Most girls fight with their mothers all the time; most teens fight with their parents all the time, or their siblings, or both. It's-- normal, it is really, and while it's absolutely wonderful that you have the family relationship that you do, but it also seems that it's easily shaken because it's not shaken often. So you should try to remember to take that into account, too. Little pitfalls like this don't mean that your relationship with your mom isn't good or even great; they're just things that everybody goes through, but that manifest differently in different families. (My family clashes a lot more than yours does, it seems like, and so there's more tension, but it also means that little tensions aren't that unusual, so that obviously changes the way we deal with it.)
It's definitely normal, I promise. Your mom probably shouldn't have told you that, but she probably did because she thought she could. At least she tells you, though, because otherwise she'd just be unhappy in silence. (Also, it'll probably always be different for Waen, because she's the second child and will always be the baby, no matter what. As much as my mom and I don't get along sometimes, it's always been different than how she and my sister didn't get along.)
♥ ♥ What would you think about trying to talk to her about what you wrote about? I mean, maybe it's not the right time, but it's something to think about. It might not hurt to express some of your frustration; after all, it is like you want her to feel like she's not being taken care of. (From what I have heard, I think you do an exceptional amount of nice things for her, and that you two are exceptionally close, but it is really something that is different for every relationship.) But I don't know if that would help at all.
