I'm fuming. An old work colleague has moved near to me, we always got on OK although she always had a brush up her arse. Anyway we bumped into each other the other day and I suggested she comes round for a coffee. So our two babies can meet. They are both 9 months.

So she turned up, and was very patronising about my house. It's a bit of building site but lounge is lovly. But I got the oohh you were brave doing that colour scheme. It's duck egg blue. Anyway let it go.

So I'm feeding baby girl and she says oh can't she feed herself. So I said she has finger food but mostly just gets licked and thrown. So I feed her whilst she is playing with finger food. Oh MINE feeds herself. Next it's playing on floor. Mine sits up but falls over if left, colleague says oh MINE has been sitting by herself for at least two months. She is very advanced for her age. Then she has made a comment that it's strange to be in baby gro rather than clothes. So I said but she can roll around and play without it all getting skirted up. Oh MINE just screames if she is a baby gro. She likes clothes. Final straw was I'm making a drink and she says oh arnt her eyes close together. So I said no quiet abruptly. To be told maybe it's just because she has a large head!

I'm livid. So I fly in and said exact words " oh fuvk off. You've done nothing but insult my baby, did u come round just to make you feel that your baby is superior". She then said you never could take criticism,

So I lost it and said ( I feel a bit bad about this because her baby is really cute) take your ugly fucking kid and get out, go bitch to your husband ... Oh no you can't cause he is shacked up with his girlfriend. And no I see why.

Ok I feel a bit mean about ugly baby comment but I was livid. I'm fuming so fuming. There was so many digs and comments. Why why why I would never compare my baby to someone else's and I certainly never been so rude.

Blimey. Yes, she sounds pretty hard work, but you lost any moral high ground the moment you were so horrible about her baby. Calling a baby ugly is a pretty mean thing to do.

Think you mix have lost the moral high ground by calling her baby ugly and bringing up the fact that her husband left her. Before that YWNBU to throw her out!

Did you really say that?

I was with you until that, I do like a dog duck egg blue, but you do sound a bit, I don't know, intense?

You are going to need to get used to this and find ways to deal with it without insulting someone's baby and the fact their husband left them. Some people do this with babies. They compete, about everything, so you need to find yourself some strategies to deal with it.

You are going to get flamed but I couldn't help but feel awe and wonder at your reaction. I think she deserved it. However you will be put firmly in your place on here!!!

Oh god. Best just try to blank out the whole awful thing I'd say and move on, obviously you never have to see her again. She sounds like a dickhead but it does sound like you also rather lost it...understandable I guess but not ideal.

She sounds awful and yes, you admitted you were out of order to call a baby ugly but I imagine you were quite enraged and wanted to make her feel as bad as she'd made you feel.

Are your baby's eyes close together?

And you're comfortable about pointing out her husband left her for another woman? Harsh.

Sorry but I had to laugh at this! I probably would've said the same thing! And then regretted it.

I really shouldn't laugh, that wasn't a good way to react, but I'm afraid I did laugh anyway

Good for you!! I fucking hate women like that. The ugly baby comment made me laugh. The baby didn't understand, you were angry. Her saying yours had close together eyes and a big head is basically saying yours is ugly too.

It wasn't a good way to react but that woman sounds awful.

I was totally with you until your last insult. That's far worse calling her baby ugly & throwing her ex leaving her for someone else in her face, than anything she said to you.
She was a bitch but you went so far over the line that you can't see it anymore
