Yesterday my sister had one of her baby showers. She is getting two because her boyfriend's mother wanted to throw here one and I am throwing her one. In general, and I know this is bad to say, we try our best to keep our mother away from our friends and people we know. Our mother pretends to never know what should be said when in company and what can be said when you are just around family, but I know she does because she has this certain look she gets when she knows she is saying and doing something she shouldn't/
They wanted to take pictures of just my sister and her belly, but my mom forced her way into each and every picture! When they gave her a play yard for the baby, my mother said, "Oh I was gonna buy that, but DD said she didn't want it. Didn't you say you didn't want that?" When it was time to open presents, my mom openned all the presents, but of course she presented hers like diamonds and everyone else had bought cubic zirconia
. And lets not forget how she brought 5 bags of baby stuff so she can out do everyone else.
My sister's friend has a thick head beautiful head of 3c natural hair that is WL. OMG my mom looked at my hair and front of all these random people I don't know and said," Your hair use to be like that until you started putting all them chemicals in it. Now it's all thin. It's gonna fall out watch. You should stop perming it." Then she went on and on about how thin and scraggly my hair looks. Everyone was looking like wtf. How you gonna show your @$$ at a baby shower?
When I have my housewarming she will definitely not be invited. I will have to have a private family dinner just so she can come. My dad's response, " I told ya'll something was wrong with her. She got a mental problem."

[I don't know if you are a mother or not tho!] Just be grateful you even have a mom..some ladies on this board aren't even that fortunate 
Please don't hold a grudge against your mom for this. Remember that you only have one mother in this life. Eventually, you should let your mom know how you feel. I hope things work out between you two.
My dad used to say the same things about my mom too! 
When I first was talking about going natural we were at a function and the only reason I was speaking about it was because a caucasian woman was asking about weaves and such. And here goes mi mom saying " If you keep listening to those hair board folks your gonna look like kunta kentey....ova here talking about you going natural psstt" IN FRONT OF EVERYONE....then mi sister and her husband started making jokes saying things like mi hair would be rough like sand paper and all types of stuff.
