Not sure what to do about this. Unwanted friendship with my brothers, gf's mum

Basically my brother has a gf who I do not particularly like. There are reasons for this, but for the sake of my brother I get along with her.

He mum is very much like her only even more full on. I have only met her twice, very briefly and that was enough for me. I am sure she is a lovely woman, but way too high maintenence and over bearing for me.

So, she added me on fb and I accepted as I thought it would be rude not to. Then last week she txt me (she has my number because of one time when her dd's battery had ran out and i had to get hold of her). The txt said how lovely it would be to meet up in town and have a coffee and a chat or I could go to her house.

I sent back a kind of, 'oh very busy at the mo' kind of reply, and got a weird one back about how she could do with the company and my brother could warn me about their dogs and how disorganised she is. I didn't reply.

I rang my dad and he said he'd have a word with my brother about it. I then assumed that it was all sorted, but I have just had another txt saying 'would be lovely to meet you and have a coffee and a chat for a few hours'.

I haven't replied. I just don't need this at the moment. I feel like she wants to try and make my family hers, and I do not want that.
I am not having a great time of things at the moment and making friends with her is the very last thing I want to do.

I know I sound really uncaring and like a bitch but I just can't cope with this at the moment.

My dad has said he will have another word with my brother again, but I don't feel this is fair on him either because he is being put in an awkward position.

What shall I do ?

I havent really got any advicefor you, but you might get more replies if you post in "relationships". I was just browsing the "most active" section.

FWIW could you just ignore her - text messages often go astray - only just got your message/was in a bad reception area/was driving & couldnt reply & then forgot/didnt check my phone all day?
