Don’t want Mother to know about AD’s

[GrannyBags]

I’ve been on anti depressants for a while. My DM doesn’t know and I don’t want her to. At Easter we are all going to my parents villa in Spain. I know she will do some snooping when we are out. I thought about taking the tablets out of the packaging but worried I might get stopped at customs. Last night I had a whole plan worked out involving taking a spare empty container and decanting them when we get there. My husband thinks I’ve lost the plot. AIBU?

Just keep them in a secret compartment in your suitcase or handbag, or bumbag. Or put them in DH's luggage 🤷‍♀️

Put a lock on your suitcase and keep them in there?

Make up bag with a little padlock. Tell her your sex toy lives in there.
Should shut her up.

Would she actually look in your toiletry bag?

Take enough for your trip and keep them in your handbag in the zipped bit. Why is she so nosey??

Take them in the box, decant them into a multivit bottle after you get to the villa and bin the packaging.

Why would you go away and share accommodation with someone you know will snoop through your stuff??

Keep them in your handbag in a makeup bag?

What about keeping packet inside rolled up socks? She surely won’t unroll them?

I think your DH is right. You have lost the plot to want to holiday with someone who will go through your things.

She is that nosy and she is the reason (partly) that I’m on them which is why I don’t want her to know.

Bloody hell your mum will snoop through your things when you're out?! I'd just keep them on a padlocked bag/box or have them in my handbag. To be honest I wouldn't want to go on holiday with someone who was likely to snoop through all my things!

Put them in your hand luggage. Transfer to somewhere discreet after arrival. Inside a shoe or rolled up sock. In a tampon box.

If a) your mum is partly the reason you're on ADs and b) she's so bloody rude / nosey, why are you even going on holiday with her?????

Sounds to me like a shitstorm waiting to happen.

And you should always keep prescription medication in the original packaging and you may well get stopped at customs. If you're carrying an unmarked bottle, they'll be suspicious.

Just keep them in your handbag and bring it with you!

I think worrying about this now, when you're not going for weeks, is a little odd.
You can easily slip them in your bag/purse and keep them on you.
Or, if you were particularly paranoid, hide them under a flower pot or something in a neutral part of the house.
Or, maybe either tell her to.mind her own business or, ideally, not give a shit

By worrying about this, and making it the focus of your plans, you are making your mother far too important in your life. You are not a child any more and you no longer have to answer to her
I think you need to start acting like the adult child and not give a monkey's what she thinks

I don't understand why you're going to stay with someone who's part of the reason you have clinical depression.

Why are you going on holiday with someone who snoops through your things and whose behaviour depresses you? Why?

Just tell her you are on anti depressants and if she wants to know why, tell her why. Be a grown up.

Another one asking why you’re going on holiday with her. If she’s like that isn’t no holiday better?

But if you do really want to go... just keep them in your handbag and on your person at all times?

I’d just padlock your suitcase up again once you have unpacked and leave them in there or else put them in your DH’s toiletry bag.

Just tell her you are on anti depressants and if she wants to know why, tell her why. Be a grown up.

Why should she do this if she doesn’t want to? It’s none of her mother’s business.

Why on earth are you going on holiday with someone who is causing you to be on antidepressants?

Don't go on the holiday, look after yourself
