My mom buys me clothes in size LARGE.
Okay, really my size is medium not large.
But just because I’m tall she thinks I’m automatically fat too.
I have told her that for presents I don’t want her to buy me clothes, I’d rather just have money so I can buy them myself.
Because it’s really making me sad that she thinks I’m a ******* fatty.
And all the clothes she buys are way too big, like the pants fall off.
Why she is doing this? :(

I’m glad that you have clothes to wear.
One day when you are entitled, old enough and you get your own money, you can do it youre self.
In the mean time, be happy, its really not the end of the world, not very bad, or even a negative invluence to you.
You are really lucky to have new clothes.
Thank youre mom, and tel her youre thoughts, if its not working, stick with it.
Regards
Yeah ofc I’m thankful that my family is wealthy.
I just don’t like that she think large is my size……..

Maybe you are in denial about your actual weight?
Sometimes, just because you can fit into something doesn’t mean it is your size.
I have seen some people on the larger side, wouldn’t say fat but because they have squished themselves into something smaller they actually do end up looking fat because everything is sticking out =/
If the clothes are in fact to big then put them on and go show your mum.
Get measured and tell her your waist size/leg size etc.
Tell her to get the measurements rather than going off the small/medium/large scale.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting to wear the right size of clothing, it doesn’t make you seem entitled. Your not asking for more clothes or more expensive clothes, just the right size of clothes. Have you pysically showed her the ridiculousness of the size of clothes she is buying for you? Are they literally falling off or are you just uncomfortable in them. You may have to wait until you need new clothes, but I think you should definitely speak up or write her a letter about it, sometimes that is more effective with some people, it forces them to actually hear everything you are trying to say.
how old are you? When my mum got me clothes she’d always buy 3 sizes up so i could ‘grow into them’ :P i think some of the dresses i wore when i was 7 would still be too big for me!! xx

I used to weight more so that might be why she thinks I still need bigger clothes.
But I don’t think im denial, my sister weights more than me (She is only a little bit taller so idk if we’re as skinny or if she is actually a little fatter) and my mom buys her medium.
And I get large, it’s like if she has decided that I’m fat and even if I were to lose 20 pounds she’d still think I needed large, it’s so annoying.
I can’t even wear the pants she gas given me, they fall off when I walk. :c
Today I got something from her for xmas ofc it was large lol, and It was way too big, I told her that it was too big and I wanted to return it, I think I might have hurt her feelings a little by I get really sad when she does this.

I showed her the size of some pants she had gotten for me, how big they were in the waist.
And her response was “Maybe you just need a belt for them” lol.

Maybe she thinks you are to thin and is buying bigger clothes for you to maybe encourage you to fill out a little?
How old are you anyway?
Do you not get to chose the clothes you wear?
I find that a little bit more bizarre than the fact your mum buys the size up.
Is it possible that she is buying them thinking you will just keep growing? Most likely you will grow up though, not out, so if this really bothers you and makes you look and feel uncomfortable, I think you should write her a letter. Be serious about it and tell her you would like a little more input on the clothes you wear. Some nicer places will measure you for free, you don’t necessarily have to purchase anything(I used to do this for a living).Find out from a pro what size you should be wearing, show your mom. I always use writing a letter as a last resort when Im trying to really communicate with someone and just can’t get through and it almost always works. Good Luck! : )
ugh.. i have EXACTLY the same problem.. talk to mum about it, tell her and really show why that size is too BIG
me too i am not fat and she buys me a plus i get so mad i go out looking like i am big but i am not i cry and she just says its will shrink
