I have a meddling Aunt. What did I do or say to her?

I'm 28 years old. I lost my mother at 13, so my Aunt had decided to take me on as her daughter. She was never a huge part of my life until about 6 years ago when I decided to move into the same city. I love her but she is very hard to handle allot of the time. She feels that she has the right to tell me whatever she thinks I need to be doing in my life.

I'm now pregnant and working. We happen to work in the same place and likes to talk to my boss about me. I talked to my boss about having a day a week off work because I'm so exhausted by the middle of the week. He is ok with this. My Aunt then calls me up and says, "I had a long talk with your boss and your blowing it!" She would not tell me what he said so I called him myself. He told me he has no problem but my Aunt thinks I should not have any days off work while pregnant. She dosent even want me to take time off for my monthly appointments! Who does she think she is! Please help! She's a very difficult person to talk to.

you are 28. tell
her that you're not
a little girl anymore.
you're a legal adult
who can take care
of themselves.

Remind her that you love her and are thankful for her being in your life...then let her know that you need to live your own life. That includes doctors appointments, taking time off from work, and being a mom. Let her know that work is work and you want her to respect your place of employment. At work you are co workers not family! Good luck!

Well. You've got a bit of a problem developing, haven't you.

It seems some sort of confidentiality laws are being broken. So did you tell your Aunt before you discussed with your boss about taking a day off or was HE the one who told her? If it was he, write him a letter and keep a copy of it in which you ask him to please refrain from discussing your work with your aunt. ( That way it is in writing, should you ever lose your job and need to refer back to it) When you hand you
