To cut my mum off?!?

Nc for this.
Long story short my mum has broken my trust but is denying it!
She doesn't speak to my sister and my sister is expecting. My sister gave me permission to tell my mum her news so I told her last night. My mum didn't know she was in a relationship so asked me a few questions about the guy. Without giving away too much I said a few things about him, his name etc and kept it minimal as I know my sister wouldn't want her business speaking about especially as she doesn't have contact with my mum.
So anyway my mum has phoned a family friend up saying 'my daughter is pregnant to so and so' also giving away the few details I did. This then got back to my sister and now the whole situation is up in the air. My sister is pissed off that my mum is speaking her business to people and my mum is gossiping.
How shall I confront my mum on this situation?? She always sticks her nose is and I'm fed up.

Tell your sister to pass on her own news in future, tell your mother you know nothing and keep out of all of it.

So much drama, makes you tired!

Exactly what I'm going to do from now on. Not worth the hassle.

I really don't understand why this has become a drama? Unless you were bitching about her bf I think you all sound overly dramatic ?

If your sister is private person why are writing about on mumnet

You have to remove yourself as the "middle man." If your sister wants your mom to know something than she must be told to tell her herself. Likewise for your mother. Do NOT waiver on this. You are in no way responsible for the state of their relationship. It's time to find your voice and stand up for yourself and your own well-being.

I doubt your mum thought she was betraying anyone's trust repeating a few brief details about the pregnancy, unless you told her it was all a secret.

Did your sister really expect you to tell your mum that she was pregnant without any accompanying details, such as who the father was?

I think the situation is ridiculous and agree with pp telling you to keep out of it in future.

I am sure your mum is a pita.

But i cant see what she did wrong. Did you give her secret details?

Your sister expectes her to recieve the news but never mention it to anyone she knows?

Can't believe you'd cut your mum off over this!

That's such an over-reaction.

sugarbeep9 · 22/05/2017 06:05

just from what you wrote here, i don't think your mum was being malicious when she discussed the news.

it is normal to ask about the father of your grandchild Hmm.

sugarbeep9 · 22/05/2017 06:07

also, you're blaming your mum for betraying YOUR trust when you yourself disclosed extra info about the situation beyond what your sis asked you to pass on? pot kettle?

as said, don't get involved as a messenger between them again.

abbsisspartacus · 22/05/2017 07:03

Is he married? Is there a reason why people can't know about him?

Pagwatch · 22/05/2017 07:11

If I wasn't in contact with my child and found out they were pregnant I'm really not sure how I would handle that .
Expecting her to keep quiet and talking about her 'betraying your trust' because she is talking about the info you gave her is pretty ridiculous

Tell your sister that you won't pass on anything in future and stay out of it. Unless there is really good reason that you haven't mentioned how horrendous she is and why you need to cut her off this sounds like ridiculous hurtful drama
