My partner and I had our second baby 8 days ago. We have an almost 7 year old who is ASD and my mum is the only family we have down here to help.
My mum doesn't like my partner very much so I'm wondering if this is what caused today's events.
We had to take baby for an appointment which would have been cutting it fine for being back home in time for my son's support workers to drop him off if we got delayed at the hospital, so I asked my mum if she could come to mine for that time just to make sure someone was there but said all being well we may be back in time anyway. She didn't mind this as was already over our way and I thought she would like to see the baby.
Appointment ran on time and was very quick so I called her when we were on our way back just to let her know and she said she would wait for us to get back and that she was sat in her car currently.
When we drove past her car neither of us noticed her in there so assumed she had gone into the house. Got in the house and she wasn't there so I sent a text saying "we're back now" assuming she would come in. She text me back saying I had been really rude.
Confused, I called her and she had a go at me saying it was so rude how we had driven past her car and not even acknowledged her. I said neither of us saw you in there so thought you were inside. She started going on about how my partner obviously saw her in the car and did it on purpose, said she was leaving and wouldn't come in and hung up on me.
I'm really upset by this, probably because of hormones and being overtired but I didn't think I did anything wrong? I genuinely didn't see her in the car and thought she was in the house. Then thought texting her that we were back would be fine..didn't think it was rude.
Did I do something wrong here? I am sensitive at the best.of times so really hate having conflict or drama, especially as she is my only family and the only person I have.
