AIBU about my Mum!

[BusyBee2017]

So I have come on holiday with my mum to visit her Mum! But I cannot stand how she acts around another family member she has decided to bring with her on the trip! She has brought my sister in laws mother and I have noticed a side of her which I really dislike.

Since coming on this holiday she is so stuck up her daughter in law's mothers ass! All they seem to be doing is bitching about ALL of their kids and daughter in laws!

I am really disliking this side of my Mum!

Am I being unreasonable? Yes they are having conversation but so much more to talk about rather than bitching and moaning about your kids and daughter in laws! And that includes me my own mother is bitching about.

I have two kids with me on the trip both under 2 and it's like she is so stuck up her ass bitching and moaning that she is not spending quality time with her own grandsons and me! I'm not bothered about her spending quality time with me but my kids yes! Quality time as in play and have fun with them! She just follows the aunty around and when we are out she just waits around for her or follows her around the shops! Leaving me and the kids on our todd even though I am the driver and navigator of the trip and looking after two kids!

Freaking stuck with them on the plane back too! I might just ask the check in guy if they can put me and the kids seats far away from my mum and sister in laws mother!

Gosh sounds like I'm.bitching and moaning too now about my Mum! But I can see why my brother says to me he's heard mum bitching about him to people and how it makes him so angry.

Well when you hear her slagging you off, why don't you point out you've come on holiday with her and brought her grandkids for so called quality time. You're still waiting and so are the children.
When my mum starts being negative about people,I change the subject or call her on it. I suggest you do the same.

You're slagging her off too here. At least she has the guts to do it in front of you.

I'd have to say something when they are in full swing.
Something like how lucky they are to be so perfect or do you have nothing nice to say about anyone.

Not sure why you brought your brother into this, I guess to support your view of your mum.

You sound very immature, the way you write, the very clear jealousy about her spending time with this woman and not with you and your kids.

You're slagging her off too here. At least she has the guts to do it in front of you.

Really? It's better that the mum is slagging off her daughter to someone else in front of her than OP who is letting off steam anonymously? Ridiculous.

It doesn't take 'guts' to bitch about someone in front of them. It's unpleasant. I think you need to call her out (icelollies text is good) or don't be their navigator. I'd say it seems like you're not enjoying our company due to your saying x, y and z so perhaps we should have some time doing different things. Spend a day with your kids where you don't have to listen to it.
