NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Usher and his mother have reconciled, but the singer still wishes she hadn't boycotted his wedding three years ago.

In an interview with Vibe magazine, the 32-year-old says he was "very disappointed" that his mother decided not to witness his marriage to his former stylist, Tameka Foster. The two divorced in 2009.

Usher told the magazine he "wouldn't do that to my child." He added that "parents should be able to have unconditional love for their children and their decisions, regardless of how they feel."

Usher and Foster are parents to 2-year-old Usher Raymond V and 1-year-old Naviyd. Usher's mother used to manage his career.

The October/November issue of Vibe hits newsstands Oct. 12.
