Today, I must find a gentle way to tell my 71-year-old mother that she's too old to be wearing shirts that expose her belly. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, an old lady on the street told me that I should be wearing a bra because my nipples were visible under my white tee. I am a 37-year-old man. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to see his 72-year-old mom who just had minor surgery on her abdomen. When we asked how she was healing, she lifted up her nightgown to show us a bruise near her belly button. She wasn't wearing any underwear. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, my mom took a bright red sharpie and drew a red circle just above my breasts. She said, "If I can see this, ever, your shirt is either too low cut or too see through and it will be thrown away." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Today, I had to have a discussion with my 54-year-old mother about showering. She thinks it's perfectly OK to shower only once a week. FML
Today, my mom and I took my senile grandmother to the mall, since she doesn't get out much. She complained it was hot, then took her clothing off in the middle of the food court. It took us thirty minutes to make her put her shirt back on. FML
Today, I went to my parents' for dinner, who greeted me outside and immediately my mom said, “What are you wearing? Go to my room and change your shirt.” I was with my husband and I’m 47. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML

#8 She is 71 she can care about appearances if she wants. OP just tell her that it is inappropriate or only buy her clothes that cover her stomach.

I know it is gross but if it makes her happy then you don't have a right to tell her what to wear. Who does she have to impress? She might just want to feel younger and happier. I think you should not tell her, unless you are going out somewhere nice. But other than that, what right do you have to tell your grandmother what to wear?

I agree with #3. Don't worry about it unless your going out somewhere fancy. If she wants to wear it, then let it be.

I agree. But it's her mother, not her grandmother. I think grandmother would be worse :P

"...I told her put an extra layer on I know what happens when she drinks Patrone Her closet’s missing half the things she’s bought Ya Tequila makes her clothes fall off..." Or, at least, get skimpier

Why? Let her wear what she wants. If people frown upon it, then it's their problem. You shouldn't tell your mom what to wear 0o What if she old you you were too fat to wear white clothes, and you should stick with black? You wouldn't want her to tell you what to wear.

maybe she wants to keep her mom from being embarrassed?

Maybe she should realize her 71-year old mom is old enough to take care of herself?

old people don't always notice when they do embarrassing things.

36- If they don't 'notice' they're doing embarrassing things, they wouldn't be embarrassed by them. If it makes her happy, let it be. She's 71, it's her life, let her live it the way she wants to. I think the OP should only bring it up if they're going somewhere fancy or sophisticated and she tries wearing it.

Oh jeez. 69 once again >.<

I guess I should point out that when you make even more explicit the fact that you got comment #69 it makes you sound like a child. But if you're already doing something, then you obviously wouldn't know or care how embarrassing it is. Wouldn't the world be a fantastic place if there was nobody to point out our mistakes?
