Dear lady walking around the lake with your delightful toddlers

[Dogsaresomucheasier]

You know when there is a bit of a pile on here where someone mentions sexism and everyone else insists their partner would never dream of xyz?

I’d really like to think you’ve had a word with yours!

My dog stopped to relieve himself while on our walk. I would never dream of doing anything other than picking up his waste and I can manage that without an audience.

I’m 5ft and female walking a breed of dog typically thought of as a good family pet. If you or your partner are labouring under the delusion he would have stopped to supervise a man and make sure he was a responsible dog owner, or remark,
”good choice” when I turned out to be so and he missed out on his civilian law enforcement moment, I rather suspect you are mistaken.

NAMALT-but yours is!

Yes this has been bugging me since it happened, yes I probably do need to get a life!

firstly with a sense of irony, in a “sort ‘I’m out, love!” sort of way

Yep, that clears that up.

because so many women on here claim to have partners who are enlightened yet here was a family unit where daddy, and someone’s dh, was objectionably sexist

Maybe this woman doesn't claim her partner is enlightened?

I’m finding it so odd that some of you are so affronted by it, I must admit

So, you see one man who are not like the man described by many MNetters, and think we are all lying? What is your point?

They’re probably just sick of idiotic, irresponsible dog owners not picking up after their dogs. I don’t think it’s got anything to do with you being short or a woman.

Why the fuck are you addressing this to his wife like she's responsible for his actions.

“It wasn’t a choice. Dog shits, i pick it up. Not optional. Why do think it is?”

Bloody hell @Dogsaresomucheasier , I bet you’re really glad you started this now
I enjoyed it anyway 👍

Yes, a snappy retort like that would definitely show him who's boss.

You are clearly ridiculous. Yes, I agree you need to get a life!

"Secondly because so many women on here claim to have partners who are enlightened yet here was a family unit where daddy, and someone’s dh, was objectionably sexist without a second thought. "

Have you never read the relationship board?

Far far more women with men who do fuck all in the home or with the kids and clearly think it's the woman's job and announce putting their cup in the dishwasher like they deserve a trophy and a standing ovation.

Wtf ARE you talking about?

Perfect 'thanks for your comment, random man' moment.
Had one the other day taking my 20m old swimming in armbands. Other parents doing class with their babies. no armbands tho they use floats later one. One dad 'Oh no, the dreaded armbands of doom!!' Hahaha, go fuck yourself.

I can’t stay silent when anyone, male or female, talks down to me. I would have told that #@*+&$! that it’s unfortunate HE didn’t make a good choice and kept his mouth shut.

You lost me at labouring under the delusion!

Uh, but why is it up to the "lady" to police her twat of a husband. For all you know it may not have been her DH anyway. Could have been her brother. In any event, write your missive to the twat not the poor woman by his side.

This is kind of a non post …badly described. Surely most of us would just roll their eyes ?

This is definitely the kind of thing that belongs on your local NextDoor, op.

I've had the same. I replied that I'd hardly be walking around with a pocket full of poo and not pick up.

I did wonder at the time if he'd say the same to a 6ft man with a bully type breed or only 5ft women with fluffy dogs.

Argggh poo BAGS!

Agreed.

His was a brave choice of remark to make to a woman with a bag of shit in her hand and a (justifiable) grudge.

OP, women aren't responsible for mens accounts. If you have a problem with a man talk about/to him, not the nearest women he knows.

Wow I can't believe what I've just read. Man does something twattish. Woman gets held accountable. I've read some nonsense on mumsnet in my time but this has to be in the top 5.

It's perfectly clear. Do you have comprehension problems?

I must say, if DH had behaved like that I would have been mortified and would probably have ended up apologising for him. Before I kicked him into the lake.
