If I didn't make the effort to see my mum, then I probably wouldn't see her. We live close by to each other but since she got married 15 years ago she's all about the husband. It's fine, i'm an adult, I have my own life to lead.
She does text me but at really stupid times like when I've just got in from work and i'm sorting things out or late when i'm sleeping. I always text back though.
What really bothers me is that whenever I ask if she wants to go out and do something, she very rarely says yes. If I go to her house then I'm 'mucking her routine up' and if she's watching TV or in the garden then she won't stop doing that while i'm there so there''s usually little point.
Almost every time I ask if she wants to go and do something she'll say no, that she's busy in the house or in the garden. My auntie and cousin spend lots of time doing things together and on outings, so when my mum says no to me, it makes me feel very rejected, which is pathetic I know. AIBU to think that she should want to spend time with me and for once leave what she has to do at home to spend time with me?
