Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

My DH also gets sponsored

He’s just a person. Calm down.

So the wife of the semi-famous international superstar DJ is livid that some WhatsApp mums want their kids to go to the cinema, rather than his school disco?

Can't think why...

Did you call the other mum a 'c' in the end OP?

I’m also desperate to know (because I have nothing better to ponder on this morning) whether he is planning to do his usual 90s/festival set for all the 11 year olds?

Or is he going to play Gangnam Style and the Cha Cha Slide, line up the kids for a Conga and throw sweets in the crowd for the best dancers?

The dad I know who’s a promoter for club DJs whenever he played music for his DD’s parties (they always wanted to go out as they got older) always played the random pop stuff they were into. He said they laughed at him if he tried anything more “club” style though they did like Evacuate the Dancefloor and a few Basement Jaxx tracks.

I once got into a private members back in the 90’s ( don’t ask me how I was drunk) and load of Corrie/emmerdale actors were in … I spoke to Lisa Riley in the loos and she was lovely… I fell down the stairs on way out🙈 I’ve also stood next to Peter Kay in a children’s play area.

dh sat on a train and David Attenborough was sat in the same carriage.. he didn’t take a photo and left him alone

kids had a photo with David Cameron at an out of school club, we didn’t know he was going to be there or I’d have kept them home….

don’t mob me for autographs please

Genuine question - what costs does he need the 11 year old children to cover? Surely he has all the DJ equipment already? And his own child’s school must be located within a few miles of your home? What does the £200 cover?

My guess is that the other cunt parent who suggested a cinema trip instead of the disco is flabbergasted that a Europe wide super famous DJ making thousands for his impressive DJing wants to charge his child’s classmates £200 to be in the presence of his super stardom.

Edited

There are no costs he’d have to cover! The most it might be is an insurance premium (which he should have anyway) in case of damage. But all he’s doing is playing at a school. If he’s really tight and needs the money he’d charge for leccy (electricity). Transport, he’d transport decks and records or computer equipment (laptop) in a car. All of this should be covered in his usual insurance.

OP sounded like she was being a twat re the school disco.

He's not charging he's just covering costs 💃

Was this guy in Coronation St? Think I know who it may be if his initials are S.A?

No, not him. I get the impression there are quite a lot like him. It’s a fairly common way for once successful actors and those who’ve been in the public eye more generally to end up. Fame doesn’t last a full career for many people. Even if they continue to be recognized, after a time people’s first thought will often become, ‘Crikey, he looks A LOT older than when he was on telly!!’ I must confess even I sometimes think this about my friend’s DH. If you were well-known in your 20s and 30s, people will always remember you that way and can end up doing a double-take when they catch a glimpse of you in your 50s.

Wasn't Pirate radio in the 60's ?

the whole post just doesn't make sense to me.

No there was pirate radio in 90s. I know because my DB was into it for rave music and the fact they’d advertise raves on it. I was never a cheesy quaver! 🤣

OP can't reply, there's obviously no phone signal at the school gates where she's stood, foaming at the mouth to call another mum a cunt because the other mum wants to do something that will steal op's limelight for having a "really famous" husband!! 🙄

I've never wanted an OP's real identity to be recognised as much as I want this one's to be!!

If you want to you can do what I did yesterday (waiting in line for a car park queue) which was googling British DJs, but in this case ones with year 6 DC. I thought OP said she’d had that thread deleted anyway?

Based on her other thread I sort of think I believe her. In fact I hope she’s not the F1 person I know (very glam, used to come to meetings in a black fedora) because she was really nice. Sounds as though someone says she’s riding on her DH’s coat tails. Not sure why but I’m getting vibes off OP like she goes a bit mad at parties or events where her DH is and gets pissed or indulges in other stuff.

Years ago I had a boyfriend who was a famous musician. He was young, handsome, and charismatic.

Gorgeous young women would flirt with him, making it clear that they were sexually available to him. This made me feel constantly insecure and worried that one day he would sleep with, or indeed leave me for someone far more attractive than me.

There was no benefit to me whatsoever in having this handsome, famous boyfriend.

I read the title and the ops name and thought her Dh was going to be a Sheffield Wednesday footballer.

Ha!

I assumed her name was Meadow L, or she lives in that location on whichever planet is her home.

The complexities of the English language. 😉

Does your DH work in a bar? In Boston? Called ‘Cheers’? Is he Woody Harrelson or Ted Danson?

Can't possibly say. But he's been missing saying he has to work on crime scenes recently.
