your pants on, I’m a human not a puppet”.

Are all things I’ve said to the kids today. I wouldn’t mind so much if they weren’t 13 and 19.

So precisely when does the ridiculous statements toward your kids period end? And I speak as someone who’s mother confiscated her unicycle at the age of 31 informing me “you’re 7 months pregnant, you look like a speeding weeble and I really don’t care that you’ve ‘nearly mastered corners’ FGS CHILD” whilst ramming it in the boot of her car.

I regularly tell my 14yo to stop licking the dog and to take his fingers out of the dogs mouth.

HoneyDragon · 10/01/2023 19:30

He licks the dog? What dog do you have? I need a proper mental picture 😀

I'm not sure it does end, but at some point you may find it's them saying these ridiculous types of things to you. Tbh in the OPs case that may be more likely than not.Grin

Speeding weebl is hilarious.

sittingonabranch · 10/01/2023 20:04

Speeding weeble 🤣🤣🤣 just spat out my tea!! Thank you for the laugh OP. My kids are younger than yours so I can't say when it'll end, sorry.

Although my Mum did tell me off for free climbing at 21, does that count? 😉

Soubriquet · 10/01/2023 20:08

Btw, I only just spotted the pregnancy. Congrats OP. Don’t turn this one blue

HoneyDragon · 10/01/2023 20:17

NOT PREGNANT <screams> that was back when I was 31. I am not doing babies again it’s really really hard to keep them in one piece.

Irrelevant query - did you get your unicycle back? Or did your mum dispose of it permanently?

My DH used to get cross with me when I was pregnant and borrowed my sister’s wheelchair to do wheelies.

FadedRed · 10/01/2023 20:26

Best thread I seen for far too long on MN! 10/10 for ‘speeding weeble’ the mental image will stay with me. 😂🤣

HoneyDragon · 10/01/2023 20:33

She made me part ex it at the bike shop for a naice sensible ridgeback.

Matilda your dh is no fun, at least it wasn’t the car.

Yours sounds like a fun family! Enjoy.

Curlygirl06 · 10/01/2023 20:44

I want to get a pair of Heelies, and my husband and children rolled their eyes and sighed. I'm 62 next week!

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 10/01/2023 20:45

So a permanent removal then? In true MN style, I assume you decided your mum was showing narcissistic tendencies, and went NC. Grin

In fairness to my dh, I wasn’t actually very good, and had an unfortunate tendency to fall backwards. Dsis wasn’t very impressed, either. Particularly as her wheelchair cost nearly as much as a small car.

Last summer I told my ds off for messing around and nearly falling from an upstairs window.
He was playing hide and seek.
He was 27...

I broke my arm practicing a new move at a roller disco last year. I'm in my mid-40s (but I love it. Next disco is in two weeks...!!)

"No I don't think strawberry laces will be an adequate replacement for broken laces in this weather, DS17"Hmm

"Why the Arrant Fuck have you got duct tape on your shoes, ChaoticBoy?"

Gigantic shoe woes in this house today.

Shoes bought on 4th September totally FUBARED; when does that horror end? Shock

Stop humpinig your sister
Leave her fanny alone
Stop trying to get your brother to do that to you.

Ok so it was to my dogs and they are not biologically related, not that that would make a difference, I don't think. Female is in heat and male is neutered but willing.

When I saw your name then red your post I was quite concerned there for a moment 😂😂
