(I really want a fizzy water& lime at the minute).
Said family member did not know about the dark web ( dark web sells kiddy porn images, drugs, weapons and other bad stuff). Said family member was pressing her daughter in law for baby in bath photos, said family member posts way too much on facebook EVERYTHING.
Daughter in law is 20,sweet and IMO way too passive. Said family is late 50s & has been rolling over her DIL. I was asked to explain this to said family member by DIL.
I was very direct.
This morning has been quite something.
Also, when my mom hears about this, if she hasn't already, my Mom is going to be pissed.
Possibly at me.

I'm glad you explained it.

(32,828 posts)I am not a parent, I am not a mother in law, TBH I do not understand why putting so many photos on facebook and other social media is a big thing and a sign of being a wonderful Grandmother.
I am also bothered by learning how she runs over a 40 yr younger woman to get what she wants. I am also kind of pissed at the 21yr old son who is letting his mother run over his 20 yr old wife.
I am not especially pleased to be the one to tell the said family member about the fact that she continues to be a rotter. I don't feel real good about my cousins seeing me as a 'pitbull'( as if being compared to a Nanny Dog is a bad thing).
I have however cemented my place in family lore. So, family famous!

(3,440 posts)on craigslist looking for a babysitter. I contacted her, warning about pedophiles. She went nuts on me.
Reported ad to computer crime police to take down ad or trace replies. They said it happens a lot and worries them greatly.
Don't know the outcome but still shaking head at mom's lack of concern.

(3,440 posts)Her reaction was so violent and hostile to a friendly warning made me suspect she might have been a trafficker. Why I reported to the cops.
