to think I am awesome and she is a nobber?

Went to the playground at the beach this morning. It is cold and windy so we had coats and jeans on but barefeet (dd's are like me, you can't walk on sand in shoes!)
Jeans all got sandy, hair very windswept. Walking back to the car we started playing tag on the grass.
I am awesome at tag. The girls cannot catch me, but the grass was slippy and I went down. DD2 yelled 'bundle' and they jumped me, so there we were, the 3 of us, windswept, sandy/muddy jeans, muddy coats, snotty noses, and in hysterics. DD2 had got me in the stomach so I was tickling her on the ground calling her a ratbag.

Woman walks past with her la redoute/boden clad perfect princess and her smart coat and nice shoes and actually tutted at me!!

If I hadn't been so winded I woudl have said something but I just sat like this Shock until she had disappeared.

She was being a cock, right?

I'm finding myself completely distracted by how loud that tut must have been for you to have heard it-do you have bionic hearing or something? GrinOr did she have her disapproving noises megaphone with her?

Or...is it possible you imagined it along with her disapproval, and that in all probability she was far too busy thinking about herself and her own child to be remotely interested in what you and yours were doing?

For what it's worth, I'm with you and agree theres nothing better than running around with the kids outside getting muddy-(although I'd have applied tissues to noses!!) but I don't think either you or me are especially awesome for parenting in that way!

She was snooty, daughter was jealous, you are awesome

Maybe it wasn't a tut. Maybe she had a sort of verbal tic.

I haven't read the OP or the thread but "I am awesome and s/he is a nobber" is what I think most of the time about everyone.

@buzz......OMFG! That website completely takes the cake.

'How to make your own padded coat hangers'.

Edible springtime cushions'?

Framing your baby clothes?????

I obviously need to log off from MN and really fucking prioritise my time better.

toeragsnotriches · 26/02/2011 20:22

Is it me or do Cherry's cherrys look, well, rather like a big pair of bollocks?

Poppity · 26/02/2011 22:00

That website!!Shock

It's like being forced to watch a PDA bizarrely involving only one person.

bettybosseye · 26/02/2011 22:21

I'm particularly bored and grumpy this evening which probably sours my response but from your post you don't sound awesome, infact you sound like a great big pain in the ass, showing off about how much fun you were having with your kids, how relaxed about sand and snot... sounds like you had enough time mid wrestle to make plenty judgements about the passer bys though.
Showing off is for nobbers.

UnquietDad · 26/02/2011 22:22

I am convinced that the perfect "Robert" is, in fact, shagging his secretary/PA and it's all going to fall apart around "Cherry"'s ears in a few months' time.

celticlassie · 26/02/2011 22:26

I just vomited all over my laptop. My home. My home baking. My crafts. Smug self-obsessed cow.

Oh Betty

I fear you are not long for MN Sad

I agree UQD.

OP, the only possible excuse for your behavior is if you were in a tampon ad. Otherwise YABU to not be miserably trying to shelter from wind and drizzle while hoping the kids tire themselves out quickly so you can get back to the car. As for the bare feet, surely you'd be picking shredded condoms out from between your toes for the rest of the day.

DuplicitousBitch · 26/02/2011 22:35

life is just one big venture photography session isn't it?

RamonaFlowers · 26/02/2011 22:37

Sorry, I just cannot stop laughing at: I'm just gutted she tutted.

I am going to have to work very hard to work that into more conversations Grin

mmsmum · 26/02/2011 22:37

Giant cock! You are awesome op and can you take me with you next time you go to the beach please?

tallulahxhunny · 26/02/2011 22:38

why would you even care???

RamonaFlowers · 26/02/2011 22:41

I'm not sure she really does tallulah. I think she would just like a bit of a nice chat and some silliness maybe?

PaisleyLeaf · 26/02/2011 22:43

ewww
What a creepy control freak!
Does she have a partner? - imagine having to live with her.
