To bring down the swinging knuckle of justice upon DH's shoulder?!

[ICouldDoWithAShandy]

Longtime lurker popping my MN cherry! Greetings one and all!

To set the scene: After a very long and trying day with DD2 3.7 (and the usual before & after school shenanigans of DD2 & DD1 5.6) and with many many long-standing frustrations about currently non-mobile car (flat battery) which is in imminent need of MoT and road tax to remain street-legal.

DH and I were having a discussion about the minutiae of our days and in response to a particularly patronising question from DH, I asked in exasperation, "Why do you feel that I'm incapable of thinking for myself?!" DH: (in usual 'deliberate winding-up for his sport' mode) "Because you're a woman!", so he felt the consequences of the swinging knuckle of justice upon his shoulder. WIBU?!

He is more than a touch sceptical that I will receive independent replies here as it's 'Mums'Net, so I told him that many men tread the boards here too and he 'explained' to me that they must be "under the thumb"... Sigh...

coffee what is nobdie? Can I come play too?

Also shandy am not jealous that your first post of a light hearted nature has far more posts and interest than my first post which was a proper aibu hahaha

Not= now (stupid flaming auto correct on the stupid bloody ipad)

BooyHoo ( NitPicker ) Sorry, I'm currently struggling to get much across, (and in a reasonable reply time) apart from my basic points, such is the state of my keyboard at the moment...

well Icould (husbandbatterer) when people's posts confuse the fuck out of other people, people have to be prepared to clarify a few points otherwise post what you actually want to say and then tehre will be no confusion

nitpicker over and out.

jbcbj Did that count as survival then?! Woohoo! I won't be so daft as to post a new thread in haste next time, will I?!

Will at least wait and check that there are no stirrer's no scary MN-ers baring teeth! Cheers for the beer me dear! ('wine' doesn't rhyme!)

and you still didn't explain what teh WIBU was for.

Ooo I'll have a lurk and possibly even join in if my frazzled brain can keep up....... .....hope I did that right :)

i'm neither stirring nor scary when you talk sense

BooyHoo

Ignore. There are some weak minded hypocrites who post on here.

so i have learned susan.

The wibu was 'was I unreasonable to give dh a tap on the shoulder for making sexist comments'

That is how I took the ops first post, and seems to be how the majority of responders read it also. Personally I don't think it's all that confusing, wording could have been better I guess but as I said previously I hadn't personally made any connection between the words used to title the thread and domestic violence.

I think a lot of x posting caused confusion too

StyleandBooty tee hee hee!

CoffeeDodger Drat! I thought that I had spent sufficient 'observation' time to be a good deal aware of etiquette on MN/AIBU! I will look up that thread you mention, after I have a coffee and a paracetamol!

honeybee007 Hee hee! See you over at CoffeeDodgers suggested thread!

BooyHoo Nice to have 'met' done battle with you! Hope to see you again on another thread, but for now I'm going to migrate over and check out CDs thread for a while! Friends?! :)
Original question was/ought to have read, WIBU for giving DH a tap on the shoulder for being deliberately and blatantly sexist, for his entertainment at my :o reaction, (which turned out to be the SKOJ) See? That would have been a rubbish thread title, now wouldn't it!

Toodlepip all!

Ah well. Look on the bright side, you obviously got the attention you so obviously craved. Not all bad eh!!

neh, still not buying it. i reckon you clobbered him

"baliff! take her down"

STstirrer You are simply deluded hilarious to not have read the OP in the light-hearted manner in which it was obviously meant! You need to unwind! Here. Have this from me!

BooyHoo Ohhhhhh, there are times when I certainly feel like it, but as mentioned waaay back, remaining calm is the most painful thing I can do to him!

and you are simply not as funny as you clearly think you are, dahling.

Night all, I'm off!
