writes:I etched a portrait of my boyfriend for him. He framed it, however, before hanging it on his wall, he started entertaining the idea of giving it to his mother for Christmas, or, may be, for Mother's Day. Can someone tell me if this is a sign of being a mamma's boy or is it a sign of total disrespect for me?

He's not vain, he has no wish to look at himself, but he's mum will love it, she could look at her son all day. He is giving you a high compliment, your gift is good enough to present to his mum. His mother will love you for this.

Neither.
hauling out soap box
What happened here is a classic example of a female trait that has frustrated me for decades. I can't even put a name to it. What happens is the woman gives the man a gift that she would like to receive. Then she is mystified when he doesn't appreciate it. The best thing for the man to do in this case is to try to figure out how to give a similar gift to her next gift giving occasion. I'm not really sure what advice to give to the woman other than to say I'm sorry we just don't think like you do.
Guys, Lady's value the time you put into a gift more than any other aspect. Women, Men just want to have fun.

 I think he appreciates the gift but he isn't aware that it will make you feel odd or hurt by giving it to his Mother. I am sure he thinks it's very nice and probably thinks it would mean something special to his Mother. Perhaps he knows she will probably take better care of it than he. *-)
Perhaps you could ask him to allow you to do another one JUST FOR HER! That will not only give him the chance to present her with a BEAUTIFULLY FRAMED PICTURE of himself but will Paint a BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF YOU for offering to do this Most Gracious OF GIFTS.
IT'S NOT THE GIFT THAT COUNTS BUT THE HEART BEHIND THE GIFT OF GIVING. MY BEST to YOU and YOUR boyfriend.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
God bless,
