To not give my mum my address?

[Tsubasa1]

My mother is driving me to the end of my tether. Ever since before the lockdown started she has been asking me for my address to send me god knows what... stuff for the kids, eastsr eggs and books are things she has mentioned. I fear she is just using it as an excuse to go to the post office (to get out of the house). She says its safe because people keep their distance there.
In my opinion its taking an unecessary risk because i dont need those things right now and id preffer if she sent me then after this whole thing is over.
I live abroad and we are in lockdown. But people here dont understand social distancing that well and whoever brings us the package might come close to us within 2 metres or less.
On a side note: my mum is 64 and she has kept volunteering at the food bank because apparently there aren't enough volunteers. This is putting her at great risk but she doesn't care one bit.
YABU: Give her your address!!
YANBU: Dont give her your address until after lockdown.

The weirdest part is the fact she doesn’t have your address in the first place!

Are you seriously saying that your mother doesn’t know your address? Why? (I’m assuming you’re not NC with her and that your relationship is otherwise ok). YABU for that alone.

You are further BU for implying that, at 64, she is elderly. I’m 66 and far from old, I can assure you.

How does she not know your address in the first place?

Won't she just send it to your previous address?

She doesnt know my address because i just moved to a new flat 2 months ago!

@MrsExpo but if she contracted the virus she could struggle and with the nhs as it is she might not be able to get through it! That's my fear

But she's your mother does you have a strained relationship with her?

Strange why dont you give her your address, if you are in another country?

This is fucking weird.

Too weird, mind you its a Friday night

Because of the reasons stated above

About half of you have voted YANBU... so do I have a point?

Delivery drivers are complaining about people ordering unecessary items online and putting them at risk. Surely an unecessary parcel sent at this time is the same??

Why didn’t you give it to her when you moved?! Of course your mum should have your address! Unless you are no contact or she’s dangerous. Weird

@Megan2018 i would give her my address after the lockdown.... because i dont want any deliveries at the moment. To not take an unecessary risk

Bless your mum for volunteering with the food bank. That’s so very kind of her.
I can’t believe your mum doesn’t have you address that’s ridiculous

64 year olds are not in a vulnerable group unless they have underlying health issues.

@LocalHobo she has a weak immune system but otherwise healthy.

You mum is doing a good thing, by helping the food bank.

@vodkaredbullgirl Yes you are right

You moved 2 months ago, why didnt you give her your new address then?

YANBU, it's not essential by any stretch of the imagination and could put her at risk whether or not she's in a vulnerable group

@amijustparanoidorjuststoned We have a good relationship, just forgot to give her my address when I moved!

I find it so odd she doesn’t know where you live after 2 months

Thank you @FinnsLeftSpoon!
