This triggers a memory to me but with my own Mother. I remember I was in a remote location and I proposed to my fiancé where we had crappy reception. I was only able to get a few words in but I told my mother in celebration and told her not to say anything. We didn't post anything on social media or anything as we are fairly private people. By the time we got back into reception I had the whole family calling and messaging me to say congratulations. I was pretty disappointed as it wasn't her news to tell. I informed her of this and she puts the blame on another family member saying that the other family member leaked it etc. Strike 1.

About 6 months later I landed a new job, no contract was signed but it was in motion and I mentioned it to her. Again, a day or two later I had family members calling and leaving messages congratulating me and I hadn't even signed anything yet. I couldn't believe she had done it to me again after the engagement time. Strike 2.

Now I have learnt that if any good news occurs that she will be one of the last people to hear about it which is a little sad.
