I got married yesterday and my mom was a little upset by it. Today, she won't talk to me. We didn't take a honeymoon yet because we are trying to get a bigger house. She says I wont do anything for her now. I dont understand her. Any advice on getting my mom to come around?

They dont really get along to well. She is really hard to please in anything you do. She has a problem with over taking meds and he calls her on it. He just trys to help.I dont understand why she is acting this way.He is a great father and he is really good to me.

i guess all you can try to do is just talk to her and reason with her...or see if your mother and husband can spend some time with each other alone to get to know each other better. another thing that might be a good idea is take her to see help about her addiction because that seems to be a major problem in her life. she should be happy for you if you are happy so i understand why you're upset, but, in all honesty, she might not come around, so you both will just have to deal with the situation. i know you desperately want your mother and husband to get along, but be prepared for it to just not happen. good luck!

Congrats to you and your new hubby. Maybe Mom is jealous so you need to show her you still have room in your life for her too. After all, what if there are grandkids someday? Try inviting her over for dinner or take her out so you and her can have some one on one time. Don't give up on her. Family is worth more than possessions. You can replace possessions but when family is gone you can't get them back.

We do have children together and that is why I can't understand her actions.

Awesome! Congrats! I think that your mom is worried that she'll "lose" you. She wants you all to herself and realizes now that you hve a husband some things are going to change. (which they will) Let her know that even though you have gotten married, that she is still a priority, maybe not #1 but still close to the top. You are an adult and need to have your own life.Reassure her that you will still be there for her no matter what.

First of all Congrats! I went through something similar with my mom a few weeks ago when I got my daughter's ears pierced, my mom claimed that I always hurt her so much and I shouldn't have gotten them pierced without her, ect ect. We had a long talk and I asked her why she feels this way, why it was such a big deal to her to be there when I got my daughter's ears pierced, ect. SO I would suggest sitting down and talking to her face to face about what is really bothering her and maybe you both can figure out a way to work on things together. My mom and I are now doing better and working on our differences after having a similar talk. Good Luck & Congrats!

Congratulations!!! If you're mom didn't approve of your marriage then It would take some time for her to visit you. Maybe she felt alone and miss your company... you should explain to her that marriage is not losing you but adding a new member to your family. Good luck!!

She says that YOU will not do anything for HER now?
Umm...that is a bit selfish....don't you think?
You just got married and she needs to be a bit more giving.
And just because you got married, does not mean that she is no longer a part of your life. I would say just tell her that you love her and will be there when you can to help her. Besides that...you really do need to live your own life too.
She will work it out. And congrats on the new marriage.

Firstly, congratulation from me to you, my friend and have a great day with your spouse. Hopefully you will always in happiness. About your mom, I think it is something natural for some of the mother because she feel sad, worry about your new life with your spouse which she don't know how it can be progress. This feeling is not so long I think, and its will be over and should okay after a few days. Your Mom will feel anything and worry about her daughter because almost the years from your birthday until now she is the person which take care of you and before this you are always with her share your feeling and soul with her, and after this you maybe separate with her and build up you own life with your spouse.This is normal for something new.

I didn't tell my parents until the last minute when I got married. They were shocked at first because they didn't know anything about the man I chose to be my husband. But only time can really tell if your parents will be able to accept your marriage. Be patient. Today my parents and my husband get along quite well. You're mom someday will get the hang of it too.
