Family jabs
There’s nothing like taking a trip back home and being confronted on how good you look or how good you don’t look. "Is it my imagination or is your ass not as firm and as small as it was last time?" LOL. Asked my little sister who is 20 lbs. or so heavier from the last time I saw her. Of course, I did not mention the 20 lbs. when it came to her rear. Some things, there’s just no denying it and there’s no need for it to be said. There’s nothing like family though to throw that little jab, a little poke of some sort. I’m not sure what to call it. Envy? It doesn’t feel like it. Jealousy? It does not feel like that either. Maybe a simple observation. However, I do find that not everything must be said, needs to voiced or discussed unless of course I bring it up. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. If it wouldn’t of been my ass, it would have been my hair, my nails, or something else! They just roll that way. This explains why sometimes you are better off drunk when dealing with family. Later on, we played a game of tennis. I’m competitive and when I took a couple of aims I did hit MY target. I apologized of course and left the rest unsaid. Petty…yes. Fun, yes. On the bright side, I was working on my not so firm and smaller ass!

lol, I’m laughing cause I am going through the same thing. I finally got to see my family for the first time in 6-7 months, and got the same thing. Somethings never change, lol

I think the familial emotion you are describing is insecurity. Your work ethic and results make them feel insecure and their trite comments are their way of minimizing you.
