My mother is absolutely obsessed with social media and making others think that she has a ‘perfect life’ - she’s only in her early 50’s too, if that’s relevant.
Now onto the AIBU and the annoying bit - she’s suddenly wanting to join me and DD (8) on our days out. She finds out about these days out because DD is autistic and my sister who lives with my mother usually joins us, to help me out as an additional carer for DD sort of thing.
She spends the whole time out on her phone taking photos, and especially trying to make DD fake smile and pose for the ‘perfect photo’, rather than just being present and enjoying the day out. It’s starting to affect DD now too as she just wants to enjoy herself but spends the majority of the time being hounded by my mother and her pissing phone. I call her out on it every single time, but she still carries on.
AIBU to say either she puts the phone away on days out or that will be the end of her coming out with us from now on?
