in trouble with DIL again

398 replies

itainthalfhot · 22/07/2024 11:23

my DIL posts on insta and facebook multiple times a day, always about the baby, baby has been to this class or that event, always happy smily pictures, but they do get annoying after a while.

anyway, i've muted her.. we also have a family chat, and i use this to catch up with things on a regular basis.

i received a message last night asking why i hadn't commented on her post about the fact that baby had chickenpox and that didn't i care about him? i mentioned that i 'must have missed it'...

we'd had a chat on our whats app group earlier that day, and there was no mention of chickenpox there?

so i've had to go to inta, trawl through her many posts and comment! its ridiculous. it seems i can never do right for doing wrong!

AIBU by not commenting on the post?
YANBU she should have simply told me when we chatted earlier in the day?

@Leggyhermit it's right not write and MIL does see the photos!

Hope that helps you and is a lesson not to just jump on other people's posts agreeing with them, without actually checking its correct information first.

@Homedesign123 I'm not sure even your edited version makes any sense? You've typed utter nonsense! Very amusing though, I must say Grin.

Another one with comprehension issues.

Bluebirdover · 25/07/2024 11:30

@Homedesign123 good to see you back on the thread though.....

Especially with such an eloquent and well worded post!

Were you not leaving, twice? Because you were so triggered and so cross about a comment OP made?

@Homedesign123 it certainly is good to see you back, it's almost like you never flounced off.

Twice!

She asked...and you answered honestly that you did not know....end of. Not worth rehashing is it?
Don't over think or worry about it.

You can always put up an announcement that you are having a rest from social media for a few months so any real news will need to be phoned or texted or communicated in person..

when you say flounced off do you mean continued on with my life? didn't check up on the irrelevant ramblings of OP trying to back peddle and bat off people who disagreed with her, and you her trusty sidekick 😂

Homedesign123 · 25/07/2024 11:44

Oh no reported my comments, I'm really upset.

I can tell that, very triggered again.

Homedesign123 · 25/07/2024 11:51

Oh honey I am so not threatened by you 💃

@Bluebirdover

Edited

Having read your other threads, I suggest you'd be better placed dealing with your "real" issues than coming on here attacking me.

I also said triggered, not threatened. You're reading things that just aren't being said.

Now I suggest you leave me alone?

@itainthalfhot did you actually understand what that was meant to be saying? Because I didn't!

Can't understand why you don't want to see pictures of your grandchild. Glad your not my mother in law!

ah another one who has not read the post properly... well done... slow hand clap for you

You two must have been living under a rock the last year if you don't know who gypsie rose is. Her mother pretended she was ill/ disabled her whole life, then she realised it was all lies and killed her mother. She's recently been released from prison and is doing crazy thing on social media. She said "oh honey I am so not threatened by you, my man wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole" someone turned it into a song, it's a bop. Check it out, my man my man my man my man. 💃

Homedesign123 · 25/07/2024 13:52

But no I'm not back, can't be bothered with you two anymore, you're boring me now.

Leggyhermit · 25/07/2024 10:28

Must say I agree! Anytime a MIL says sometimes on here you'll always get the people who come on and say "oh MIL's can't do anything write on mums names they're perpetually hated" but I don't think that's true.

I love my MIL! in many ways she's a lot kinder to me and more of a mother figure to me than my own mother. I have no MIL agenda. But there are MIL who because of their own actions get hate. But it's all smoothed over by calling people simply nasty towards mother in laws. it's so silly. 🤪 take accountability for the fact you might be the problem MIL

again... another person who has not read the post! i shall re-iterate just for those late comers to the party.

i purchased an interactive photo frame which everyone has access too, photos of the grandbabies are dropped in there all day everyday, not just those deemed suitable for SM.

i do have another GC who's parents have decided that their child will not appear on SM and they love that they can share photos without worrying.

its not just photo's of the baby thats being shared by DIL. its the 'oh woe is me posts' the 'weve been shopping' the 'which celebrity do you look like' the 'lost dog in ukraine please shares'. its none stop! from morning til night and i muted her because i did not know how to stop my phone from having a fit for 12 hours a day with notifications.

a kind poster has told me what to do, and i have now done it.. and you will be delighted to know that DIL is no longer muted.

so sometimes, it helps to just read a bit further before judging
