My OH mother smashed up mothers day stuff from DD over a blow up bed am I being ABIU for telling her that is disgusting for her to do that and take it out on a 5 months old baby for an argument over a blow up bed?

I must admit I'm struggling to believe that a grown woman would purposely smash a present up from her first grandchild and text the pictures to her son.

The stuff from ds

This isn't normal behaviour. She needs help.

Mummytomydumplingxx · 12/06/2016 20:33

OH dad gets treated like dirt and says nothing for the shake of their DDs so she gets away with it I'm the 1st person to ever tell her What's she's has done/is doing is wrong and disgusting

Why did you buy an adult a couple of kiddy toys?

Surely a bunch of flowers or box of naice chocolates would be more age-appropriate?

No excuse to disembowel them though.

This is an odd thread. A lot of it doesn't make sense.

PerpendicularVincent · 12/06/2016 20:50

She sounds like an arse, and stropping and destroying things is way over the top. Stop making an effort and stop buying gifts.

Mummytomydumplingxx · 12/06/2016 20:50

Kissmyass I bought them as it was her 1st mothers day as a 1st time grandma as something she could keep to remember it

You can see her toes in that pic!

She did that.... Stood over it and took a pic....all done to seek attention

Waltermittythesequel · 12/06/2016 20:57

I don't understand this at all.

You say you lent the bed??

How did it escalate from "are you finished with the bed?" to ripping the stuffing out of toys?? Confused

susiebear · 12/06/2016 20:57

She sounds very odd and do something like that over a trivial matter, I'd be concerned as to what else she would do. It is thoughtful of you to get her a present from the grandchild to her (I was raised that way and I do that also for the grandmothers and I'd be upset as it shows a complete lack of gratitude. Don't get her anything next year and if she asks why, show her the pictures she sent you. Or be a complete bitch and have those pictures framed and give them as a gift

Dumplings are for eating.

FructoseTart · 12/06/2016 21:03

It doesn't make sense to me.

Mummytomydumplingxx · 12/06/2016 21:03

I don't know how it went that far she phoned asked if we was done with it and we said yes thane she had ago because we didny tell her we was done with it as we only got our bed today's ago then OH got pics of the stuff smashed up and a text telling him he was dead to her he's dad came and got the bed over 3 hours later after I told her what she did was disgusting and it's due to her actions that she won't see DS again she never replied to that

OP posts:
Mummytomydumplingxx · 12/06/2016 21:05

She's told OH she's dead to her when he came to see me and DS before we moved in together after she told him he wasn't allowed to see me or he's son.

I know mothers day was in March that's when I gave her the gifts from ds and she smashed them up today

Keep your baby well away from her. It does not sound safe. She seems bit evil.

I don't see how stating when mothers day was has anything todo with her smashing the stuff form ds up over a blow up bed it does not matter when she got the gifts the fact is she smashed them up over an inflatable bed

OP posts:
Mummytomydumplingxx · 12/06/2016 21:11
