Invite mom wedding dress shopping?

I think you should let her know how you feel. What you just explained above that you don’t feel she is interested in your wedding. She might not even notice what she is doing. I have a very close relationship with my mom and if she does something that bothers me I confront her and let her know so we can be able to move forward. So I say have a conversation with her how you are feeling and then let her know the date of your dress shopping and I think she will realize that this is important to you and hopefully she will attend.

My mom didn't come to mine. My first wedding she was uninterested and always said she was too busy to come with, so this time I didn't even bother to ask. I think a lot of people don't dress shop with their mothers anymore. But I totally know what you mean about the "not interested" feeling, and it sucks.

I couldnt imagine choosing my dress without my mom. But my mom is very interested. I would tell her and leave it up to her to show or not

I am really sorry you are going through this. It sucks and it is too bad she isn't being interested. I think if it is going to make you feel worse if she doesn't show up to the appointment even though she knows when the appointment is then don't tell her.

This might seem out of place, and sorry in advance if it is out of line, but have you asked her about her feelings about your wedding? I mean, I know I would be too chicken to ask if my mom was acting like this because I would rather not know, but maybe asking her about her attitude towards your wedding will help you decide what you want to do.

I hope things go better for you and that your mom becomes more responsive. Again, so sorry that you are going through this. I know it would break my heart if my mom acted like this.

Are you typically close with your mom? Can you just talk to her? Is it possible, just maybe, that she's trying to not overstep, and that is coming across as uninterested? Would you want to risk really hurting her feelings by not inviting her over what could just be a simple miscommunication?
