Yvonne asked:


I am really uncomfortable bra shopping with my mom. She will suggest a bra, and when I tell her that I don’t like it she will get all pissed at me. I wanna go bra shopping alone, because I will feel more comfortable that way. How do I tell her this?

    when you go shopping with a friend just be like hey mom can i have some money for new bras?
    victorias secret is having a sale, or [insert friends name here] has this really cute one and is going to help me find it. then your friend can just hang out while you shop. with love abby

    Well…you can either be straight forward about it and just say it, that you want to go alone

    Or, you can go shopping alone, and not mention ‘bra’ shopping. By them yourself, and put them away. ♫☆иєℓ♫☆

    Just tell her that you would feel more comfortable going on your own to look for a bra. Tell her you love her, but this is a very personal thing to you and that it is something that you feel very strong about. Your mum maybe a little hurt at first, but should understand that you need too be able to make your own decisions on these sort of things. Good luck. Jenny

    When you go shopping with a friend just ask her for some
    money and do it yourself. That’s what I always do especially
    because my friends are usually trying to get away from their
    moms too. elizabeth_irenex3

    Plan to go to the mall with your friends one day and just be like “Oh mom can i have a little extra money? I might pick up some bras while im at the mall.” That should be fine :) Caaayy

    The next time you go shopping, bring your own money and say, “I’m gonna do a little shopping.” Then go on your marry way :) Tell your mom you’ll meet her by the doors when it’s time to leave. Buy the bra’s..and yeah. Your mom will ask what you bought, and just come out and say it, or show her. Say, “I feel more comfortable buying bra’s on my own.” Or something similar.

    -VERSUS-
    Buying bra’s with your mom there is nothing to be uncomfortable about. I remember some of the first time’s I went bra shopping it was a little awkward, but you get used to it after a while. It’s not like she’s a total stranger. She understands, because she’s a woman to! We all need to buy new bra’s every now and then, no matter how old you are. She’s your mom, and when she gets pissed at you for saying that you don’t like it, point out WHY you don’t like it, and then hopefully she wont pick out those kinds..
    I kind of starting ranting, but I hope this makes some sort of sense….
    Good luck hun! Barreler

    Just go by yourself. If you have to ask her because you need her money, then maybe you should go and get a job before you get the privilege of shopping alone because at the moment it’s her money and so she can buy you whatever bra she wants. It may sound harsh but it’s true. Danielle
