Update Inside!! What do you think?

I picked the kiddo up from MIL's last night and she asked me a wired question, or I think it was wired anyways.

My parents were in town in mid-February. Their last night here mil dropped off some food for them, H was there but I was still at work. So she says to me; "that night I dropped off the rice and beans for your parents, when I left I thought I saw you at the intersection at Main St, but then instead of turning to go home, you went left. I figured maybe I was wrong but then I saw you again down the block coming the other way and it was your car because the one headlight was out". 

 

I think it plays into my already existing annoyance of her overbearing presence, but is that a weird thing to say? Like why does she need to know why I turned a different way? Maybe I had to stop somewhere who the eff cares?  

(Truthfully, there was probably a song playing I wanted to hear the rest of, I usually circle the block when that happens. But it's really none of her business) 

Re: Update Inside!! What do you think?

  • That is sooo weird! She now decides to ask you a month later?? I would have still thought it was weird if she asked you last month, but it's totally weird thta she asked you this last night! LIke you're going to remember why you turned a different way

    That is so weird!!  And like athlete said.. this happened like a month ago?  So obviously she's still thinking about it.  Very odd.

  • There are 2 explanations I can think of:

     

    1. She thought I was trying to avoid her (although I didn't know she was stopping by) and has been thinking about it ever since.

    2.  I told H about something that happened when I pi

  • wow, I didn't realize she was still up to her tricks!  I would have been like "well I must have been running away from my family for a while that night..." or something.  Are you not allowed to go out w/o her needing to know where you are?

  • She never really stops. I have been trying very hard to tolerate her behaviors and have a friendlier relationship with her. It's been working but she is getting on my nerves right now and I see another fallout on the horizon. 
  • I don't drive around the block when I want to finish a song, I sit in our parking spot until it ends. She's so strange bringing this up a month later. It doesn't matter what streets you take to get home. There are more direct ways for DH to get to our pla
  • So I broke down and talked to H about her last night. Ok, the tequila broke me down, whatevs. I started out by telling him about the weird question to which he agreed it was odd and out of line. I then proceeded to go on about needing boundaries since

  • That's good that he doesn't think you're crazy!  Just curious - when does he think you need to stand up to her more?  Is it when she asks crazy questions like that or when she comes over unannounced?  I think she's she's your DH's mom, he s

    Good I'm glad you were able to tell him!!  I would be kind of like you.. I don't like confrontation either.  I'm not sure if/what I would say to her if I was in your situation.  I almost agree with athlete that maybe he should be the one to

  • She does ignore him. She ignores everyone. She does whatever she pleases one way or another. 

    Hes always good about talking to her when I bring things up, but he thinks it would be more effective if I said things to her in the moment rather

  • Gotcha! Ugh, that's frustrating! So sorry you have to deal with her!!

    I understand.  I agree that if you saying something - then maybe she would actually hear what your saying (I'm assuming what your husband says goes in one ear and out the other).  But, that doesn't mean she'd do anything about it.  So sorry

  • Uuugggh she stopped over unannounced yesterday and invited herself in. I had just got home from work myself and honestly, I just ignored her. H kind of did the same and didn't really engage her until she spoke to him. We just went on with our own conve
