yeah you are totally right to feel that way. you should tell her that it hurt your feelings and ask her like "does it really bother you?"... maybe she wanted grandkids or something but hey, either adopt cute ones and name them maddox and give them mohawks or come to me and i'll have them for you! :( i love you!

i don't know if i want to bring it up with her... it's just so out-of-character for her. i mean, she's never ever shown any disappointment or anything. and she's loved everyone i've dated :-P

Yeah, I can see how that would bother you. I think that you should probably talk to her about it and tell her that it made you uncomfortable. I'm sure that she didn't mean for you to take it that way. I wish that I could be of more help.

And on another note...
AAAAAAAGH! Why is everyone leaving all at once?!

It's something most parents go through.

They want to see their children get married and have children. They want to see them marry someone of the opposite sex and have biological children.

It's not so much that your mom is being unaccepting of you, it's that that's the idea she has had in her head for 18 years and it takes more time than months she's known you're gay, for her to change her line of thinking.

My parents are entirely accepting of my sister, however, they still hold hope in the back of their mind that she'll get married to a man and have children with him. And they've known she's gay for about three years now.

Give your mother time. Full acceptance and a change of views does not come quickly, easily, or in some cases, at all.

Just tolerate her opinions and thank god that she loves you and still supports everything you do. Many, many people are not that lucky.
