Treats Me Like A Kid- | My Gym Mommy

I’m 28.

Anyone else deal with this? How do you balance love and respect when your parent won’t see you as an adult — even in the squat rack?

She reminds me to stretch. She tells me not to “overdo it.” She double-checks that I’ve brought my water bottle. And if I even think about skipping leg day? Oh, the look. My Gym Mommy Treats Me Like A Kid-

But you know what? She never misses a workout. And neither do I. So maybe being her little gym goblin isn’t so bad. 🏋️‍♀️👩‍👧

I’m a grown adult. I’ve been going to the gym for years. But the second she’s there, I lose all credibility.

At first, it drove me crazy. But then I realized – this is her way of caring. She’s been cheering me on since I was wobbling on a tricycle. Now she’s just swapping the tricycle for a treadmill.
