Gee, that is too bad that you are subjected to such a miserable person, I would try to stay clear of her and do not let her try to manipulate you, (I know moms have that special craft) you had a lovely intention, and sound like a really good soul, don't let her rob you of feeling happy.
I do not know your age or circumstances, but if you live home but are old enough to try to get your own place, do so before she robs all your spirit, life is too short to be miserable (I know, I've been there) try to enjoy your time with those that respect and treat you as you treat them. Let mom go "mutter" alone. . .you, go out and have a good time with a friend or just treat yourself to quiet time
Don't feel, "why do I even try", you did a lovely thing, it wasn't your fault the place was closed, it happens.
Maybe your mom has issues she needs to address, has she ever been in therapy?
You may even mention that you spend time more with your boyfriend cause he is more fun and a joy to be with, her feeling of being unwanted is truly brought on by herself and her unpleasant ways. I do not know your relationship with her, but if you are able to, tell her just what you said here and if she is going to talk and treat you in that manner as she did, it is best you and her see even less of each other.
If none of what I said doesn't apply, being that I do not know you, just "scrap" this. I get so angry when I hear of such ungratefulness, even if it is coming from the adult. . .parent.
I only have one child (young man) who is 17 y.o., I appreciate anything he does, and praise him, not excessively but when he does something nice. . . I love the kid
You take care of yourself, try to let this pass and learn from it, she insists on being miserable then let mom, stay alone and miserable, but do not allow her to suck you into her gloomy world.
