This is probably goining to sound funny and I must admit I may have found it slightly amusing but its wearing a bit thin now.
My mother is 83 and lives alone. She's got all her marbles although does repeat herself having forgotton what she's told to whom and when. She's started repeating a phrase she first came out with on a visit last year we went to a flower show together and visited the loos. She tends to take ages and so I was waiting fro her when she came out. "oooh she exclaimed" "I've never known anyone get their knickers down and up as fast as you". She now repeats her view that I am swift with my , er, underwear, wherever in the company of other family members including my 22 year old daughter. I'm finding this embarassing, have asked her not to do it but she says she's only having a giggle. AIBU to be a bit more forceful? She's not a stragner to inappropriate and often humililating story telling at her daughter's expense, it's a characteristic I grew up with. She has has also done bizarre things like maintain contact with my ex husband who I divorced on the grounds of physical and emotional abuse- she sends him and his new family christmas cards and their kids pocket money. It's like she has no awareness of my feelings! ABIU to be more forceful in asking her to not repeat this again?
