To be pissed off by this?!

[Hye000]

So… my partner’s mother introduced me to her builders the other day when I went round there to drop my youngest DC off as I was going to work. I have met them before but only in passing. Anyway, she introduced me as “this is my granddaughters mother”

I mean, wtf?! Me and her son have been together nearly 9 years!!! Would it have killed her to say “partner”, she could have even just said daughter in law… the builders wouldn’t have cared. I felt so embarrassed as even the builder was trying to work it out in his head I could tell. By the way, they have met my partner before as he has told me he has had conversations at length with one of them. It’s really just rubbed me up the wrong way and made me question how she really feels about me

Christ OP why did you bother starting this thread and back-peddling if you are so so adamant that you're right?

it would appear so!

But this is what struck me… the pathetic partner not stopping his mother disrespect his partner’s children like this

my kids are always being commented and criticised. If I tell her one of my kids did something she will straight away make a comparison to the other GC like “oh yeah X did that the other day” just makes me roll my eyes in my head. I’ve learnt tolerate for my partners sake

All sounds very unpleasant for the poor kids involved
