Never had a problem with BM but……Over reacting ?

So I wanted to run this by you guys cause its something small but it rubbed me the wrong way.

So SD had her baby and as much as I can't stand her I put my feelings aside and went with DH to congratulate her. BM was there, and BM has never really been a mother to SD, having my MIL raise her when she was younger, never really liked to do anything for her, etc etc. So we go up there with a good amount of gifts, flowers and all the regular baby stuff. She apparently had nothing, and make this huge production repeatedly asking SD if she wanted anything when she came back.

BM and DH haven't been together in 20 years but it seems BM has always involved herself in DHs families lives. Ive only met her a handful of times and never really dealt with her. So anyhow my MIL was at the hospital and her and I are very close, her, DH, BD, and I were going to the cafeteria and I grabbed my purse and her purse, my MIL went over to walk to some friends of her and I yelled out "MIL i still have your purse" so BM comes running over like "here I'll take that from you, that woman always forgets her things"

I just smiled and handed it to her but Im like yes I know MY MIL very well. She's just annoying, its like she wishes they were still together after 20 years. Its so odd its like my DH had all these exes that still cling on with emotional feelings for him still after years of them being split up. Before me BM would message him and say things like "remember when we used to play house together" 20 YEARS AGO.

Am I being silly or would this annoy you too ? Apparently she's homeless right now and has a boyfriend that she's been with for years don't you have your BFs family to cling to ?

It would annoy me briefly. But like you said, you have a good relationship with your MIL. You know BM was probably feeling insecure. If you guys have a decent enough "relationship" I wouldn't dwell on this or let it affect things moving foward. I just think the BM was feeling left out.

Thanks good to hear some feedback. Ya I didn't even mention to DH, he doesn't really pay her any mind, anyways. Didn't let it affect my day .

She sounds insecure and was trying to mark a territory that isn't even hers to mark. I would let it go though, all you can do is feel sorry for her. How sad for her that she is trying to hold on to something that isn't there anymore. It seems she was trying to make you feel like you were the outsider and that's not the case at all. Don't give her the satisfaction of you even being bothered by it.
