Everything I enjoy is "weird"
I'm not sure if I'm the only one that's ever experienced this, But my mom thinks that everything I enjoy whether it'd be entertainment, movies or a hobby is "weird" she was like that when I was a child, but it seems to have gotten worse since I've gotten older. She's very quick to make me feel stupid for these things.
For example, for my birthday, I had a hobbit/Shire themed party. She thought it was so strange and brought it up so many times both myself and my sister. She kept saying she didn't understand why we were doing this theme. My sister finally told her "Because it's your daughter's birthday and that's what she wants."
I also mentioned that my husband and I were going to do a Harry Potter movie night and she literally just rolled her eyes and said that was so weird.
I guess it's just really strange. I have a son of my own and I know that as he grows older, he will develop hobbies and interests. I would never make him feel odd for just truly enjoying something that is innocent.
My mom borderline worships Donald Trump, and can sit all day and watch true crime. Those are things that I cannot relate to her on, but I would never outwardly shame her for those things. If I ever did, there would be hell to pay for sure. It's almost as if she's offended that the child she spent zero time getting to know, is nothing like her.....
Not sure if I'm the only one that's experienced this.
