AIO for being upset about my mom blowing me off for mother's day, especially since I'm also a mom?

AIO for being upset about my mom blowing me off for mother's day, especially since I'm also a mom?

My mom and I live a 14hr drive apart. We both work full time, and we are both moms. My mom has 3 other kids who live in her state, and I have a 1yo daughter.

I asked to facetime with her tomorrow, so we could wish her a happy mother's day, and she responded as shown. She doesn't seem interested in wishing me a happy mother's day also.

We aren't actively fighting or anything, but (based on separate situations from this) I feel like my mom generally dislikes me as a person. She used to say "I love you, but I don't like you" and I feel this sentiment resurfacing.

She has not answered my last text, and I don't think she plans to.

Am I overreacting for being hurt by this?

I'm not looking for any specific scenarios, so please answer from your own experience/observation.

I want to poll a large population and discuss this topic in advance of my staying home with our children. My mom was a SAHP for my entire childhood and my dad financially destroyed her when he divorced her, so I'm really anxious despite wanting to stay home.

If it matters - I am a 29yo mom with a bachelor's degree and 7 years of post-college full-time working experience. I work in STEM, managing a lab and its research animal collection. My husband has an very stable job at a financial institution. We've been married for 4 years, have a 1.5yo daughter, and plan to have a second soon.

After our youngest children are all in school, I'd like to return to work (at least part-time). How difficult is this for SAHPs?

Thank you for any help!

Please include your gender, age, height, and weight (if you're comfortable).

I am a 5'6" 146lbs 29yo female who has used Wegovy for 13 months. I've been on maintenance since March, when I hit my goal weight (145lbs).

I am trying to space my doses out every 3 weeks because I eventually want to go off this medication.

I am struggling to stay under 2000 cal/day. I'm so hungry and shaky all the time. I feel pathetic.

Would everyone mind sharing their intake so I can tell if I should be concerned about my own intake?

Thank you.

This has been my dosage schedule since February, when I finally reached my goal weight, and I've been able to maintain this weight ever since with little/no issues.

Is my current dosage considered low? I'd eventually like to go off entirely so I wonder how much "weaning" I have ahead of me.

Thanks! :)
