I am one of the siblings, the one that got ganged up on so I of course think its unreasonable!
It happened yesterday but was carried on a bit today. Its all over now except I am still not happy about the way it went.

How are you involved?

It was an argument over siblings kids. Nothing major, but I just feel that the siblings should be left to sort out their own children without being moaned at by own parents too. Just thinking whether I abu for thinking/feeling that.

Both other parties involved are MNers so no doubt they will be along soon enough to put across their view too! I am being very honest though, didn't even namechange for it grin

I can see how they might want to be peace-makers but taking sides just sounds wrong (unless one side is being completely unreasonable). It's surely safer just to keep well out of it though!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
