Rude Mother

[hedgefundwidow]

Hello everyone.

My son bought a friend back from school today which was fine. No problems. WHen his Mother came to collect him she looked around at my kitchen with a definite sneer and barely thanked me for having had her son after school. My house iS slightly chaotic at the moment because i am under work pressure, but i found her attitude offensive. AIBU?

no, nothing wrong, I just found it funny that the two main parties in a story have nannies and au pairs and cleaners, made me chuckle, that's all..

There is a wide demographic on MN, some of whom have to get by on very little. It is considered very a bit off to come on here and be quite so obvious about what you have.

So, has the washing machine packed up, or are you incapable of loading and unloading it?

how about going to see some of the people that come and stay?

The term is bed linen, not bed laundry. Did you say you were a writer?

Hello BootyMum, yes, we are very lucky. But i do sometimes long for a nice little 2 bed room cottage with roses round the door and no pony paddocks to poo pick. I don't even really like horses! But in fairness, JJ does his share when he's home on exeat for the weekend. Cant grumble.

Don't forget the bed linen being laundered... I am so !

I don't think people who aren't poor should hide what they have or pretend to be poor in order not to offend anyone... ( and I say that having been rich in the past and being poor atm)

sorry - yes it's linen. But it goes in the laundry. Oh, you know what i mean. Told you i was frazzled.
Yes, i'm a writer. Why, do you write too?

well... you work from home and he works away, the childcare comes to you... sell your big house that can take ten guests and go for that little cottage that you so long for...

Unless of course there's no laundry service near the cottage

don't be green faced! I would do anything NOT to have to go round like a loon making sodding beds up! I just want to collapse in the bath with my manuscript and a bottle of cold Sancerre. But no, i am about to scrape encrusted egg from the floor, scrub dough from work surfaces and balance on a rickety stool to remove play dough from the beams. How did it get on the beams??!!

i can't say i'm not sorely tempted.... I used to like doing my own laundry! It was comforting. I like nesting.

YANBU but you are being over-sensitive.

what does a biscuit mean? Is that for me? Thankyou!
and you are right, i am owed a few too many return weekend invitations!! I might just start calling them in.....

i am oversensitive, and tired at the moment.

I am swinging wildly from to

Oh I am , very

awww...JJ helps out?... how sweet of darling, caring, hard-working JJ

? Why the sarcastic tone? I don't understand?

Just joined MN today, then, hedgefundwidow?

You remind me of cotswoldcountrymother. You're not related are you?

i did, been meaning to join for a while now but was minus a lap top - not very helpful having to write longhand. My writing is awful. Almost 7pm. I think i WILL have that glass of wine. Need it after the day i've had. Bye for now. x

Silly stuck up prune face

I'd have definitely been up for a at 5pm!! Probably earlier

oh, don't go now, I'm having fun..
