Hi all, i am very confused about my moms behaviour. She visited from abroad about 3 weeks ago, to help with the kids (2 months old and a 2 year and 2 month old) as my husband was going away for work for a couple of nights. She massively overstepped boundaries - i knew she would do it as shes always done it in the past - but i was desperate for help and thought i could deal with it for the sake of it.
Long story short, we clashed every day for a week - . It all culminated with her taking photos of my toddler on the potty. When i asked her to her to delete the photos as it is inappropriate to take them in the first place, she was super offended - said "fine i will delete them all then" as in all the photos of my daughter from this visit. I then decided to ask if she had sent photos of my daughter (generally, not potty ones) to other relatives including my brother who i am not in contact with (had a fall out some years ago, and never spoke again, he never met my daughter/s nor has he tried to make contact). I think its quite odd that she sent photos to someone that has shown absolutely 0 interest in my family.. 2 days later she left in a very dramatic manner , just before getting in the lift to go to the taxi she said "What has your brother ever done to you? think about that". She has not been in contact ever since - which is quite unusual as she normally texts me to ask about daughter/s and want to chat to the toddler on camera. My toddler sometimes asks about her , but I am not really sure what to say to her. To complicate things further, prior to this, I had booked her a ticket to come visit in February - but I am very tempted to cancel it if she does not reach out beforehand. I am ceirtantly not asking her to help with childcare anymore as it clearly does not work. I think that she will probably just try to use it and come visit as if nothing as happened (wouldnt be the first time she would react in such a manner).
What to do?! Just looking for other opinions on this whole thing..
