[quote=Anonymous]My Dad got my Mom an Apple Watch for Christmas this past year. However, he didn't realize that her iPhone was too old to be able to pair with the Apple Watch (she has like an iPhone 5, or something like that). My Dad's phone is new enough to pair with it, so she paired it with my Dad's phone. So whenever my Dad gets a call/text, it shows up on my Mom's watch.

To give some context, while I have an okay relationship with my Mom, I have a better relationship with my Dad. We have a shared hobby, and we work in similar fields, so I usually talk to him about those two topics. Additionally, my Mom can be a bit judgemental at times, so I'm a bit more guarded regarding what I share with her.

Anyways, when my Mom and I are talking, she'll occasionally drop in some bit of information that I texted my Dad; it's usually something like "so what's going on with XYZ work project that you were telling Dad about?" Maybe I'm being a bit sensitive, but it feels like I can't have my own relationship with my Dad because my Mom is always seeing his texts. Is this weird? Or am I the odd one? [/quote]
