Just wondering about this one - an older lady I met over the past year was very kind and helpful when I was expecting my third - but towards the end of the pregnancy, it got a bit strange - she kind of tried to take control of things - booking my appointments for me because she offered to drive (I originally just asked her to come with me once because I'd fainted while out with my other young kiddies).
ANyways, she is a mum of one who's barely over his teens himself, she keeps going on about loving babies and children and wanting to be a gran (she's probably only in her late 40s - not old enough to be my mum - unless of course she were an early teen - and frankly at times I found her just as mature).
Anyways, since I had the baby, I've been quite protective and something I trust in my gut makes me step back from her - she can be over-friendly in public (but has never actually rung me since I had the baby - 5 months ago)but when I'm on my own and try and be polite she seems to ignore or stare past me. To be honest, that doesn't phase me. But it is odd that she seems a bit schizo. I'm happy to keep my distance until things seem normal - if they never do, I'm cool with that and glad I stepped back before it got more uncomfortable.
She took some baby photos in the first weeks and I have since copied them onto cd myself since she'd been promising my husband and I for months she'd do it for us (even though I see her most days at school where she helps out) - as for the sunday school paegent video she offered to copy for us, I'll go with my memories - I will not beholden to a potential nutter (sorry!).
In the meantime, anyone have similar situations and suggestions to share on dealing with these kinds of relationships (if you can call them that) ?
