First let me give you some background. My mom is the type of person who wants to be the center of attention and who thinks my brother and his family are the best. She is always telling everyone about them and when they ask about my family she tells them that we are ok. She makes up storys to get attention. Anything from I might have cancer to I have grown my hair all the way to the floor(butt yes, floor no)

For years she tells me to my face that she loves my(boyfriend at the time) husband but she goes and tells people taht she knows that he can't provide me with the life I derseve. Stay at hom mom and get to go out and buy anything I want and do nothing but sprend money. I am a SAHM but we live paycheck to paycheck.
Fast-forward to November 27,2007 I found out I was pregnant and due in July she was happy for me. I told her not to tell anyone(I lost two before) because we were going to wait till I was 3 months to tell people. I get home and I have 8 emails telling me congrats. I called her up and she said" i am sorry dear I guess I did not hear you" BULL. Three weeks later I lost the baby I was heart broken again I tell her not to tell people because it was my job to tell people. I get a phone call that night from my step-sister telling me how sorry she was. I broke down in tears I wanted to tell my sister about that. I called up my mom and told her that she was wrong and she had no right to tell anyone including my sister. She tells me again that she is sorry and that it slipped out. BULL S**T she wanted to get the attn. I told her that I am never going to tell her about anything that imporent ever again she burst into tears and I hung up.

Now last week I called looking for my Dad because I pulled some stuff way from the wall and the wallboard was full of mold and falling apart.so both of our outside walls need to be fixed. She told me that she would pass teh message onto my Dad when he got home. I just found out yesterday that she was telling my MIL(she works at the doc office where my mom goes) that" My daughter is so upset the home she is living in is falling apart and there is nothing Mark can do about it. If I ever win the lottery i will give Susan the hiome she rightly deserves". She is trign to make my MIL feel like that her son can not take care of her daughter. (She does not like my MIL because she get to spend more time with my kids than she does.) I am so mad because I did not want my MIL to find out about this problem untill she got home I did not want her to worry. I tell my mom it is not her place to tell anything that I say to her to my MIL. At her job is not the right place for her to find out anything about our home or the family. She looks at me and startes talking about my brothre and his family.
How can I get her to care about what I have to say? She acts like there is nothing wrong. what can i say to get it through her head that she need to keep her mouth shut about somethings?


Thanks for letting me vent...
