Mom....

Hey girls....
Today I feel kinda bummed cause my mom is being so crappy. I called her and told her I was sooo excited because we booked our photographer and she says, 'OK....well....good....I gotta go hun...bye...' I mean.... ***??? How can I get excited when she doesn't even really care. I'm her only daughter and isn't she supposed to be excited with me?? I don't mean to be so negative but it kinda bummed me out. Thanks for listening to me vent....

Re: Mom....

I'm sorry, but I am going through kind of the same situation. My mom didn't want to go with us to the hall when we were looking...she said she had already been there at a previous wedding. I asked my mom weeks in advance to come dress shopping with me. A couple of days before I found out she told her job she would work. She said 'Oh sorry I forgot'. It really hurt, but this is my wedding and if she doesn't want to be part of it then oh well. But I totally understand where you are coming from.

Re: Mom....

Oh I am so sorry. I have actually repeatedly told my mom, that when we are wedding planning I want it to be fun and a time I can look back on happily. So please do not vent or tell me 'problems' I will have to deal with concerning my FIL's or FH. After I say that she stopps. But it stinks I have to even say these things.

Re: Mom....

My mom is a hands off kind of woman. Although the 'plans' aren't so exciting to her, I know she is happy for me, she is even making my flower girl dresses. Every mom shows their love in different ways. As long as YOU are really happy, don't worry about mom too much, and don't let it hamper your excitement. I am sure she is excited, just shows it different ways. In the end she will be proud of how you pulled it all together.

Re: Mom....

My mom can get like this sometime too. I mention something about the wedding and she starts talking about waht outfit my dad bought her. It reallllllllllly bugs me. However, u must understand that this day is important to her its not that she doesnt care. Its hard for anyone to be as excited as you are about your special day. That is what i have to keep saying to myself when my mom gets like this sometimes.

Re: Mom....

I'm really sorry - I understand also. My mom is being very generous financially but really doesn't seem to care about the little details. However, it can be a blessing at times, b/c she doesn't insist on picking things.

Re: Mom....

im so sorry to hear that. dont let your mom put you down. hopefully shell get out of the slum shes in a start to be excited for you...all of us girls are excited for you.

Re: Mom....

I am really sorry about that. But don't let things ruin your planning.

Re: Mom....

my mom was like this early on inthe planning - but now as the wedding nears she is excited and we are doing a lot together - she decided that she wants to do my hair and makeup and we have gone shopping together for things - I think that when you discuss plans so early in the planning stages pther's can't really connect yet - until it is almost here - then again my MOH which is my little sister doesn't seem interested and rolls her eyes when my mom and I are talking about the wedding - but I think this is jealousy..more than anything
