anticlimactic

I called my mom a few minutes ago to let her know that I'm bringing a guy friend to brunch tomorrow. My mom didn't have much of a response only asked his name. Maybe she's come to realize that it's no big deal at all (I doubt that, only wishful thinking). After 10+ years of harassing me to find somebody, now that I actually want her to meet someone, she has no reaction. I don't get it?! Yes, I do feel disappointed. She sounded even despondent. I think it's either hot or cold with her, either overreacting or not reacting at all. Bizarre, quite bizarre.

I think it's the same thing about eating. For years, she would tell me not too overeat and to exercise. Then when I've actually lost weight and started running, I got the same reaction, nothing. I've never did those things for my mom. I did it for myself. I feel annoyed though that she makes all these critical remarks, but not words of affirmation. Yes, I'm feeling quite disappointed and I'm venting. Some moms are impossible, my mom definitely falls into that category :(!
