Mom Problems...

I have met the boyfriends family (twice in fact).  Everything went well.  I was a bit awkward but the first meeting at his mothers art show was good.  His father was very polite and sweet.  He showed me around the exhibition and spoke English with me.  His mother was a bit scary but overall nice.  His sister was wonderful.  Super awesome in fact.  I really like his sister.  Anyways.  After we first met, his mother was asking him "when will you marry," "go visit her family in America," and "when are you going to have babies."  I let it go because it was a good sign that she accepted me, which was a problem before.  She was anti-foreigner but slowly changed her mind and then met me.  I thought everything was fine but man this woman is a roller coaster.

After the Seoul visit, his mother calls him.  She starts complaining to him.  She "noticed" how I didn't treat him like a "king" and that I need to do this and that and blah blah blah.  The issue is, the boyfriend was acting normal for our relationship and that upset the mom because he wasn't "sweet" to her and only me.  He carried my bags for me, even though I protested.  He took Trixie outside for me twice, even though I was going to do it.  He also took over doing the dishes, that I had been doing.  His mother didn't like that and thinks it was me that made him do it.  I did not make her son do those things.  He did them on his own.  He is a sweet man and he cares for me, and shows it by doing those types of things.  It is normal behavior for him.

What really bothers me is the whole "treating him like a king" thing.  She has no idea but I do all sorts of things for this man.  He is currently having issues with his work and them not paying him, so I have been paying for almost everything.  Which is hard with the bills and such I have to pay on my own.  I also do his laundry and clean and organize.  She is just uncomfortable with the fact that I am not the stereotypical "housewife" that she wanted for her son.  Not that he would want that anyways, he likes cooking and doing the dishes.

The other thing that gets to me is the fact that she wants me to do it all but her husband is the one that cleans the house, not her.  Pot calling the kettle black.

Seriously though.  It is really frustrating for me to hear her berate her son about me and him just sit there and listen/agree so he can pacify her.  Just kind of over trying to impress this woman.  She flip flops more than a politician and I am sick of it.  Just over it!
