There's a guy I've known for over 10 years off and on. The last several months we've gotten to be very close friends, and he's gotten to know my husband and children as well.
The other day he took me to a furniture store in his truck to pick something up. My husband was working so my niece babysat. When we got back, I took my niece home and he stayed with the kids while I was gone (15 minutes tops).
Today I got a call from my mother lecturing me cause I left the kids with him for a few minutes, and how I don't know him well enough to trust him.... when the fact is,... its HER that doesn't know him. She implied that I'm negligent and incompetent as a parent, that I put my children in danger,... she yelled and argued.... and when I argued back, she hung up on me.
Am I wrong to be angry that my own mother thinks I'm a negligent and incompetent parent when everything I've ever done proves otherwise? And how do I forgive that kind of insult, especially from my own mother?
