If I've volunteered the info I want you to know if not, it is PRIVATE

[narcissisticOverload]

DM thinks she has an absolute right to know EVERYTHING
Sometimes ill say "oh I'm just popping to the hairdresser/doctors/dentist"
Other times I don't say anything or if she knows I'm out I say it was just an appointment. She CANNOT cope with this and sulks.

AIBU to have told her straight that if I dont volunteer the info it's clearly private so to stop questions and trying to guess and it's awkward and intrusive ? She thinks I'm being "horrible" to her. She's nosy and I hate it

I'd be tempted to tell her increasingly convoluted stories about nude modelling, swingers' parties and almost getting spotted by a friend, going to visit a dealer.

Could've written this about my own mother. She literally wants to know everything I eat for every meal, what I'm doing later, what I'm planning on eating etc etc. It drives me insane and I get petty.
