Do you Have Problems with Negging relatives?

Tweet

I have a mayjor problem, with a certain annoying aunt. She calls me nearly every hour of every day just to ask annoying and very nosy questions. When I answer the phone that is. If I don't anwser the phone and thankfully I have caller ID so sometimes I dont answer it knowing its her and she wants nothing but to bug. She call's every five minutes. Sometimes I answer the phone and say I am sleeping even if I am not really sleeping, just to get the calls to stop. These calls start at 7 am, usually waking up my toddler, and they don;t end until she decides she needs to go to bed. The questions she asks me are point blank none of her bussiness for example. Where were you when I was trying to call, is her favorite question in the whole world. Funny thing is I feel my where abouts are none of her concern. Another of her many and nosy questions are: I tried calling and calling but your phone was busy...who where you talking to? Am I not entitled to talk on my own phone to someone other then her. She also asks me stuff like Did you feed your son? What did you feed him, when did you give him his bath, did you read to him yet to day? If low and behold my son takes a nap during the day and I decided to have a little shut eye then she wants to even know where my son was when I was sleeping. If by chance I am really not at home when she calls or have the little one down stairs or out in the yard she calls everyone she can think of to see if they know where I am! Worse, she seems to look and pick for faults, and does this by asking me questions on how I parent my son. She is friends with my ex, who was abusive and is looking for away to take my son... I strongly feel that this aunt is doing this to help him. She her self has a mental illness and also does drugs there for her child is in the care of his father. She has made comments to other people that she doesnt think I am doing what I should to take care of my son... thats is very hard for her to judge since this woman has never physically been in my life in over a year other then the phone calls she is driving me nuts with. This women seems to think she has the right to know my every move, and I should run things by her, before I do them... like for example she tells me how to parent my child... like for instance the other day she called and I was not answering the phone knowing it was her, when I started getting a head ache from the constant ringing hanging up and ringing again I answered, She asked where I was and I said out, she was like out where, I grinted my teeth and said I had been out in the yard. She was like I hope you used sun block, do you have sun block? you don't have to get the exspensive stuff, but make sure its above 30 and make sure you have it all over his exsposed skin, the heat is bad for them you know... Is she for real I have been a mom, now for 2 and a half years, I may be only 24 for but I know how to apply sunblock like what the hell is going on here? When did she become mother of the year when she can only see her son in supervised visits. I don't want to hurt her feelings but she is driving me crazy! I have constantly concidered changing my phone number so I don't have to listen to this woman, and her complete bull she is putting me through it literally is driving me crazy. In a voiding her I have caused her, to think I am a unfit mom, when all I really wanted to do was not answer these crazy questions because if I don't answer she gets angry. Any Idea's on how to stop this woman from trying to control me? Or do you have any simular stories you would like to share?
