Visited my parents to drop dinner over. Myum
kwpt waffling about something after work and I said “how many times have we heard this now” she then turned around and nudged my dad and said “ooh look at her. She’s rude. She’s not my daughter. My daughter is supposed to have manners” at which point I got in the car and ignored her and drove back to mine. She thinks I’m being unreasonable and a brat. I however. Think what she said was rude and stupid.

Aibu?

Excuse the typos. I’m typing in a furious rage because I’m annoyed.

YABU for not giving a good deal more context here.

She was talking about someone at work who keeps taking time off sick. That’s it. Then she said that and I lost my rag. Apparently it was a “joke” I wasn’t laughing therefore it wasn’t funny.

It does sound like you were quite rude?

Maray1967 · 26/11/2024 21:44

There must be some context - as what you said first appears to be very rude. My DF often tells me stories I’ve heard before - I just listen - again,

VestPantsandSocks · 26/11/2024 21:45

I think you were tired after work and over reacted.

I was saying it in a sarcastic jokey way. Not in a I’m sick of you way. Her comment was too far.

Am I missing something? Mum was waffling so you were rude to her and when she commented on that you stormed off?

BaklavaRocks · 26/11/2024 21:46

Blimey, you sound difficult

Dishwashersaurous · 26/11/2024 21:46

Both of you were rude

Yes, this is what I’ve made of it. You were rude to your mum.

Birdscratch · 26/11/2024 21:46

Are you part of the sandwich generation? Looking after your children and your parents?

This really. You sound like you were probably ruder than you realise and I would say you took your mum being a bit lighthearted in pointing that out to you very badly!

SabreIsMyFave · 26/11/2024 21:47

You were very rude though @ThePerkyCoralPoet So yeah YABU.

Thanksforyourlackofthought · 26/11/2024 21:47

Let it go. Sounds like you weren’t in the mood for it and mum was just being daft.
it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

How on earth was her comment any less favourable. It was downright ignorant. Then I’m told I can’t take a “joke”

Fucking daft behaviour then she rings me saying I over reacted. I put the phone down I’m not in the mood.

You are not sounding any nicer the more you post. I think you are in the wrong and you sound v high maintenance. Everyone that's posted so far can't see the issue and thinks you were rude ..

MrsSchnickelfritz · 26/11/2024 21:49

You were rude op. Yes it's tedious when people repeat themselves but your reaction to it was rude. I'd say your behaviour was worse than your mum's as you described it here.
