Standard: Long time lurker, new account, read sticky and I know what to expect.
Background: 30 years old, Single working mother, amicable relationship with ex-baby's father.
Okay, so my mother is in her final week of her long visit. Around my lunch time she texted me saying that McDonalds is having some sort of Minion permotion where if you bring your child in wearing something with a Despicable Me Minion on it then you get something free. A kids meal, hamburger or something. She's never been good with details. I agreed to go since my 4 year old has a minion shirt. An hour later she texts:
Mother: Do you might if we meet at the McDonalds at [Location]. Can meet [ex-boyfriends mom and dad]. I have something [DS] can give to Granny. OK!
Side note: I am amicable with my ex-boyfriend and his parents. They respect my boundaries and rules for my son. Thanks to DWIL I squashed that shit real fast in the begining.
Me: What is the present? And this sounds like it's turning into some big thing. I just wanted to grab food and go home.
Mother: Call bout your air conditioning for car. (I don't know why she sent this? My AC is fine???)
Mother: Not long for this place so just pleaseeee. Thx.
Me: I'll pass.
Mother: Why???
Mother: For DS.
Mother: What is your problem???
Mother: You said sure
Me: I said sure to food. Not some plan to hang out with (other grandparents).
She didn't respond so I thought that was the end of it. Come to get a text from my EX that said "Hey can you call me after work?" Work is slow I gave him a call. He says my mother has been texting him and told him to call me and get me to agree to doing dinner at McDonalds.
I'm having a hard time forming a response that isn't completely rage filled. Please help me DWIL! Advice and responses to her actions are most welcome!
