omg , she would never do that. She spoke to me this morning, but briefly. True from you good guys she has slowly come round so I could do one or two of the following
COmpletely rule her out of my life
Or
Just get on with it and anything else she says in the future to IGNORE and let her rant on. My sister in law said last night, nobody listens to her anyway when she goes on, and on and on.
From what you've said, I don't think you want to rule your mum out of your life altogether, so yes, just let her rant, don't offer an opinion - and start watching what you say to her too. If you don't want her to know specific things about your life and your household, don't tell her. She doesn't need to know.0 -
I agree with BalletShoes.
I'd insist on the apology from her, but it sounds like you would rather have her in your life, which means putting up with her trying it on every now and then, and you can only try to manage it by controlling what you say and do.0
