I love my bf and we have loads of fun together. He is everything I have waited a lifetime to find. But my poor Mother. We have never seen eye to eye (I'm Dad's girl) and while she's the Queen, I'm the tomboy daughter.
So last Christmas, she asked what I got from the honey. Well I got everything I could have ever wanted. Fishing pole, lures, tackle box, rifle, bullets, etc. For my birthday, she called and excitedly asked what I got. Basketball season tickets, new slicks for my race car that we're restoring, etc.
Somehow, this Christmas is just going to kill her. I'm getting a new fire suit, helmet, and a 427 Chevy Big Block motor!
How do you cope with a Mom who is so different from you? She's always devestated when I tell her about my cool presents. And I'm thrilled with them. How to I get Mom to realize that I have the best of all worlds and am very happy? She wants to hear that I got jewelry and perfume and a sweater!

As long as you're happy, then that's what matters! It's great that you found a guy who shares your interests and gives you thoughtful presents. When you mom gives you a look say something like "Chad always gets me the most thoughtful presents, doesn't he?" And look really happy when you say it.

Tell your mom that what she wants for Christmas is not what you would like and that you are perfectly happy with the gifts you receive. I don't understand why Mom would have a problem as long as she knows you are happy.

I have been in situations just like you before! All you do is just lay the down the line and tell her that you to are so different but can also be close!
