usually sore is my back which i have problems with outside of work. and my mom works from home on the couch all day, and my dad does the same for half the week.

and i also get bothered by the fact when i talk about the amount i work my parents will make light of it. ofc i know it could be worse, especially as a college student, but im working about 32 hours this week and they’re all 9 hours. im the only one of my siblings that has a job and has good grades. my parents said i dont have to work but i do to help them out a little by not sending me money or pay for my parking.

i dont know why it bothers me so much and i know it’s probably stupid but i wish she didn’t have to make those fucking comments. like she has comments for everything and i get so tired of it. like why can’t she just take it at face value.
