To hate it when people say ''isn't mummy silly?''

[poshsinglemum]

or ''hasn't mummy cut your hair yet/washed your face/ bought you the latest designer clothes?''

Ok- you think I'm a rubbish mum but do tell me to my face instead of passive aggressively trying to go through my two year old!!!

Santa said to dd the other day; isn't mummy silly as her boots were on the wrong foot. She put them on herself fgs! grrrrrrr.

Well, is mummy being silly?

My mum does this! Criticising my parenting in a sing-song voice to the baby

YANBU

y are definitely nbu

mil used to do this to me all the time

well maybe mummy was silly not to change them over??
OR maybe he was trying to make jokey conversation with a two year old he doesn't know but which he has to make chit chat with and not scare?

mums and mil are doing the hideous passive aggressive thing

but I think you need to cut santa a break

actually getting as far as Santa with your boots on the wrong foot is quite silly Mummy!

You could respond with " Isn't Santa an opinionated old fart on a minimum wage"

YABU to give a toss. I say it about myself all the time as I am, quite frankly, very silly.

I agree.
Punch in the face territory.

ah HER boots not yours!! Still silly though & clearly I'm silly too.

I tell DD all the time that Mummy's silly! YABU, it's not people trying to tell you that you're a rubbish parent. They're making conversation with your DD.

I think that it's very funny when Santa says it. when other mums say it however; grrrrrrr.

My MIL does this. Most unhelpful. I had to leave the room she asked my 4 week old DD who was inconsolable from Colic "awww what is your nasty mummy doing to my darling baby?"

YANBU it's just a passive agressive dig really isn't it? When it's mothers and MIL. Santa just sounded like he was trying to make conversation though. Can't be easy at times with some people.
