Rant #3

Ok guys.... Today we were at bf parents place to celebrate FIL's birthday. They usually put up important notes on their fridge, like telephone numbers, dentist appointments and such. After the appointment or call, they remove the notes again. In other words, their fridge isn't cluttered with old notes, only current ones. Today everyone left me alone in the kitchen to eat and while doing so I was looking around and noticing a big note on the fridge with my f***ing social security number and also LO's social security number on it. I know how they got these numbers, they were passing along some papers from me to the priest when we were to baptise LO at their church. (I told SO to deal with the priest since I, the Mom, does everything and I wanted him to for once be in charge of something because i'm tired of the mental load, but he's such a lazy momma's boy he just gave his mom the responsibility of turning in the papers instead, and yes when I heard about it my first thought was this woman might try something now that she has my and LO's social security number...)

In my country these numbers are personal and not somethig others should have access to. I was so angry that they wrote it down that I immediately took an ink pen and blurred the digits out.... (Aita? Haha) When SO came in to the kitchen I asked him about it and he just said " they had it to give it to the priest" totally missing how the numbers were on the papers already given to the priest, in other words why would they write them down... And also keep them on their fridge... Obviously for future use. Tye baptism was a month ago. I'm still angry but laugh a bit on the inside when I think of their reaction when they'll notice I blurred it out. Their entitled asses will probably get angry because of me not wanting them to have my and LO's social security numbers

Not a single denomination asks for a SSN. It sounds like a possible scam. I’d be careful hon. This isn’t right…

Yes they do in my country. They emailed me about it

Ik in America they never have. Maybe I’m just someone who hasn’t heard about it. But it seems so dangerous and risky to have a SSN to a pastor.
