To think this isn't neglect?

[KadieFae]

Popped to the shop leaving baby downstairs. DP upstairs listening out. Not asleep or dead or anything. Baby in playpen. Playing quietly. I was gone less than a minute (shop is essentially next door)

Sounds fine right?

My DM has phoned the SS on me. AIBU?

What a cah!!

Did she get it wrong and think you meant you popped out and left baby in playpen alone in house? Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Does she tend to exaggerate or would she really have rung ss?

I would be keeping her at arms length for a long time

If you know your mother is batshit and has form for over-reacting, why on earth do you feel the need to share the minutiae of your life with her?

You need to cut this woman out of your life. Just because she is your mother doesn't mean she's not a c*nt.

@KadieFae OP can you come back and help with some of the unanswered questions.
Did your DM explain.

Is your mum on mumsnet by any chance because 3% voted YABU. If not I would like to know who these equally batshit people are!
