Over-involved much?

[Leglesslilly]

My ds (19) has just told me that his ex-gf's dm (from a year ago) is 'popping by' later this afternoon to drop off some cakes for him! Ds is very happily settled with a new gf now & has been for some time. I'm more than a bit at why this woman's decided to just roll up at my house later on with free cake... For the record, ds is a baffled as me. This woman has never been to our house before & I don't know her from Adam. Ds parted with the ex on good terms but they don't hang out or anything. He didn't invite the dm over, he just got a text 'I've made you some cake & as I'm in the area I'll pass-by & drop it off'. To me, this is weird. What d'you think?

Is there a chance she just texted the weing person? If its come out of the blue, that would be my first guess.

I never delete people out of my phone. So it could happen that I text someone I have spoken to for ages

Either that or she is looking for an excuse to come over. I would assume she is going to tell him something.

Is she coming to say the young lady has since had a baby....

Yup. Very weird. I have my suspicions about what might be happening but am keeping schtum for now as there's not enough info.

Why did they part OP?

Pregnancy?

My ex's mother is a narcissist and this is the type of thing she has done many times. Whilst her children are together with someone making everyone's lives a misery and when they split up, she will court the exes. Stirring and creating drama.

I'm surprised/amused to hear pregnancy. I'm absolutely sure it's not that. Ds would have heard something on social media before now if that were the case. All I do know is that this dm took a shine to ds & really liked him. She made cakes & cute handmade xmas cards when the kids were dating.

That’s so weird, I hope there’s a good explanation, please update us OP.

@Musti Spot on.

It's either the Mum or the Mum is operating as the daughter's lieutenant.

The cake is a benign Hoover

She is obviously coming to poison him.....

Or maybe her cakes will be better than ex mil used to make.....

Not envy.

Maybe she’s just a really nice and thoughtful person who is practicing to go on GBBO? Just a thought...I’d personally never say no to cake and would highly encourage her to pop by with free food as often as she likes

She can pop by mine with cake too if she wants.

Weird though.....

Does she know DS and ex have split up? Maybe she thinks they are still together.

Or its been sent to the wrong person.

I have an answer! And it's so innocent.. She's starting up a cake business. Dairy free, vegan cakes. She came around with half-a-dozen samples in their presentation boxes for us to try & asked us to recommend her to friends in the future if we liked what we sampled. That's it. She's just spreading the word as far and wide as she can - hence the weird contact out of nowhere. I would recommend them, they were actually very good.

Oh that's a great update. She knows he'll help promote the cakes if he liked them years ago.

Phew! So you're not a granny, as was my first thought on reading the op

Spreading the word is good..
Exmil could have wiped out counties if she had spread her cakes among the hoards..
