[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Glad to know I'm not alone in thinking this is nuts.

I agree it was partly just a generational misunderstanding on her part. However, she has always been really nosy about my life and not just as it relates to my kids or even my marriage. Like she regularly asks me really nosy questions about my obstetric health, my job, my friends, and my own family. I always deflect -- it's just how she is and I'm used to it by now (and my DH always backs me up, though he does encourage me to go easy on her). But I think part of the reason it made me think that she's nosing around other places is because she consistently refuses to acknowledge my privacy or discomfort around a topic. The fact that she'd just go cruising through the photos on my phone (which, for the record, neither her sister or husband chose to do -- they are the same age and seemed to understand implicitly that you don't just go flipping all the way through) does make me wonder in what other ways is she breezing right past conventional boundaries on the hunt for info about my life.[/quote]
