Today, I spent my first day with my parents for the first time in a year as I've been away at university. My dad went to work, and my mum spent the whole day playing mahjong with her friends as they all told me "how fat I've gotten" and how "boys won't like it". FML

I can see your dad having to work as a valuable excuse. However, your mom going hanging out with her friends all day is just plain rude. Sorry OP, hopefully your week gets better :)

Sounds like they have got used to having their own lives again.

Tell them I can lose weight but it seems you all can't lose your rudeness!

disown them you don't deserve to be treated like that.

don't return home next year. don't return home ever. to hell with them! focus on your education and move on with your life.

I am sorry OP, that really sucks. If it helps, you aren't alone, a lot of other people are treated the same way by parents and told they are fat and they won't be able to get a date. It is horrible. Take care and be good to yourself OP.

Well, what did you expect (about your father at least). Your parents have their own lives to live as well and just because he has to work does in no way reflect his feeling toward you (plus... how else is he going to earn the money to pay for your college and life expenses). As for your mother, her keeping her schedule with her friends is totally normal. You can't expect her to totally drop everything just because you are back for the next few months during summer break. As for her (and her friends insults) -- well that is uncalled for and just plain rude... so you have my sympathies.

If it's the first day in a year for your parents to see you, and this date is known well ahead, it is more than reasonable to expect them to make time for you. That doesn't mean they have to "drop everything" for the whole summer, but if you haven't seen your child in a year, you normally would want to spend a little time with them to hear about the experiences they've had, and just to generally catch up. As for the dad working, that's not unreasonable, but if the mom wasnt working, that behavior is kind of rude and signals that she doesn't really care about her daughter that much. Aside from that, those comments were rude and unnecessary, and the mom shouldn't have tolerated her friends berating her daughter like that.

Leave immediately. You don't have to take their abuse, and maybe, just maybe they will feel some shame.

Awww don't let them get to you. Those kind of people say awful things to make themselves feel better. You just go about your life and make yourself proud. Don't mind them.
