have a long history.. luckily she lives in another country.
She's anti vax and ever since I had my eldest 12 long years ago, she's sent me tonnes of unwanted info on a regular basis, about the evils of vaccination. She's continued to do this over the years and it dropped off for a while (when I'd vaccinated the eldest two and she probably realised it was pointless going on about it)
So, I had our third child a few months ago and it's started up again. And eldest dd is due to have cervical cancer vaccine next year (if she has it, we/she haven't decided 100%). A few weeks ago, my eldest was chatting to her on Skype and she said (and I heard this, was in the other room but heard every word); Ooooh you really don't want to have the cervical cancer vaccine, there are children who've died because of that vaccine'. The MIL then burst into tears to demonstrate just how distressed she was at this. Which freaked dd out big time.
So for a while we had a very stressed out twelve year old worried to death about a vaccine she's not even due to have for another year or two.
Then yesterday she sent us a long email about some new fangled jab they've introduced in the States for a behavioural disorder and said in the email 'well, the mother of my granddaughters (could only be me,her other kids have sons) will probably go ahead and vaccinate for this because she always does as she's told by the medical profession. She probably doesn't want her kids to have minds of their own. (referring to the fact that the vaccine is supposed to help with behaviour problems, thus making them more compliant)
I was hopping mad because a) she sent the email to several people and refers to me in the 3rd person. b) how bloody dare she talk down to me in an offensive, patronising way.
So I checked with dh, asked him if it was OK if I told her to Fuck Off, he said Sure, go for it (before sending her an email telling her how disgusted he was with her), I sent it and she then sent one back saying I should 'get a sense of humour'. WTAF? This made me even more sure I was right to tell the stupid mare to fuck off and I've now blocked her, so she can't email me any more crap. But how rude is she? Am beginning to seriously consider the possibility that she's mentally ill or something.
