Am fuming over something I think is actually quite trivial.

MIL on phone to her friend today, on speakerphone. I am there with baby DS and friend is aware she is on speaker, and that I am present.

Discussion turns to the upcoming wedding of a friend we all know. It is a low key do and I have been asked to do the bride's hair. I am not a hairdresser (at all) but I'm a bit deft at fancy updos and have done this before. I did MIL's hair for SIL's wedding a year ago.

MIL is describing the style to her friend. Friend snorts and goes 'well, good luck with that after the mess that Belle perpetrated on you last year'

Cue awkward silence while we all pretend that no one just heard the pinchy faced cow friend be rude about me (and also MIL) on speaker for us all to hear.

Now. I am fuming as this woman has form for being really rude to and about me, and my kids, and my house, and my figure. BUT. Mil didn't say anything. To me or in reply. Does this mean that a) MIL hated her hair and this is a conversation they have had before? Or b) MIL liked her hair and friend is just rude but MIL didn't want to make a fuss? Or c) Maybe they all really genuinely think I didn't hear it.

Perpetrated? How do you perpetrate a hairstyle on someone?

Fume fume fume. Please come and call her names with me tell me I'm all grumpy over nothing?

Just had to Google Gibson tuck. Nice. Mil probably did like it until Pinchy Face commented negatively on a photo of it or something to which mil might have felt pressurised to agree with her friend's view.

Trust in yourself.

Pinchy face does not sound like a true friend to your MIL but like the type of petty person who always has to put others down. She probably insulted your MIL's hairstyle because she was jealous she was getting so many compliments. It can't have been bad if everyone else liked it. Your MIL is probably just afraid to stand up to her. Don't let pinchy face knock your confidence too! The Gibson tuck looks gorgeous, do my hair!
