Basically I'm sure I'm like most women and when I am at home I don't wear a bra. Well my mom arrived home and saw I was not wearing a one under my shirt. I never do when I'm at home coz they're not comfortable but my mom got angry at me and said it was unacceptable for me to be braless when trades-men are here working.
I'd like to know if my mom ova-reacting? I'm not very big up top. And I was wearing a top but just no bra under. So I don't see the problem. Even tho i don't have big boobs, i guess you could say my nipples are not exactly small but Is this a reason why I should wear a bra if anyone is here?
Pretty much my mom said it looks really bad and its not acceptable when trades men are here. Is she ova-reacting?
She used a few words I wont repeat here but they hurt me
Thank you

I just want to add to the other posters' comments here. I am so sorry your mother was hurtful towards you. My own mother can be very hurtful sometimes, so I understand how that may feel. It sucks.
I am guessing (as an older female myself) that your mother was perhaps concerned about potential unwanted sexual attention from the male workers. She could have expressed her concerns very differently, however.
Of course you have every right to not wear a bra in or outside your house. That is your right. However, in doing so, it can attract attention from men, but you're 18 and an adult, so I am sure you are aware of that. As long as you are comfortable, that's what matters the most, either way, bra or no bra.
To answer your question, your mother did seem to overreact and behaved poorly over the situation. I hope you are doing OK now. (((hugs)))
