to want my mum to keep out of my friendships

[bingbangbing65]

i’m 25 and my mum is really starting to grate on me when it comes to my friendships. i have 2 young kids and struggled with making friends for a long time but have now started going to a regular playgroup and am meeting other mums there who i see fairly regularly - my mum keeps commenting on posts on facebook either to them (e.g. say one commented on my picture my mum would reply to them saying oh bingbang said she had such a good time with you on wednesday!) or it is to complete strangers who attend the playgroup (e.g. yesterday someone commented on the playgroups facebook post with a picture of their child there and my mum replied to them saying @ bingbang goes here she’d love to meet you!) like wtf. and then today she commented on the same post of theirs saying how great the playgroup is for mums who want to meet other mums.

i understand she’s seen me struggle with loneliness but i feel like i’m just getting back into friendships and now she’s making me feel weird about them. what would you do? just leave it? am i overreacting?

You're gonna have to put Mum on Limited on facebook so she can't see what you're up to on there.

@AmbleInAnnBoleyn its not even what i’m up to though it’s normally not my posts - it’s random posts that have nothing to do with me by the playgroup etc

Yeah I’m afraid that would come across as quite strange to people. She’s really overstepping the mark with that

Just have a word with her and ask her not to?

Politely explain that although you know she means well, it's not the done thing and it's actually embarrassing you. Ask her how many other mums of mums are commenting like this. Exactly. None. Stop it. Thank you.
