35. My mom has met my husband...

Fri May 22, 2015, 06:43 PM

May 2015

Earlier on in our relationship, we went over to my parents house a few times (they only live about 25 minutes away). Usually, my mom would find a reason to be busy. She just had to do the laundry or clean the kitchen or clean the bathroom while we were over. The first time, I thought it was odd, but later I suspected and began to realize that it was her way of avoiding things. We also went out to dinner a couple of times, once when some extended family visited and offered to take us out to dinner. During that time period, we were having our house built and I was excitedly showing cousin (who is old enough to be my aunt) a floor plan and Mom seemed pretty disinterested.

Once we moved into our new home, she refused to come visit us and see it.

I do hope that sometime she will come around.
