It doesn't seem real.

I was struggling to believe it too. How could anybody think this was remotely OK? Her DD and family need to get the hell away from her. Sounds like the GC are getting cheeses off

I read this and felt so sorry for the son in law more than anything. Imagine waking up to find your mil at the end of your bed!

I read that this morning, bloody hell that woman has major issues. Letting herself in and sitting on their bed whilst they are sleeping being one of them.

It's obviously been written up by a Mail journalist to show her in the worst possible light. No way is that her voice. I'm betting the journalist embellished it.

I get on well with my MIL and my DH gets on well with my Mum but I’m glad we live 200 miles away from them both, not that either of them would ever, ever behave like this woman and how they all put up with her, fk knows!!

My kids would disown me.

There’s absolutely no need to be so interfering in your children’s lives. She’s 33 fgs, both she and her husband need to tel her mother to back off.

Her daughter should turn off her tracking - easily done. What a stupid story. Helicopter parents are the pits at any stage but this is next level batshit.

Omg she needs help! I can't believe the daughter actually goes along with this.

I can believe this is true

My ds dated a woman of 19 a few years ago

She lived with her mother,stepfather and sister

My ds did say something about the mother being a bit controlling but I had to see it to believe it

We live over 100 miles away,so they said they'd come to visit us

Jesus,you would have thought the queen was coming

Endless phone calls,they where on about coming down to check out our house to make sure it was 'up to our standards',they wanted to know our jobs,salaries,hours and backgrounds and wanted a low-down of our house,how much we'd paid for it and the area we live in

They wanted to know what brands of food she'd be eating,brands of drinks,where we food shopped,where our mattresses and beds came from,what programmes we watch on tv-i swear the list was a mile long

They where refusing to allow her to come as we refused to give them this information-I'm ds's mum-thats enough

Finally they 'allowed' her to drive down-endless video calls-wanting to look round our house,wanting to know where we where going,and we where meant to hang about,waiting for them to google to 'see if she was allowed to go'

Longest week of my life-ds and I where saying its not normal and her saying her parents where a 'bit controlling'

They where even checking her phone and laptop remotely the whole time-she said they do that a lot

They choose her career,clothes,food,car,how she spent her wages,how she had her hair-you name it,they had a say in it

They went home-ds was suddenly dumped as her mum had told her to finish with him as 'he's not toeing the line'

Poor lass-i hope that one day she gets away from them but I doubt it

This can’t be real. No one can be that lacking in self awareness, surely?

Why would you go to the paper about this?

I would be shocked but many MNers admit to tracking their partners phones and so I don’t this as that big of a stretch.

As told by Samantha Brick, at the top. Definitely fake.

I even picked Hannah's wedding dress. Like most brides her age she wanted a strapless number, but she'd recently given birth to their first child, Isabella, so I coaxed her to try a more flattering style with sleeves

What a cow.

But also, I have a pretty low opinion of the daughter going along with this, especially when it comes to her children.

She's been in the papers before for being a meddlesome neighbour. She must be contacting them herself. Not sure why as she comes across as a bit of a twat.

I am not sure. It may well be fake but there are a LOT of parents out there like this, my own Mum was one. We lived together at one point (jointly owned house, lots of background and reasons to this) and when I was 29 (!) she used to go and turn off the wifi at 10.30pm when I was using it as she thought I should be going to bed 😳😳 we used to argue non stop about it. (I mean she died in 2019 and we had a really difficult relationship).

My dh works with someone who tracks all 3 of her adult children via their phones.

We had been close throughout Hannah's teenage years ac(bk then, I'd keep track of her through frequent phone calls), but she was only 16 when she got together with the father of her eldest daughter, Elise, becoming a mum just a year later.

While I adore my granddaughter, being a mum at such a young age certainly wasn't what I had planned for Hannah. And I didn't approve of her partner either. He was six years older and, in my view, exercised an awfully tight grip over her.

However, Hannah didn't appreciate me sharing my views. She moved out and I had no idea where they went. When I tried to call her, she'd cut me off. I eventually managed to find out where they were living and would regularly send her care packages; my heart would break when they'd come back marked 'return to sender'.
Eventually, I knew I had to stop trying or I would go insane.

I only got her back after they split up. Time apart had allowed Hannah to miss me and realise she needed me in her life. Since then, I'd go so far as to call us best friends. And surely she would cut me off again if she minded me interfering.

In other words:

the mother was controlling and overly strict when her DD was younger.
The old truism about strict parents having sneaky children apparently proved to be true.
And instead of finding independence she found herself in a controlling relationship with an older man (and had her first child at 17). Which isn´t particularly surprising when one equates love with control / coercion.

After the breakup the daughter still did not manage to truly find freedom but went back to her mother. the first relationship she ever had. Which was also controlling and lacking boundaries.

that is just really sad. The mother´s own backstory makes it worse.

And why is the DM even printing such nonsense? This honestly feels rather voyeuristic and I feel a bit uneasy after reading it. Probably shouldn´t have clicked on that link, tbh.

She didn't like her daughters first husband as she felt he held too tight a grip over her! You couldn't make it up.

I've changed my mind about it being fake, she's just an attention seeker and incredibly annoying. There are quite a few articles about her on Google.

There's another thread on this. She's a professional troll.

That´s honestly good to know!

Literally just about to say this. No way did she write this.

Link to other thread where you can see a bunch of examples of her previous work:

That's what I thought when another poster linked to her other made up rubbish!

Omg the other articles!

She needs serious mental treatment, and the daughter needs to move to Australia!
