For asking her to put some knickers on?

Away for 2 nights with my mum. She booked accomodation and, as always, hasn't booked enough beds so we're sharing a double. It's hot here and we're both wearing short cotton nighties. I've got pants on because we're sharing a bed. Just asked her to do the same and she refused, told me her nighty covered her. I said it doesn't and that's how I know she's not wearing any knickers. She told me to stop being bossy and then said I'm good at always spoiling nice things. Who was unreasonable?

The issue is that it wasnt covered. She was lying in bed on top of the covers with a very short nighty/long top not covering her.

That is seriously grim

@flooopers why do you keep coming on to say the same thing?

Oh MY, This has made me laugh. A daughter and her Mother,who has no knickers on. She probably had no knickers on the night you were conceived..and she might sleep without knickers on all the time..It's just her style. It's the least,and silliest thing to get up tight about, enjoy your holiday.!

You are both adults in a warm climate and want to be comfortable, what is the real problem? Coz it shouldn't be no pants between mother / daughter

RightYesButNo · 21/07/2019 01:09

Erm, doesn’t look like a perv thread because advanced search shows the OP has been around and commenting normally for ages.

YANBU, OP. Sounds like a grim situation and it sounds like she’s totally unreasonable. Can I ask, not judging, but why did you go away with her in the first place if you have a rocky relationship?

RaymondReddingtonsMrs · 21/07/2019 01:11

I wouldn't like this and understand your point of view entirely.

MashedSpud · 21/07/2019 01:12

Yanbu.

I have already pointed that out twice RightYesButNo

recklessruby · 21/07/2019 01:29

Yanbu OP that is just grim.
It s hot here at the moment but i m wearing pyjama shorts and t shirt. I m not going to wander around the house where dc can see all the gross bits.
And tbh i wouldn't want to.

notangelinajolie · 21/07/2019 01:29

You should book the room next time.
I'd say no knickers is grim for sharing a bed. But seeing as it's you mum I think you should just forget it - stay where you are on the settee and go to sleep.

AllSweetnessAndLight · 21/07/2019 01:40

😵 Will someone pass me the mind bleach?

Aridane · 21/07/2019 01:41

WTF with the knicker police this evening?

Birdie6 · 21/07/2019 01:51

as always she hasn't booked enough beds

There are two of you - how can she not book enough beds ? If this is how she rolls, I'd suggest that in future you offer to do the booking yourself . Problem solved.

WomanLikeMeLM · 21/07/2019 01:53

Her and her foof are the reason you are alive and complaining on AIBU 😂

Bambamber · 21/07/2019 01:56

Oh come on if I was sharing a bed with my mum and she had her muff hanging out I would ask her to cover up too. The only persons genitals I want to see are my husband's, and even then only when I actually want to

Rachelover40 · 21/07/2019 02:00

She should have been sensible and sensitive enough to put some pants on, nighties ride up and the last thing you want is your mum's bum against your leg.

However that's how it is. Don't let it spoil your trip.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 21/07/2019 02:05

Ew, ew ew ew, deffinitely not BU.
I loved my DM, but i would not have been comfortable seeing her genitals, especially not in the same bed pantsless! It's just good manners she should've had them on without being asked, sharing a bed with someone elses bodily fluids is just grim.

hadthesnip2 · 21/07/2019 02:09

How old are you both....?? I cant imagine any mother sharing a bed with her daughter wearing a "nightie" that was short enough that it didnt cover her up adequately. Did her "nightie" have a slogan on it or just a pair of red lips.....

PotatoesDieInHotCars · 21/07/2019 02:12

Have you tried not looking?

Greeborising · 21/07/2019 02:13

This whole thread made me laugh!
I loved my mum so much (sadly gone) but if we were in that situation I can only imagine the conversation,
“If your fan so much as touches my effing leg you are on the sofa” (that would be her)
Seriously, you do not book a double with your mum, but if it happens you put pillows between you and at least you can fart knowing you are with someone who loves you

Mumsnet is cluttered with these weird threads now. It is difficult to find anything normal to post on.
