My mom has treated me like crap since I gave birth. She kept bringing up how she could have had a baby boy back in her day but couldn’t after she had me. She seems like she is mad at me and I don’t think I will ever understand her 💆🏽♀️ my relationship with my mom has never been a good one. I don’t know if I can change it at this point of our lives.

Sounds like jealousy. I had the same issue when my second was born with one of my sisters

I didn’t think my own mom would act like that tho caught me by surprise and I find myself thinking about it a lot, getting depressed about the issue

it took almost a year for my sister to get over it so just know it takes time. And people get over their own issues eventually I would just take it with a grain of salt since she’s supportive with your LO. In some cultures boys are preferred so she might not even really understand that she’s coming off like this. Got to look back at how your grandparents are too. This is something I learned the second year of marriage learning how my husbands family dynamics are really helped our relationship

Does sounds like jealousy. It's sad your own mom can be though. She should be happy for you.

I wish she was more happier for me. She loves her grandchild and is very happy to hear about him. Although she has been very cold to me 😞

Honestly, I’d just confront her about it. And let her know that if she can’t show you a little more warmth & kindness that maybe you need to take your family/life a step away from her for awhile until she can get past her negative feelings. It’s wonderful that she loves your son, but how she’s treating you is obviously messing with YOUR mental health. And your little man needs a healthy momma. Remember how you’re feeling is important too.
I hope things get better for you, girl. Tension with your mom is never an easy road to navigate. ❤️❤️

Thanks for the wonderful advice! You are right I need to keep some distance for now to keep myself sane and not sad during the holiday times. Appreciate your help ☺️
