Why is it so hard for my mother to care?

Question

When I was 8 weeks my husband and I decided to finally announce to the family that we are having a baby. My mom attended and seemed happy (so, I thought).

I am now 11 weeks and have not received one single phone call or text from my mom asking how I'm doing.

My Mother-In-Law (who just recently came back into my husband life) will text me every other day or every two days to ask if I'm doing okay, or if there is anything I need.

To add to all this! My birthday just recently passed on the 22nd, and my step dad sent me a happy birthday text. Not even my own mom could call me to wish me a happy birthday. To top it all off! They know I don't work and both had the day off and they didn't even offer to spend any time with me. My MIL took me to lunch..

I don't mean to vent, but so far! My mom is the only thing that makes me emotional during this pregnancy, and I don't know what to do :/

Answer

Has she always been like this?

Answer

I'm in a similar situation expect my mom wasn't like this before she divorced my dad last year! Now she basically think screw everyone and I'm living my perfect life and I don't care if you need me or not ! It's sad to go from a supporting mother to someone bitter and full of anger ! I ended up distancing myself

Answer

Well than I wouldn't worry to much about what she has to say.

Answer

When she try's to come around when your about to have baby, that is wrong. I personally don't think if someone wants to support you and be there for you early on then they don't get a place when the baby is almost here. I'm sorry your going through this.

Answer

It's your mother, you can't talk to her about it?
