Today, I told my mother I got engaged. Her reply was a great heaving sigh, followed by ,"OK… So how's work going?" She showed more excitement last week when my brother managed to properly make Kraft macaroni. FML
I agree, your life sucks 9 800

Look, if your brother can master the difficult art of Kraft Mac n Cheese, your mom has access to tasty, cheap calories for life. What does your fiancé bring to the table?

She must really dislike your fiancé, but congrats!

Well, hopefully she'll come around eventually. But congratulations on the engagement OP!

I find passive aggressive people so very irritating and useless. If she has a good reason to think you're engagement is a bad idea, she should just say so. If she doesn't have a good reason, she should just congratulate you and knock off the sighing and eye-rolling. If someone is old enough to have adult children, they're way passed the point where they should've learned to be an adult.

Since your mom is impressed with food talent, see if your fiancé posses such skills. if he does show it to your mom then she'll be butter in your fiancé.

hate to say it, but she probably just doesn't like your fiance. there are two things you can do with this information. you can ignore it and continue on, or you can find out why. I've known a lot of people whose lives would be better today if they had listened to their family when they didn't like the s/o.

Making macaroni takes more effort and is easier to screw up than simply saying yes to a question.

So... how is work going? Think we need a follow up.
