AIBU ABOUT PEOPLE WHO TELL LIES

glass

anno they are probably cloned.

Nanban It's just polite isn't it to let your mother know that plans have changed instead of having a madwoman turn up unannounced.

vpq I am sure this person believes every word she says.I have never met anybody who has so many degrees and qualifications or has lived next door to so many famous people. That is harmless enough but to lie and say that DS and DiL had been trying to contact me just made me

I also know someone who cant lie straight in bed and wont change!!!

My ex MIL lied all the time but convinced herself that she was telling the truth so that she would argue you down. In the end it was just easier to agree with her.

There could be a tribe of them, sook - the one I know isn't anyone's MiL yet.

Just maybe when she told your DS and Dil her plans they should either have rung you, or said not to collect your grandson because you were looking after him. Quite right to be cross and maybe next time figure out a way of getting around the fantasy.

anno we could be talking about the same person

That made me , anno!

Sook, some people are such compulsive liars that they come to believe their own lies. I know someone like that and the only time you know she isn't lying is when her mouth is shut.

Greatnan It would take a miracle to change her

Sounds as if she forgot to ring you and then was not big enough to admit it.
You won't change her, so for the sake of your DS and DIL try to just grit your teeth - again!

I would have phoned DS while she was there as well!

I really have no idea Bez her life is a complete fabrication at times. I think she was very surprised (but not embarassed) that I checked the landline and mobile in front of her. She even suggested that I may have had a miss call from DS or DiL but my son confirmed that they hadn't rung me

What was the need for telling the lie other than the fact she had not done as asked. I absolutely detest lying and most times the truth eventually comes out.

Thank you wisewoman This sort of thing has happened before and I've let it go rather than make waves. I just saw red earlier as I don't like being taken for a fool.

You are certainly not being unreasonable. How rude! Sending you Apart from anything else you would have prepared your grandson that his other gran was coming. Little ones like to know the plan (as do big ones!)
