So I've never had to post here before, but there's something about babies that brings out the crazy in people! This is my first baby, I'm 34 years old. So my MOO lives in Arizona, I live in Michigan, we are from Michigan originally, but far away, like 4 hrs away from where I live now. My mother got it in her head that she was going to come home and have a shower for me back in our hometown. I told her that I didn't like that idea, and gave several reasons. (I'm not close to anyone there, those people can drive to my house for a shower, there's only like 6 people that would be invited from up there, etc). Of course she just ignores me and keeps talking. So last night she talked to my sister and my sister told her that I didn't want a shower there, and mom is giving her all the same bullshit she gave me but my sis is a bit more forceful than I am. Finally mom hangs up on her pissed off. Late last night mom sends a text to sis and forwards it to me to "keep me in the loop". She proceeds to call my sister a bitch, tells her F you, and says that our great aunts won't come to where I live for a shower because they are old (I don't care, I haven't spoken with these aunts in 5 years, we aren't close) and now who's going to give me a shower, blah blah blah.
I write her back this morning saying, "you never asked me if I even wanted a shower there, it would have been polite to ask a pregnant woman if she even wanted to drive across the state 6 plus months pregnant. I won't be doing that, and do not contact me again until you have apologized to my sister, you should be ashamed of the way you talked to your child in that message. You only forwarded me that text to cause more drama. I don't need the stress and cancel my subscription to your issues." basically is the cliff notes version. I didn't even swear and that is rare for me! I was very proud. lol
So she texts back "I hate to tell you but they are your aunts too, and will be your kid's aunts as well but obviously family isn't important to you". Umm yeah, cause she's actually even talked to these people in the last 5 years...yeah right... Oh and she's pissed off that she "had to hear from your sister that you didn't want a shower in our hometown, next time just tell me". umm I tried. you don't listen. I have not responded at all and don't intend to. But what do I do next? just BH everything she sends until I hear of she apologizes to my sis? Should I temporarily block her number? I just don't want to deal with her shit. period.
