As some MNetters will know, due to DV in my relationship i had to leave and come to my mothers house, I'm 24 weeks pregnant.
Anyhow, I was just sat at the table on my laptop surfing through facebook, I got a message and it made that weird "Ding" sound. my mother stuck her face over my shoulder and went "Oh who's jamie?" (Made up name). I told her to mind her own and closed my laptop lid. she does this often, More so with my iPod, I have a few chat apps on it and sometimes acquaintances or old friends will message me on kik and the like to see how im doing. If I leave my iPod on the kitchen unit for example my mother will go "Who's dan? who's beth? who's john? who's luke? Where did you meet john? why are you talking to john? are you dating john? do you like john? is he single?"
suspect I am being unreasonable, but is there not a fine line between showing an interest and downright snooping? don't want to drip feed, but I think it stems from a few years back when I lost my first rented house (Floods across south wales) and had to move in for a few months and found her going through my facebook messages, iPod, laptop and phone.
