to be a tad miffed that the whole world knows my sexual business?

[KaylaFromAustrayla]

It is my mother's fault.

Anyhoo, after passing some important exams this year I finally tied the knot and feel the logical next step is to start a family, I am after all 29 now and my clock is ticking.

My mother however likes to know all the details and I have to tell her every day whether I am ovulating and if Bart is standing up to the job. We have a close relationship but I have discovered she has told everyone in their christmas cards all my business.

She only sends cards to close friends and relatives so it doesn't really matter and it's not like the whole world knows my business and when I am having a shag but that's what it feels like.

AIBU or is it normal to share this amount of information with friends in cards?

My mother however likes to know all the details and I have to tell her every day whether I am ovulating

wtf?????

YABU how can she "make" you tell her? Does she give you chinese burns until you yell out that yes Bart gave it to you good and proper last night.

Tell her to mind her own business.

Well, we didn't ALL know, but we do now

Lol you don't HAVE to tell her anything!

Stop telling her!

Yeah, I bet her friends are really going to love hearing all about your ovulation and whether you're shagging in their christmas cards. WTF?

@ Whistletoe

Yeah i don't care how close you are with dear old mum you really dont HAVE to share. And now you know your sharing has been past on then now is really time to put a stop to it.

Or tell her in exaggerated and extremely graphic detail to see how much she will write in a crimbo card

passed not past

I think you should stop her sending round robin Christmas card updates.

Or stop talking to her.

Give my festive regards to Bert

Don't tell her FFS.

You are a grown adult yes?

She knows what you CHOSE to tell her!

Oh dear, Kayla, I suspect your mum is going to be telling that lovely Bill and Sheila in Scotland all about your plans now

Id be seriously concerned! The old bat is probably going to tell everyone she has ever met in glorious detail!!

My dad said in his Round Robin that my sis as pg after a Long Time of Trying. Not sure whether to tell her or not...

"I have to tell her every day whether I am ovulating and if Bart is standing up to the job"

Unbelievable!!!!
Don't tell her, end of.

Tell her Bart has problems 'standing up to the job'

Oh my goodness. How did you and your Mum ever get into talking about that in the first place?!

I would be a bit more than miffed. :)

Oh dear. I think I have actually just pissed myself laughing.

Don't tell her.

"Oh Mum. Bart just wan't ......standing enough tonight."

Sorry but 'Bart'

Sorry

sorry

yanbu of course

but stop telling her and then she will run out of info to 'share'

That might solve your problem, but sadly this christmas you will be the topic of conversation among your mother's friends. It is far too late.

you better hope some random person doesn't get the info and post it on the internet or something!

Gee Kayla, 29? you'd better get a wriggle on!

YABU.... so it your mum.

I'm sure your DH is delighted that his wife tells his MIL all those things

Has she included your charts for added information? Plus a breakdown of CM and BBT by month?

Does Bart always stand up to do the job? What I want to know is this - Are you standing on your head after shagging? I mean if its gone in with an uphill struggle, the least you can do is give Bart's little swimmers a fighting chance.

As for the round robin's.....I never read them.

HTH.

Yabu. If she has the lack of tact to a ask and you have the lack of nous to tell her, then it puzzles me that you are surprised that she has brought the matter up in Christmas cards, it should be all natural to you!
