So this individual (A) went the yesterday with her girlfriends (one of which being my mother, who I’m close with and I’m still young) for a short weekend vacation. Individual (A) is middle aged, as is my mother. They went on a girls beach house trip for a little less then a week. My mother seemed very happy to see the handful texts and at most 1-2 calls I’ve made while she’s away. We are usually in contact EVERY day and are close. There was a small little issue at my main house; as their was a small incident at my home, me and my dad needed assistance briefly from my mother. So I very politely texted a friend that is with her to call me (since mom didn’t pick up). She finally did. Mom showed NO anger, or displeasure at my call/voice at all. Issue over in a half hour, no big deal. No big deal, only contact mom to say hi a few times since she left.

Individual (A) now texted me to which it read and I woke up to “You need to stop texting her and leave her alone”. She NEVER told my mother she would send that text (at 7:28am) I found it rude to be honest, I kind of know her but not great, and it’s not her business either I think? Presumptuous much?

Well ... she was direct, that's for sure.

Of course we're getting your side of the story.

Are you male or female? How old are you? Do you live at home? Is this the first time mama's friend has called you out like this? is this typical behavior for her?

You say you're close to your mom and talk every day. Maybe you two talk TOO much? It's not too much to ask for your mom to go out of town without getting dinged by you every day.

Whose house had the incident? Why couldn't your dad handle it himself?

Incredibly rude, yes. Your mother is an adult; if she wants to be incommunicado with you then she is certainly capable of saying so.

I am the mother of 2 young adults and I would not appreciate a friend telling my child to leave me alone.

Yeah.....that's a good way to get a nasty reply along the lines of " mind ya damn business."

I'd just tell my mother about it and let her check her friend herself. She was overstepping boundaries. I would tell my friend's children how much they can talk to her. Even if it is in "good faith." Although this is just one side of the story.

7:28 you say? I’d go back to watching my tiger video by 7:34 a.m. and text mom for the 5th time on her weekend getaway. 🐅

You should have texted your mom at 7:29 and said "I just received a text from A ordering me to stop texting you and leave you alone. So I thought I'd text you to say good morning! Love you!"

Why do you keep intruding on your mother's vacation with her friend? Are you that enmeshed and helpless?

You panic and bother someone else if Mom doesn't pick up once. That's pretty immature. If you two are really so "close" why not back off and wait for her to contact YOU?

I would say:

"I am adult and vaccinated and will conduct my life respectfully with those who I choose and who are happy to involved in my life also. So kindly keep your big old nose out of it, or you will be very sorry for having been born, you pseudo-gestapo waste of oxygen old bat".

But then I have always been an eccentric, so I don't necessarily advise that this is what you should say.

What were the two little issues at your houses that required your mother's involvement immediately?
