Rude Mother

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?

For one moment I thought you are Jill Kargman but then she has two daughters...

reelingintheyears · 06/04/2011 23:32

Out yourself then.

Poor little JJ.

Five and a half.

Mummys shagging away.
Daddys shagging away

And he's sent away so they can shag away.

Poor show.

impressive detective work... but no, not me. keep trying.
Rollingin theyears - you need not fear for our son. Daddy has been shagging away, but mummy has not,
Mummy has had a jolly big wake up call and has decided not to settle for half measures.
The extent of mummys crime is having a brief snog with the gardener/handyman, while son is at a sleepover party. No home done.

Mummy needs to have a good long think about whether she wants to spend the rest of her life waiting for crumbs of affection from a husband who makes Casanova look like Mr Bean. There have been others, but i won't go into that.

JJ will have the choice to be a day boy if he likes, as he always has, but he loves boarding life. The Elms is a wonderful school and he adores it.

Definitely bit squiffy now. Off to bed to think and dream. Night night.

The Elms is indeed a wonderful school, but you can't board aged 5.

Hahaha. It is getting better and better. You must be a really really bored housewife hedgefundwidow

Tortoiseonthehalfshell · 07/04/2011 06:25

Your son is at boarding school but your husband and you have only been married for five years, but your son is your husband's son because he is James Junior. Was he conceived on the wrong side of the blanket, OP?

I wouldn't bother with the gardener. I assume there is some other man in the background with whom you have always had an acrimonious relationship, perhaps spitting pithy insults at one another over cocktails, maybe he is your husband's disillusioned half-brother or is he your boss?

twilight3 · 07/04/2011 06:52

I now efel utted I didn't go with my instinct last night and ask if James has an affair with someone in London... such a cliche...bad bad writer you are OP Sad

twilight3 · 07/04/2011 06:53

gutted

If you are a writer, please learn the difference between your and you're.

you're right, and i appreciate your advice about my grammar, but in view of the fact that i was slightly inebriated and had been passionately snogged by a hunky gardener, i think i can be forgiven.
Yes, of course i am deliberately elusive about my son, and rightly so. If you knew his actual name and age, it would make the chances of you discovering my identity far greater. The effects would be catastrophic. I am already in the public eye, and so is my Husband , to a lesser extent.
The interest in discovering a persons ID is voracious.
There can be no greater example than last night; I dropped the name of a friends son school in to the thread with a deliberately mis leading comment, and within minutes, someone had googled it.
Point proven.
I have a close journalist friend whose identity was compromised some years ago. I was privy to the fall out, and i'm not going down that route.
My son is not up for grabs, and neither is my marriage up for an expose, as shambolic as it might be.

Oh Gosh. Then don't come and post all your issues here.

Alouiseg · 07/04/2011 12:33

If this was 6 months ago I'd have money on it being Liz Hurley.

OTheHugeManatee · 07/04/2011 12:45

It's irrelevant as hedgie is clearly a tee ah oh ell ell, but really : Liz Hurley a writer? I doubt she can spell her own name without saying the phonics out loud.

NorksAdrift · 07/04/2011 16:34

Can someone tell me why they stayed with this thread past the big monologue about the lurchers and the loneliness?

hedgefundwidow · 07/04/2011 17:28

Hmmm....presumably because they find it worth reading, for whatever reason.

That's why i get paid to write. :-)

The I WANT TO FUCK THE GARDENER thread is more fun. This thread seems to be pre-occupied with discovering my true identity.

If you don't like it, why are you here exactly?

FellatioNels0n · 07/04/2011 21:20

I'm not.

Alouiseg · 07/04/2011 21:24

Actually we were pretty much all "here" before you. Hmm

usualsuspect · 07/04/2011 21:30

You get paid to write?

Kitsichick · 07/04/2011 22:24

something doesn't ring true with the OP's post-it soulnds like she is being a charcater in one of her books (if she is a writer) It's just too cliched- hedge fund, husband called 'James', the 'ooh I am such a slilly girlie' tone.
Come on 'fess up- you're not real are you!

FellatioNelsOn - what a pleasant change! Although i am rather flattered by some of the identity suggestions so far. :-)

OP posts:
Kitsichick · 07/04/2011 22:30

I didn't read till the end or I would have found out that lots of you think the same thing: that OP is a hoax!:)
I would just add I think she is a crap writer too. That hyperbolic Jilly Cooper breathy style went out of date in the 80's. Even Jilly Cooper left it behind!
Perhaps OP wants to be a writer and is testing out how well she can spin a story. In which case: leave the Fiona Walker novels on the shelf and read better literature. That way you might come up with something more original. And by the way- hardly anyone uses the term 'Hedge Fund' now.

KitsiChick, i solemnly promise, hand on heart that i am real. If i can somehow put pictures on my profile without compromising my identity, i will. I'll stick a bit of paper over my face...
This is who i am. Warts and all....

Nah, you're a fake and not even a convincing one. I hope you haven't set your heart on being a great fiction writer. I think you must be seeking a way to make yourself feel important and special when you're probably sixteen stone with an old lady perm, no kids and live in a bedsit.
