To want to write a cryptic Facebook status about selfish bitches?!

FUMING. My mum is 70 this year, hadn't made any set plans but she was hoping her family and friends would drop in to see her on the day and she would do buffet type food and drink and I was planning on making a birthday cake for her. We, as in her immediate family, were then taking her for a meal in the. evening.
My aunty has a daughter who is visiting from Australia (for about the third time in two years)for a couple if weeks either side of my mum's birthday. My aunty has booked a venue for a surprise welcome home party for her daughter on the exact day of mum's 70th birthday!
This upset my mum a little but I said never mind you'll still get to see everyone and I'll ask aunty if we can bring the cake and sing happy birthday to you there.
I just asked and she set word for word "I'll tell you what you just all carry on with your own plans for the day I won't mind that you are not there".
What a fucking bitch! I just said ok and hung up but I am FUMING and want her and the rest of the family to know that I think she is an utter bitch. A cryptic message on FB will do the job nicely - should I or should I leave it_

screenshotting, it isn't the cousin planning it. She knows nothing about it. It's the cousins mum, OPs aunt, OPs mum's sister who is planning it.

portia OPs mum is upset that this party means people won't be going to her house to celebrate her 70th, they'll be going to this surprise party.

Ah right so it's the Auntie at fault

Fishface77 · 25/05/2016 21:00

Your aunties a cunt. And so are lots of people. Put that on Facebook. Put some people are cunts. Tag your auntie. Drink more wine.

Great summing up unicorn

Especially the last line Grin

28DegreesIsTooHot · 25/05/2016 21:03

Invite your cousin to your mums 70th.
What time is the party? Would people come to your mums for a brunch or lunch? It seems such a shame that your mum has abandoned plans to celebrate her 70th.

MrsJen3 · 25/05/2016 21:03

Beyourself - thanks for that, I'm too pissed to explain right now and you did it far better than could even if in was soberSmile

I gave up rtft when it took a turn for the worse.

My tuppence worth is that your Aunt is jealous that her sister has you - you sound like a lovely daughter and you are here.

He daughter is in Oz. She may well be lovely but she is not here.

PortiaCastis · 25/05/2016 21:08

I would call her Auntie Cunt forevermore !

MrsJen3 · 25/05/2016 21:21

Her daughter is in Oz and her son is in New York - I can't think why!

Thanks. Grin I'm very straight to the point. I really don't bet how it was confusing though, and I can be confused at the best of times.

Have you decided what you are going to do? Drunken phonecalls to the old witch? Grin

YABVU even suggesting posting a 'cryptic Facebook status' about anything.

As you said your Mother will be turning 70, i'm assuming that you're not 13 years old. If you have a problem with someone, do the adult thing and discuss it with them!

I really cannot stand this passive aggressive Facebook bullshit, whatever the reason.

Myusernameismyusername · 26/05/2016 01:05

I usually delete people from FB who do this and deny them the satisfaction of them ever getting a response from me
Grin

Myusernameismyusername · 26/05/2016 01:07

I know it's upsetting but what if you have a fabulous party without them and splash how brilliant it was on FB with no mention of them at all? That surely must be quite satisfying

PoppieD · 26/05/2016 01:18

Please someone correct me if am being dim, but can people not do both? If OPs mum has no set time for people to be there?

Baconyum · 26/05/2016 01:38

I'd be making damn sure everyone invited to the surprise party knee what was going on and was invited to your mum's.

That way you haven't spoiled the surprise by telling cousin but I'll bet she'll get a few Hmm looks at the party!

Selfish cow!

My father's side are very toxic though none will admit, 2 of my gp's children emigrated too.

Baconyum · 26/05/2016 01:40

Poppies I suspect because

The aunt seems determined for it to be the cousin's aunts day

The timing is messing with how ops family normally does these things
