Just want a rant really.
My mother has been back from her holiday for just under a week. She lives in our annex and looks after my daughter in our home when I am at work, and when I am not working she goes to stay with my sister. I am trying to start up a new job at the moment as I cannot do my regular job when pregnant (I am 13 weeks atm.) So I am at home and she is at home too.
So far, since getting back from holiday, she has told me it was my fault her dogs nearly killed one of my chickens because I didn't look after her dogs well enough while she was away (I didn't actually volunteer to look after them, nor was I asked. They were just left with me with an assumption.) She then told me it was my fault her dogs chewed my pony's grooming kit because I had foolishly left my brushes in the pony's stable and that's 'the dogs' stable. They need to go in a stable now because they have destroyed the dog run (that's how they got out and let the chickens out too.)
This morning I was on the phone to the PALS service from the hospital where I had DD, explaining that I would like to access my notes due to various problems last time that I would like to avoid this time, and my mother very loudly said 'Oh, give it a rest!' I asked the lady on the phone to excuse me a minute and then told my mother to shut up or get out. She left.
She has told me repeatedly that I am 'going on' about my daughter's birth whenever I speak to healthcare professionals on the phone. She always seems to be lurking there to pass comment. She also goes on about my sister having no trouble with the NHS with either of her babies (I am using an independent midwife and having private scans.) She often comments that there must be something wrong with me as all 3 of her babies 'fell out.'
I am struggling to get any information out of the NHS atm, and it is taking a lot of letters and phone calls to try and get my notes (I know I am legally entitled to them, but trying to get them out of the hospital with any sense of urgency is proving difficult. So far they have acknowledged that I have applied for them and have stated they are in a queue. Apparently the 40 days to provide them starts from when they start processing the application, not when they receive it.) The last thing I need is my mother making unhelpful comments that the woman on the other end of the phone can hear.
I suppose I need to add an AIBU to justify my post, so AIBU to have told her to shut up or get out? She thinks I am!
