Well even getting married didn’t make my parents happy
I (36F) recently got married to my partner of 4 years - it was a well thought out decision but it was a bit spur of the moment because of some life things. Regardless it’s a happy one. My parents have probably wanted me to get married for over a decade and I’ve fought with them and told them numerous times that I will do it when I feel like it. Now that I have done it they are so blah about it. I called to wish my mom for Mother’s Day yesterday and my dad literally said - when will we get a chance to wish you a happy Mother’s Day and I was so appalled and taken aback and frankly also a bit grossed out. I have been married for three weeks and it’s already about the next thing. What the fuck! I don’t think anything makes them happy anymore. It’s always just about the next thing. Just needed to vent!
