Not here for advice or anything, just wanting to bitch! Haha!
My DSDs (5yo) mum just picked her up to take her to a party and will be returning her in 3 hours.
I WFH and DH was at work.
I always say my goodbyes in the house to minimise time having to deal with her mum. She's very high conflict and just a horrible person.
Her mum was standing at the end of the driveway talking on her phone. She usually comes to the door but I let DSD out before she did, and DSD walked up the driveway towards her. I shut the door immediately but could hear her say to DSD "Did you say thank you to Laurdo for babysitting, was Laurdo babysitting cos dad's away?"
I'm a very hands on stepmum, I do the school run (mum is aware of this), take her out to get our nails done. Etc. We have DSD just over 50% and I've lived with DH for 2 years now and we're married. So hardly just a babysitter.
She's made the same comment before. She's also referred to me as "the help".
Why can't she just shut the fuck up and keep my name out of her mouth? I know she's just saying it to wind me up, which is why I always just grey rock her. What's even more annoying is she says it in that high pitched voice some people do when they're talking to little kids in a super patronising way. Like nails down a chalkboard!
It's getting harder not to snipe back but I now that's what she wants and I'm not giving it to her.
