Forward-looking or She Has Definitely Given Up Hope

I was out shopping with my mom today and she suddenly told me,
Mum: "Next time if you don't get married, you can buy a house of your own. A small one..."
Me: "Wha..."
Mum: "...a 2-room flat."
Me: "Wha...what?"
Mum: "So that I can go and stay with you sometimes."
Me: "... ..."
Me: "Why must you stay over? I was thinking of a studio apartment."
Mum: "No, a 2-room flat. For me to sleep in when I visit you."
I can be pessimistic and say she has definitely given up hope, or I can say that we're forward-looking.

Forward-looking. Definitely forward-looking.

Actually it doesn't make sense to have an extra room just so that your mum can occasionally stay over.

lol. I don't know... Maybe for when my sis stays over too?

But... that's not really the point of the post... hahaha.
