EXP sent me some photos he took of our dcs on Xmas day, some in my house and some in his mum's house. in the ones in his mum's house his mum is wearing a very short sexy santa outfit with alot of cleavage on show, black fishnets and black knee high stiletto boots. i would have no problem with this if it was just her and her DH but this was with her children and grandchildren there for the day. i can't help thinking, tehre's a time and a place and Xmas dinner with the whole family isn't it.

It IS cringey and boak-tastic, but chacun a son gout....

i'd take a deep breath and then burn the photos Wink

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 05/01/2011 20:07

Oh Sad

The Christmas hats have gone.

mutznutz · 05/01/2011 20:07

No age is NOT irrelavent!!

If an 80yr old with saggy cleaveage and a turkey neck were to dress like that it would look ridiculous. If a 41yr old woman (assuming he has a half decent figure) were to dress like that then it wouldn't necessarily.

mutznutz · 05/01/2011 20:08

'She' not 'he' lol

friedtoacrisp · 05/01/2011 20:09

Yes OP. Delete them. Then burn the computer. Sterilise the house. Get those kiddies in the bath and for the love of mercy bleach everything!

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 05/01/2011 20:10

well some might say a 40 year old looks ridiculous in it. some might say anybody looks ridiculous in it and for taht reason i think age is irrelevany. i'm not ageist.

friedtoacrisp · 05/01/2011 20:11

I'm sure you're not 'ist' anything but you sure are uptight about stuff.

charliesmommy · 05/01/2011 20:11

we know... or sexist...

or probably any other 'ist

Wink
mutznutz · 05/01/2011 20:11

You may not be ageist but I'm assuming you're not blind either?

As I said if she has a half decent figure then it'll probably look ok. If she was 80 odd years old then no matter what her figure is like, you can bet short skirt, fishnets, boots and cleavage would look as bloody stupid as your denial sounds.

denial about?

OP posts:
friedtoacrisp · 05/01/2011 20:13

Agrees with mutz. And I still say it's nobody's business how anyone chooses to dress unless they've got their dangly bits out and flapping in the digestive biscuits.

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 05/01/2011 20:13

i didn't say she looked ridiculous. i said some might say she did.

OP posts:
mutznutz · 05/01/2011 20:14

Denial about the fact a 41yr old with a half decent figure would look better in the outfit than an average 80 odd year old woman because god forbid your honesty might make any pearl clutcher think you're an 'ist' for goodness sake.

charliesmommy · 05/01/2011 20:15

so you thought she looked sexy then?

could you be a teeny bit jealous of her perhaps?

mutznutz · 05/01/2011 20:17

Well 'some might say' anything about anything or anyone so what's the point in adding that?

Some might say you're coming across as a somewhat bitter and dried up prude who wouldn't know a bit of Christmas fun if it jumped out of the pudding and shot right up your arse.

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 05/01/2011 20:17

no i definitely wouldn't call it sexy. thankfully she wasn't wearing it for my benefit so taht isn't an issue.

OP posts:
ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 05/01/2011 20:19

soem migt say you could be right mutz, some might not.
