Am I dramatic

My mom bought a pony for me when I was 5 or 6. From that age until 18 I had to feed it daily, scoop manure daily, and ride it weekly. Not to mention the multitude of other chores that come with horses such as stacking hay 3 times a year, or when temperatures get below zero and we’d have to blanket them and get them in the barn all while freezing our own faces off.

I had to skip hangouts with friends to go trail riding with my mom or go to horse shows that I could care less about.

I know this sounds like I’m spoiled to complain, but not being able to explore your own hobbies because horses take up your life, and your mom has a melt down at the thought of you not riding with her, has made for some resentment.

I’m now 27 with my first child on the way and my mom told me she found a pony to buy her.

She’s not even out and breathing yet!! Child is in the WOMB.

I’ve expressed that I’m not into horseback riding and I said if she buys a horse I will not be taking care of it. I think that’s fallen on deaf ears.

I want to talk to her and let her know that my future child will choose their hobbies of interest, and if she buys a horse for her she cannot have any expectations that my child will ride it or care for it, unless this child WANTS to on their own initiative.

Am I being weird or dramatic?

My mom’s emotionally unstable so I’m careful to not totally put her hopes and dreams down, but also I don’t want my child experiencing what I did.
