Visited parents for them to make stupid jokes.

[ThePerkyCoralPoet]

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?

I basically dealt with a colleague venting on me who regularly does this and I know their life sucks. But mentally I just can’t cope with that and my own low mood battle.

Are you getting help and support to deal with your low mood? x

Sorry you had a shitty day @ThePerkyCoralPoet and glad you managed to sort it out. Hope tomorrow is a good day 💐

Your poor mother. All well now until the next time...

OP if you are struggling with your own low mood at the moment, it may be a good idea (in a polite way) to just tell your colleague that right now, you just don’t have the mental capacity to listen.

That colleague is getting their frustrations out, venting to you to make themselves feel better, but that is then impacting your low mood.

As hard as it is to do that, and in a polite way, your needs are important too ❤️ And it IS ok to put your needs above their need to rant.. you need to look after you first and foremost!!

(says the woman who never puts my needs first haha! 😜)

Well, clearly you can't take a joke!

EDITED to say have now RTFT.well done for going back and apologising x

Well that makes her sound lovely

Yes very rude and bratty, have some respect. How childish to storm off too.

She was taking them some dinner not being rude.

My Dad used to repeat his stories endlessly.
What I would give to sit and listen to his most tedious stories again.

I'm glad you've made up.

My DM often repeats things she's told me (several times!), I'll often just listen again, nod and smile, but sometimes I'll say "Oh yes, you mentioned that..." or "I remember you saying, has anything come of it?", which seems to be a gentle way of saving having to listen again.

My DSis is less tolerant however, and will often snap at DM and say something like "Here we go again, how many times have we heard this story?", which seems to make DM feel small and embarrassed and she often says something like "Sorry, I know I'm really boring", which is really sad to hear.

Hopefully you and your DM will be more ready to give one another the benefit of the doubt from now on and hopefully save some hurt feelings.

The mum was BU backbiting about her colleague IMO, and having a go at her daughter when her daughter didn't agree with her and find it amusing.

You absolute star for going back. Hope you both feel much better ❤️

Why is it ok for you to make sarcastic jokey comments but not your mum? Who decides what comments are too far?

Edited as I've just seen you went back, well done you for recognising this was an overreaction.

If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out

you were sarcastic with your mum

your mum gave back as good as she got

you then dislike being treated in the same manner you were treating your mum

your reaction was to leave, you’d have been better apologising for your behaviours that lead to the whole situation

instead you behaved like a petulant child & continually do on this thread

take some responsibility for the situation you created

Glad you sorted it op.

I respect this a lot!

My mum sometimes goes on long rambles about people I don’t know, she never used to do this. I notice in particular because I remember her complaining about my grandma doing this when I was young. I think maybe it’s something that just happens as you get older. Anyway, the polite thing to do is nod and ‘mmm hmm’ and ‘oh yes’ you’re way through it and let it wash over you.

I’ve seen your update - well done x

Your mum matched your energy imo, the fact that you later hung up on her makes you sound like a petulant child. Life is too short for this pettiness - you were rude first and she called you out on it.

Well done OP. I'm glad you apologised. It really sounds like you were swept away by your emotions and needed some time to calm down.

Of course you were rude and she called you out. You need to apologise

Oh my gosh you put the phone down on your mum?! Calm down !!

@ThePerkyCoralPoet why did you have to drop their dinner off to them?? can they not cook for themselves??? do you have to do that every night??

And you need to at least read all of the OP's post, even if it's too long to read the entire thread. She has apologised and gone back to visit with her parents.
