JabberWocky54210 tells us more.
Hey guys, OP here. She immediately apologized after, but the damage was done. Like a couple of you said, Mom didn't want me to be upset during the last couple of months of my trip. I'm 18 and was on an exchange program, so I wasn't there for most of the development up to this statement. It's difficult, but I could see very quickly that my parents weren't happy. Things are better now, with Mom here in New Zealand and my dad in the States. Sorry to all of you who have been through this as well.

I understand not being able to hold it in any longer but that's no way to celebrate your arrival. Welcome home!
Maybe she's been waiting a long time so she could tell you in person.
Tact... Thy name is mother!
I just feel she could've found a better time to tell you I mean you did just get home from a two year tour which by the way OP thank you for so much for your brave service welcome home!
She's from New-Zealand, she did not complete 'brave service'...
Welcome home!
Such a lovely greeting. Sorry op... That really bites.
50% of the time it happens every time

Man that sucks. Way too blunt. Sorry OP.
Damn, my parents did that to me after I delivered my first child. It's one of those huge moment spoilers. I'm sorry they greeted you like that. Welcome home!
