Don't get bummed. After you wear them 3 times, they will be back to normal."

Then I went home for Spring Break this last week, and when I go home my mother insists on doing my laundry. Anyway, she slightly shrunk them (my favorite pair, but maybe they'll stretch back out). So, even though I know it's kinda like false advertising, I look at these jeans that still claim via the tag to be a size 18, and I sigh (*sigh*) because once again, they're tight. It's discouraging, in a weird way. It's like brainwashing, even though I know they've been shrunk!"

I had to make my mom not do my clothes when I would go to her house when I was in college and even after I graduated and she would come to my house. She always shrunk my clothes. I finally told her if she insisted on washing my clothes she had to wash them the way I wanted them washed. Cold water not hot and not everything is washed with regular detergent. Now she washes her clothes the way I do. She'll learn, it might take her a while but she will learn."
