Because I do mind... I really, really mind and can't quite tell why I mind SO MUCH.

DP's taking my Mum home after a weekend stopping with us - about 50 mile journey... has some speciality sausages he wants to deliver to his Mum and Dad on his return journey.

I bought the lunchbag for DS today... after he's wanted one for months, and it's HIS and it's for LUNCHES and it's NEW and I don't want yukky frozen sausages hauled about in it... Angry

I also know this is SO TRIVIAL it's laughable

SO... AIBU???

ANGRY HOT INSIDE KIND OF MINDING Hmm

Do you get out much OP?

YouaretooniceNOT · 10/04/2011 22:22

Yes, bring back hanging...Confused

NorksAreMessy · 10/04/2011 22:27

Leave him!!!! Grin

Merrylegs the exciting thing about these sausages was that they had black pudding in... bleurggh!! Grin

FunnysInTheGarden I have job - studying for Post Grad - I have major worries too (some other threads may reveal this)

I don't want to hang him Shock, it's not DP I mind, just his misuse of lunchbag. And even I know it's not a leaving offence!!

(Christ, it took me 7 years to leave a fucking alcoholic Hmm)

I'm better now anyway, have continued to get on with life essay about maternal deprivation in infants... has put it all into context.

Sneice - Yes, thank you Smile

Please let this go Classic.
It's got all the ingredients.

YABU, but it is totally understandable at the same time Grin

A friend kept asking to borrow DS1's travel cot which I had bought brand new and he had used once or twice. I kept making ever more ridiculous excuses because I just did not want anyone except DS1 to sleep in it - totally precious and more than a little mean but i just couldn't bring myself to do it Blush

It is all over now isn't it? Hopefully your DS is off at school looking lovingly at his sausage infested lovely new lunchbag.

While I definitely have more important things to worry about, if my husband had taken our child's new bag to transport sausages, I can imagine getting quite upset.

However, in our household, it would be far more likely to be me who did such an icky thing, if my husband didn't stop me at the brink of committing the horrific crime!

Grin at "sausage infested"

flyingspaghettimonster · 11/04/2011 14:46

I wouldn't mind, unless my DS did (and he would, terribly, he would probably never forget it). Kids get precious about first times and new things...

wabbit · 11/04/2011 21:22

Oh No! I couldn't have told DS Shock (he might not have minded - but then, I'd have minded his not minding Confused)

DS was SO proud of his new lunchbag today (it's his first ever - not like it's a replacement for a previously loved lunchbag... but the ONLY lunchbag! Grin)

He trooped into Kindergarten and showed it off to the assistant (who was, I have to say, magnificently impressed, in the way only the best assistants can be.)

He sat with it on his lap all 26 miles to Kindergarten and all the way back... sigh of satisfaction for such a well chosen lunchbag!

I'll not tell him about the sausages usurping its maiden voyage ever!
