My sil (lets call her D) had the nerve to ring child protection against me almost a year ago (when Hayley was about 2 months old) anyway, the reason I know it was her was because welfare came over to my house and were asking 20 questions on how I look after Hayley, they even asked me if I wanted to do parenting classes, My other sis (k) told me that D told her that welfare was involved even b4 I knew about it (are you with me?) How would D know about welfare being involved with me even b4 I know anything unless she was the one who made the call??? Then bil (B) and K actually TOLD me that D told them that she was the one who rang them. I knew it was her anyway coz she has done this b4 (not to me, to someone else) because she is desperate for another kid (she has 4 girls already but has her tubes tied) she just wants to make me look like I'm a bad mother and for people to think that shes a really caring Aunty and is trying to protect Hayley (from what I don't know) they (welfare) asked me if I was on drugs, they asked me if I'd ever left Hayley at home by herslef, all these stupid questions (which were BS) that made me feel like a bad mother (which I know I'm not) yet D lets her 9 year old DD babysit and cook dinner. (Go figure) I really want to confront her about it but she leant us all her baby furniture and she also had the privlige (sp?) of being there at the birth (this was b4 I knew what she was really like, otherwise...)
Do you think I should confront her and say, I know it was you, I have been told by a few different people, also that I knew b4 coz what I've bee told by D doesn't seem to add up, meaning how could she know b4 me unless she she was the one who rung them?
I don't want there to be any conflict between us and I'm also scared she will turn around and ask for her things back and we don't have the money to go out and buy any of that stuff (cot, etc).
She just wants to be this doting Aunt. Welfare came around twice and they said that there is nothing wrong and the case is closed but it still bothers me coz it should never of happened in the first place and what gets me even more mad is that a few people know about it but no-one says anything to her (that includes my fiance) and I've had enough.
I tried confronting about it after it happen but I did it "tongue in cheek" i said that it seemed odd that you'd know anything b4 I did and she turned around and said to me "I wouldn't go blaming me coz you'll lose your support system" I just left it at that.
I asked her if she knew who it was (I already knew anyway I just wanted to see what she'd say) and she said something about her friend works for welfare (or some BS story) and thats how she found out. Well, I'm sorry but if that were true her friend should be working for welfare coz she not allowed to say anything to anyone beciause of the privacy act. Its all a bit suss to me.
Do you think I should confront her now that I have actually been told or should I just leave it and let it blow over?????

I'm so sorry she's doing this to you. Can you just avoid talking/dealing with her for awhile? Maybe just until you can get things of your own? Right now, our 4 month old sleeps in his playpen. Is it possible to get a toddler bed for your child?

She's pulling some full on Jerry Springer sh!t and needs to be put in line.
I am thinking about confronting her but I think I'll wait 'til after the holidays (Xmas and New Years)
