My mum comes over to help on a tea time maybe twice a week which I really appreciate and have told her this.
Anyway, I gave birth to my fourth baby last thursday so since then mum has been over a bit more to help, again I have been very vocal in thanking her.
The problem has come about because everytime my mum comes over she leaves her handbag anywhere and everywhere, coat the same. I have been asking her for ages, nicely, to leave her handbag where I keep mine and to put coat on hooks. We all keep falling over her things.
Anyway, it just keeps falling on deaf ears. Tonight, she left her handbag in front of the footstool. ds1 didnt see it, tripped over it and went crashing into tv. Thankfully no one was hurt.
I went into kitchen and asked nicely again that she put her bag away or when she comes in I will do it for her in future.
She said she was sick of me going on about it and left without saying bye to the children. dd was very upset.
Now she is sending texts saying I was wrong and full of attitude. I was really nice with no attitude. She also said in her texts that I should not phone or text her. I text her back saying that I would respect that until she wanted to talk but dd was upset at the way she left. She has now gone on a text rampage saying I am full attitude for telling her that about dd.
Am I wrong?
Please dont be too hard, I only gave birth a week ago.
