Oh I have to take a look now.

How very dare you have a different opinion from someone! Shock

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 07/12/2010 20:33

Oh wow. She really hates her mother in law doesn't she. So much so that she hates other people's too! Gosh.

One day.

Hopefully.

We will all be mothers in law.

I hope we aren't all hated.

Well, you did tell someone else to stop being a twat. Norty. Grin

Basically I think the idea of anyone sticking up for a mil angered her because she hates her mil so much.

It was pure emotion. There was no logic there, I wouldn't worry about it.

"i don't think i will be a mil as my kids are all strange looking and weird "

ha. I do wonder if mine will find a woman who likes the windows start up sound yelled in her ear at 6 in the morning, or enjoys being called to the loo to admire a "monster poo"

If your son finds somebody who is happy to have you in bed with her then I will look forward to seeing you on Jerry Springer Wink

My eldest used to use me as a dummy. You know that little flutter thing they do with their tongue? Oh, and he teethed on me. I have actual scars.

yes but by the time you realise, you then can't catch up on the whole thread so you either have to jump in half-arsed and make a fool of yourself or forget it.

Grrr

GrimmaTheNome · 07/12/2010 21:22

See, that MIL thread is too long. I'm not going to read it. Just one word of advice. Do not under any circumstances say anything like 'thats awful fierce bakey bin bags' to the OP.

Really. Don't.

Rollmops · 07/12/2010 21:29

Them Oiks I say....[hoohummm]

Ormirian · 07/12/2010 21:30

No. Neither can I.

TrillianAstra · 07/12/2010 22:17

I don't like it when an AIBU is not a question.

"Am I being unreasonable the school has just sent me a letter"

What, the school sent you a letter and you want us to say if you are being unreasonable? What, are you unreasonable to receive the letter? Yes, terribly unreasonable to open your post. What?

Am I being unreasonable to...?
Am I being unreasonable regarding...?
Am I being unreasonable about...?

These are all good ways to start an AIBU.

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 08/12/2010 07:31

or when it's not a question any sane person would ask

"aibu to be cross that someone has smacked me in the gob?"
"aibu to be afraid after I've been threatened?"
"aibu to take my sick child to the doctor?"

Why? I mean WHY?

You're not asking if you are being unreasonable. You're chatting.

Fuck off to chat. Grin

I tell you, if I could get in the back end of this website, I'd do some serious filing!!!

TSC - oh dear. She's clearly very upset about something in life. Ignore. It's a shame when someone is so hate filled that they blow like this over something so unimportant. Always, ime, a symptom of something else going on.

poor woman has clearly got a big problem. It's really unfortunate Sad
