Not so excited Mom

My FH and I have been together for 6 years and engaged for 3. My mom was happy for us when I told her we were engaged and just a couple months ago I told her we finally set our date and could finally plan my wedding.

My FH and I have been together for 6 years and engaged for 3. My mom was happy for us when I told her we were engaged and just a couple months ago I told her we finally set our date and could finally plan my wedding. She wasn't as thrilled as I thought she would be. I don't know what it is but when I talk about my wedding she doesn't seemed as interest or excited as I thought most moms would be. She doesn't bring up any wedding ideas or ask about my wedding planning. I thought this would bring us closer together but I feel further apart. Does any one else have this issue with there mom?

    Absolutely. I have learned that little details will consume my thoughts A LOT the next 7 months. But ultimately it's your wedding day and nobody will ever be as excited as you.

    Yeah my mom would always say, oh when you get married I'll help you plan. Yeah right! She didn't help with anything. Nothing! Not even the day of the wedding. Which was fine with me. I wasn't expecting her or anyone else to help.

    My mom and I aren't close and I hardly talk about the wedding with her. 99.9% of the time the wedding is spoken about, she brings it up (like that time she just told me "My friend is coming to your wedding." without asking if it's okay.) Thank goodness my FMIL is a wonderful lady!

    Maybe your mom is afraid of losing you. My mom just got to the point where she is excited but it took several months for her to get to that point.

    My mom is the same way. She was super excited for the engagement but has not been involved or "excited" about the wedding or planning. I'm not asking for help in the planning process at all but it would be nice for her to reach out to me or maybe seem interested. No one is excited for a wedding more than the bride. Brush it off and enjoy the process with your FH. My father on the other hand, he is excited more than anyone else! He has been involved since day one and that makes up for everything Smiley smile My dad and I pretty much planned this whole wedding together. lol
