I'll never understand why when I'm upset, my mom's first reaction is to just laugh at me.
Even if I'm in tears, she laughs.
I was upset today because the washing machine may have ruined my clothes again...
It does this thing where sometimes it spits this weird, grey gunk on the clothes. Usually it just affects like 3 shirts at most, but this time, my load of black shirts were all covered in it. All of them are my favourites. Some I got lucky and only the inside had gunk, but most, including my all time favourite shirt got gunk on the outside, all over them...
I was just trying to clean them off.
But my mom just stood there laughing at me because I was upset over my clothes. Even when a few years escaped my eyes, she still stood laughing.
What's so funny about being upset over my favourite clothes being ruined? Some of these I just bought, and quite a few of my older shirts I have to use for night shirts because they're ruined with weird lightish blobs all over them and don't look clean. I don't enjoy having people ask if I spilled something or having a co-worker or even my own mom ask me at work if my shirt is clean. I don't have the money to just replace each shirt every time I wash them. And some of them you can't get anymore or have sentimental value.
Would it still be funny to her if her clothes got black gunk on them and ruined them? I definitely wouldn't laugh about it if it happened, because it sucks, and I doubt she would be happy over it.
I just don't know why every time I'm upset, her first reaction is to laugh. She complains that we don't ever really spend too much time together or I don't really share much or really talk to her anymore about stuff in my life.
I just don't feel like get laughed at when I tell her all my close friends just don't care about me, or that things are really rough for my boyfriend right now and I'm stressed along with him, or that I'm feeling really depressed with my art and passions.
I'm sure she'd just laugh.

I was about to be more upset.
My favourite restaurant is too far to just drive to on regular days, and they closed the one that was around where me and my boyfriend go to a lot.
I told him all about it and that I haven't been in years, and I would love to take him there and have him experience it for the first time!
He's hanging out with a friend and sent me a photo showing they had one of the restaurants right where he was. I was excited for it, because it isn't far, but my asumptions hit me too fast. I thought he went there.
I know it's probably really petty to get upset over, but I've told him time and time again that it's my favourite and that I want to take him for his first time there.
Fortunately he didn't stop there, just took a picture to show me so we could go on a date there one day!
I feel silly.
I'm still upset over my clothes and I'm hoping this extra rinse and wash will fix them,
But at least there's something my boyfriend found that I can look forward too.
