Since I don't want to eat anything at home. I asked my mom to buy a kilo of avocado since she is on her way to the market. so i would be on a diet and it's only $1.25 a kilo but she said it's full of cholesterol. That she won't buy. She always decide what we can eat and we can't eat. It's really terrible. Because she was advised by her doctor to cut down on cholesterol, she also want to cut down in what we eat. But we are not sick at all. Sh e is the one who needs to cut down on foods. I'm just angry with her attitude. She always think what is good for her would be good for us. What can make her happy would also make us happy also.

I understand you feel bad mood because of this but she is very concern of her family's healthy, she doesnt want anyone in her family to suffer like her. Perhaps you can convince your mother that you will balance your food so it wont full of cholesterol. Tell her that avocado has a lot of benefits for our body healthy, it is not only containing cholesterol but it is also rich of vitamins. If she refused to buy you avocado, you better buy it by yourself.

I'm sorry to hear that, you should probably talk to your mom seriously about how you feel. sit down with her and tell her how you see things from your point of view. When you talk to her don't tell her in a way that seems like your attacking her. You can try understand her by imagining you in her position, probably she doesn't want you guys to have that problem later on and is trying to get food low in cholesterol. But i don't know her real reason. Try to figure something out with her don't attack her. Have a lovely day.

I think you need to talk to your mom instead of not talking. Discuss this issue with her. Explain your side and maybe she could explain her side as well.. You said that she was advised by her doctor to cut down on cholesterol and maybe she is sick. She might just want to prevent her kids being sick as well..

I'm sorry you're not getting along with your mom right now. Her behavior would frustrate me too. She may just be worried about you, or it could be that she might not have the will power not to eat them if they are in the house. My roommate converted to a religion where she is not allowed to eat pork, a few years ago. Til this day she gets mad at me and my other roommate if we buy bacon or pork chops. We tell her that it is her decision not to eat them, and that we're not forcing her to, or telling her to, so she should give us the same respect by not telling us not, or getting angry at us for it. I hope things get better for you soon.

Well if you are her children then that is her right. If you are under 18, she can bring what sher wants to the table. If you want it that bad, earn some money and get it yourself, or else, sorry to say, it's your parents job to look after you and take care of you. She can feed you what she feels is right.

hi hotsummer your mom was wrong, avocados do not have cholesterol at all they are a good fat and also have antioxidants in them. she needs to do some research via the computer and net. she needs to find out what foods do contain cholesterol and what are safe to eat and will actually lower her cholesterol. tell mom to talk to a dietician who will show her that avocados are cholesterol lowering food.
