My mum has deleted me on Facebook over a website?

[umwhyisthishappening]

My sister works for my mum part time helping making websites. I asked my sister if she could update my own website while she was at my house as she’s freelance and self-employed and I paid her for her time.

My mum has since kicked off, gone mad at my sister for doing this, and made her cry. She has then messaged me and told me that ‘I did this to my sister’ and deleted me on Facebook.

She’s angry because my sister has learned from her over the past couple of months. I didn’t ask my mum to update it because she had told me she was too busy and it would be months before she could help.

Perhaps I should have asked her but due to her declining before, I didn’t bother.

I’m away with my family and have been left feeling shit.

Who’s being unreasonable here?

Leave her to stew. She's being ridiculous and childish. Get on with your holiday and leave the ball in her court.

She is pissed because your sister did a job she turned down?

Fucking leave the drama llama to it get on with your own life

Your mother is the unreasonable one. Is she always difficult?

Wow! Is your mum usually this ridiculous?!

Yes she is, but usually with me and not with my sister - this is the first time I’ve seen my sister cry because of her.

I can’t stand it when adults act like toddlers.

Ignore her.

Your mum obviously didn’t want anyone to help you, so your sister spoilt her fun.

Oh and mum can’t believe dsis should have helped you, so you must have made her aka you did this to your dsis? You have corrupted golden child?

Oh my goodness what a drama queen. Don't get sucked in. You and your sister have done nothing wrong. Leave her to it.

Your mum is entirely unreasonable . It sounds as though you have damaged her fragile ego by asking your sister instead of her and she has flown into a narcissistic rage. Her problem, not yours. Soon she will be telling people how awful you are, turning people against you and she will be the victim People like this are toxic. I’m sorry she is your mother.

she's blocked you on facebook?

great, think of the time and stress you will save by not having to put up with her.

Have you mentioned your mum on here before. Sounds familiar? Agree your mum is bonkers

Is she definitely allowed to do freelance work? Is there anything in her contract which says she isnt allowed to freelance with anyone else without company permission?

It would be really odd for your mum to hire her with such a term, and even more odd to enforce it when she did a website for you, her sister. But given the reaction, your mum sounds a bit nuts so maybe...

That's mad!
Family is supposed to help one another out be it for free or mates rates! It was her own time!
Your moms being stupid, does she usually cause drama?
Is your sister young or afraid to speak up to your mom?

Your mums in the wrong and acting very childishly

Leave her to it. Let her make contact with you first. As to your sister all you can do is be there for her, and encourage her to find work away from your mother

I was thinking maybe this OP is the sister of last week's OP whose mom was mad at her for having a similar business.

Jeez, your mum shoot be rooting for you AND your sister. Will it effect her business, a similar company or something?

@steff13 I thought the same

btw

change your FB settings to "Friends Only" and unfriend her so she can't see what you post.

Unless she asks you to be her friend

ha ha

Your mother is a fucking maniac, and I'll bet my house she has form for this. You've probably dealt with this madness many times. I'd be going NC. Life is too short.

Any way you could get your sister more work so she isn't reliant upon the whims of a dickhead for a living?

It’s worrying that someone who is old enough to have two adult children thinks this is a reasonable way to behave. I’d be disappointed in my eight year-old niece if she acted like this.

Does your sister have a contract with your mum saying she mustn't take on work for anyone else while working with her?
Was she meant to be working on something with your mum but prioritised yours?

These are the only reasons I can think of for your mum to be a bit annoyed. But her reaction is way OTT.
