my husband and his sister have organised it for the first available date fair enough, but it is friday the thirteenth. I do not want to go and I do not want my DC to go either if he insists that it has to go ahead on this date, because I believe it to be very bad luck.

how about being too busy finding a piece of paper to take one of our DC to A+E yesterday because some lovely little shit from down the road hit him with a golf club?

urgh

here is the stealth reveal

AnnieLobeseder · 30/07/2010 13:10

OK, so you're both horrible selfish people and belong together. Job done!

maduggar · 30/07/2010 13:40

Yes, YABU. He is also BU.You both sound like utter bampots.

maduggar · 30/07/2010 13:41

(I mean he is BU in regards to his previous behaviour, NOT for arranging his fathers funeral on a date you dont like!!!)

coraltoes · 30/07/2010 13:41

I don't think either of you could be more unlucky anyway considering how little you care for eachother. so i doubt a friday 13th wedding will really do any harm.

The most unlucky are us lot getting sucked into this drivel.

Your relationship evidently has bigger issues and you're just seizing this opportunity to be spiteful and vindictive so yabu regardless of date etc.

superstitious · 30/07/2010 14:37

spiteful and vindictive would be to not go, it is not that to not want to go, spiteful and vindictive is not making to time to take your injured son to A+E and then refuse to pick us up afterwards

Can I suggest that you separate the issues into different threads.

LIZS · 30/07/2010 14:46

I'm confused then, are you and dc going regardless or will you not go if it's 13th ?

Wanttofly · 30/07/2010 14:49

YABU

pagwatch · 30/07/2010 14:51

I think OP would need several different threads

AIBU to allow nonsensical susperstition affect my life
AIBU to make my nonsensical issues relevent to the death of my FIL
AIBU to want to use my FIL to pay back my DP for the various resentments I am holding on to
AIBU to try and endlessly increase the negativity about my DP in the hope that others will consider me reasonable
AIBU to have my DCs in the middle of all this pettyminded squabbling. After all they have lost a grandparent

Does anyone else deliberately walk under ladders to freak people out? It always works too, someone will pull a face or something.

Have broken mirrors, been to a funeral on a Friday and wear a lot of black so almost certainly have on a Friday, 13th.

Still waiting for the bad luck...

NicknameInUse · 30/07/2010 14:56

Wow.

Do you actually believe that shit, or are you bored and having a laugh? You're mental if it's the former!

So what about all those Friday 13th's we've all lived through unscathed?
FGS there aren't the words....

RE. the bad stuff about your husband - he's a dick, so leave him - you don't sound like you like him very much tbh.

Don't use your wacky views to be passive aggressive. If you love him, be there for him regardless. The death of his father is a million times more important than your superstitions - you shouldn't have even raised them as an issue.

EmmaKateWH · 30/07/2010 14:56

If this is a joke, then its not funny and haven't you got anything better to do? If its not a joke, then you are mental.

FakePlasticTrees · 13/08/2010 11:51

So, are you going to the funneral today OP?

(I just realised it was Friday 13th and i'm wearing a black t-shirt, and thought of you)
