FOBs mum advice

[suzanne108]

I've had problems galore with FOBs mum...she's 51 years old but acts about 15.

FOB lives about 3 hours away his family haven't been up to see Lola yet but they've all got pressies. His mum sent a text round to everyone saying something along the lines of "give presents to FOB to take up to because lola is his child too, don't send them direct to suzanne"

Then she's had a go at his auntie for sending me some flowers....and FOBs stepmum was gonna come up with her pressie but now has FOBs mum on her back saying she should give it to FOB.

I feel like saying something to her. The presents are for Lola so surely they should be sent to her direct? They aren't for me or him. And if I was a family member I'd be pretty peeved that my present didn't get to her til she's nearly 3 weeks old.

I feel like saying something to FOBs mum.....even though I know I should just leave it!!!

Mmmm i would txt her and say fine fair enough you want the presents to be give to your son, BUT there for OUR child and he hasnt seen her yet, i dont know what people have bought her, and if there clothes, i would prefer her to have them now, as i dont know when fob will be coming to see Lola, and wouldnt want them going to waste if they dont fit her by the time she recieves them? xxx

Hmmm how weird is she???
Its not as if the presents are for you! lol

Yeah id just text her telling her to grow up.... maybe dont phrase it like that though!!! lol

It does sound weird. I agree that if the presents are for Lola then they should be going directly to her rather than to him when you don't know when they'll get to her.

If i was on ur place i wouldn't txt her. Although i agree that she's acting strange and unacceptable...but i doubt ur txt will change her ...just probably cause more troubles instead of positive things.
But that's only my opinion.

She had a go at his auntie for sending you flowers? Ignorant cow, it's not her descision what other people do!!! If it was me I'd text, they are for Lola after all x

Im not sure if I would text her or not....I had serious problems with FOB mum as well with her torturing me and stressing me out at the end of my pregnancy as you well know!lol It isnt her decision to make etc and I bet your curious to see what the presents are But I would either just wait or text saying that they should bring the presents etc round just in case a friend of yours has bought the same etc and you could bring your friends back to whatever shop they got it from and get the gift exchanged type thing! Though she might get "insulted" thinking you mean returning their gifts...she sounds like that type of person!

I agree its probably not a good idea to text her....just so annoying I want to have it out with her but I will not stoop to her level

I did mention it to FOB yesterday...said that she should be careful what she's saying because its all getting back to me. I very much doubt he'll say anything to her though.

Had a very interesting convo with his stepmum though where I found out that the whole family hate her.....phew its not just me!!! xx

shes a weirdo, id just ignore her, let the family members know theyre welcome to visit anytime and let her be the physco! the family members will probably get sick of her and want to come meet lola and she will end up annoying them all!

I wouldn't contact her at all certainly not by text as that could be used as ammunition in the future. I hope the FOB's other family members would have the sense to go against MIL and send the presents direct to you and your bub.
