My husband and was offers a 6 figure job, I called my mom to tell her the good news, i told her a little more about the benefits and she asked what his salary was, I told her and she didnt say much. The next day my brother told me she was mad when she got off the phone. I thought she'd be happy for us but i think she's jealous--im not sure what to say to her. Any advice?

Moms are hard to figure out sometimes. Is this job going to move you guys? Next time, maybe you shouldn't discuss the salary with him...might make life easier.

That seems a little odd. I'd think she'd be GLAD her daughter is married to a good provider and not trying to mooch money off of her. Just don't flaunt it in front of her and stay away from the topic of $. It's as touchy as debating religion and politics with family and never ends up well.
Congratulations on his success!

first of all why are you attempting to act attractive at that age. you have your finished life to try this, and you're thank you to youthful. rather of thinking of the form you look, and specializing in others to get to look at you via dressing "attractive" you may desire to be enjoying your adolescence. To be undemanding, the 1st ingredient that pops into my concepts as quickly as I see somebody your age dressing like that I in the present day think of that she is labelled as undemanding. you will possibly be useful without objectifying your guy or woman physique. perhaps you may desire to take heed to on your mom, and end thinking that she is jealous. She is looking out for you through fact she does not prefer something undesirable to take place to you.

If She Can Not Be Happy For You Then I Advise You Not To Tell Her Anything Like That.. Mums Can Be VERY Protective!!

Say nothing more about it. If she is jealous, then she will have to work through it. It is to bad that she doesn't want something good to happen for you, but some people are that way.

This is why families and friends for that matter should never really discuss salary.
Your mother really had no business asking and you should have politely declined to answer.
All that said, she should be happy for you.

Don't say anything. If the topic every comes up and she cocks an attitude, just ask her what her problem is.
