Okay I'm like genuinely questioning this rn. Someone passed away at my school. Due to coincidental connections, I got more details but was told it was confidential so when my mom asked about it, I just said that I didn't really know anything because (1/2)

Not at all. I’ve had to deal with a lot of confidential information with jobs on and off campus. I get questioned by friends, family, and strangers about it. Most of them even if I were to share something that had no revealing details would pry and want more. So for anyone who won’t leave the info alone, I just shrug my shoulders and say I don’t know.

Your mom is SO weird. It sounds like she has not grown out of get mean girl phase, and has nothing better to do with her life. Wanting to know gossipy details about KIDS; and proceeding to be mad when you didnt feel comfortable sharing something about someone she doesn’t know or has any business with. She should be caring for how you’re feeling right now, and setting an example of compassion and love. You’re not wrong. Parents are not always ready or meant to be parents.

I know she would press for more details even if I say that it's confidential out of respect for the family. Even if it wasn't, she's a huge gossip and I don't want to share sensitive info with her. Well when we were talking again today, she asked if I had heard anything new and I fucked up. I said what I knew was confidential and now she's mad that I lied (and that I won't tell her more). Like I get lying is wrong but aita for originally telling her I didn't know anything?

I’m sorry for how harsh this sounds, but I see a lot of immature and childish parents in my work. I’m sorry you are having to be the “parent” or emotionally responsible one. I hope your parent doesn’t find this and take it out on you. Good luck kid.

The student who passed was a university student, not a kid. But yeah no it's weird.

a KID compared to her. If anything that makes it worse. For comparison, my sister attended Penn state when the student died mysteriously in a garbage chute and not once did our mom overly pry except for what my sister wanted to share. You’re an ADULT in UNI this isn’t her territory.
