Hello Yorinee00: Personally, I suspect that resentment has been building up in your mom over this for a while. Up to now she's laughed & gone along with the joke. But she finally reached a point where it was simply too much for her & she went off on you. Maybe there was also something else going on with her as well that contributed to her sudden loss of tolerance. How she reacted was certainly inappropriate... particularly the crack about choosing a husband. But she was hurt & she lashed out. It is a common human foible.

I'm personally sensitive to this sort of thing. I'm an older person now. But growing up, my father in particular, reveled in mocking anything I did that he thought was out of the ordinary; or that he didn't particularly like. And in my case, I simply had to put up with it. If I had said anything, I'd have probably gotten smacked. My wife frequently watches TV programs that I personally think are just stupid & would never watch under any circumstances. I not infrequently feel the urge to make some disparaging comment. But I work really hard to hold my tongue because I know what it was like to have something I enjoyed made fun of.

I wish you well...
