Ok so bit of a back story - I am 14 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child I have a 8 and 5 year old too.

I hadn’t told any friends or family re pregnancy as wanted to wait till after the scan and planned to tell family on Mother’s Day.

I invited my mum for breakfast Mother’s Day as I had planned for the kids to tell my mum (we had told them the night before) anyway my mum turned round a few days later said she was now busy on Mother’s Day so she couldn’t see us. Which I said that’s fine lovely where you off to etc (she hasn’t really been anywhere with anyone for years) I asked if she got chance to pop in that day she could to which she then went off on me stating that I am not the queen and why should she always come to my house. I then told her to let me know when she was home and I would pop to her.

After this it then escalated into a barrage of messages off her giving me abuse, stating that I never go to her house (it has been that she normally comes to mine as it’s been easier re the kids and tbh she usually just turns up at my house, also I would invite her to my house for tea etc however the invitation is never returned)

Also she was messaging me stating that I have not even bothered to help her look for a loan to finance so teeth repairs that she needs - I had previously said I would help her if she finds out how much she needs etc but she never has done.

Furthermore she then turned round and said that she feels that her life is passing her by because of all the childcare she does ! She collects the children from school 3 days a week and drops them at my house as these are the days I work (this is something she offered to do as I previously used after school club and I pay her petrol money for doing so, it’s about a 25 min round trip for her as she doesn’t live far)

Anyway I didn’t see her on Mother’s Day as she was basically sending me abuse all day I messaged her on Mother’s Day so say I hope she had a nice day and I basically told her I was pregnant and that was the reason I asked her to come for breakfast. I told her that she didn’t need to do school pick ups anymore as I didn’t want them to put her out also.

She replied to my message with a “no worries congratulations”

And she has since blocked me on everything she removed me off social media and blocked me on WhatsApp!

I feel like I’m going crazy like how am I meant to look for a loan for something I have no idea how much someone needs, also I tried to do something nice and do breakfast on Mother’s Day and it just get thrown back at my face.

Would you reach out ? Well I mean I can’t actually message her anyway

@DuckbilledSplatterPuff@REP22thank you for your responses - I really appreciate it. I cried a few hormonal tears yesterday but today is a new day

I think since having children and the older my children are getting it’s made me realise I would never ever treat or speak to my children this way in any way shape or form.

that is the reality her mental struggles which are surrounding her teeth etc which I completely understand she is taking her frustration out of me and expecting me to fix a problem. We recently bought a campervan a few years ago and she has made reference to us buying one in her voice note (well it’s on finance but that’s by the by) but basically we can afford to buy a campervan (to give our children an amazing childhood) but not finance their requests so in her eyes it’s completely unacceptable.

the only thing that stops me blocking them fully is incase something happens / health wise however again it shouldn’t be on my shoulders.

it amazes me that they are expecting me to be a guarantor they clearly don’t fully understand the implications for me ! I’m doing everything I can to give my children a stable and happy childhood something I never had.

i can see that she has blocked me now anyway so even if I wanted to respond to put my reasons / point across I can’t (not that I wish to as it’s like talking to a brick wall)

@unsureforevermore you're right it shouldn't be on you if anything happens. Your family is you and dcs. And possibly close friends? I know my closest friends are like family. Did you join the stately homes thread?
