... to have said "well I'm fantastic at sex!" on Mums night out...

Oh I am so Blush Blush this morning.

Went out last night on my first ever nights out with the Mums from DS's nursery class. I don't know any of them well. Many glasses of Wine were drunk (by all of us).

At one point during dinner, they were all boasting horribly talking about how they cook amazing meals, referred to how hard it was to find ingredients I had never heard of, one of them made all her DD's clothes, one of them had just made her DD's school play costume from scratch (Marie Antoinette, would you believe). They all had some domestic talent and then they turned to me and said what about you?

Now, I work F/T (no excuse I know) but I can't cook (lasagne is about the extent of it), can't sew, etc etc and I couldn't think of anything and was a bit Envy so I said "HEY! I am fantastic in bed!"

... tumbleweed. I got a pitying stare.

and I'm not sure it is even true... Wink

BUGGER. Please make me feel better by saying that AIBU and that you have also said some stupid things. I don't think I can ever do the school run again.

Hahaha good for you. I'd have sat and chatted with you. I hate the Domestic Goddess oneupmanship thing.

Thingumy · 26/05/2011 11:36

At least it shut their boasting up

Well done you I say

Grin

(now they'll think you are after their men!)

CurrySpice · 26/05/2011 11:37

I would have really laughed and decided there and then you would be my new best friend :o

Aworryingtrend · 26/05/2011 11:37

Grin Good for you!!!! Boring bints, who talks about arts and crafts on a night out? YANBU to ahve said what you did but YABU to be embarrassed about it. Hold your head high!

LittleOneMum · 26/05/2011 11:37

thingumy that is not helping.... Grin

Ha, this sounds like the sort of thing I would do! They were probably just jealous.

I never fitted into Mummy groups anyway because of my bluntness/truthfulness - the last time I went to one DS was 4 months old (he's now 3) and they were all bragging about their little angels sleeping through the night, rolling, sitting, absorbing encyclopedias through osmosis. I got a bit fed up and said "well, DS did a crap so big this morning I nearly emailed a photo of it to OH".

I too got mowed over by the tumbleweed.

Flisspaps · 26/05/2011 11:38

I think I love you.

manicbmc · 26/05/2011 11:38

Find out where the normal people hang out and go out with them next time. Those women sound like a right pain in the arse. Grin

nickelbabe · 26/05/2011 11:39

they are the unreasonable ones.

fancy trying to do one-upmanship on a night out???
Shock

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 11:39

bollocks to them love if they have to sense of humour, i went to get a colscopy the other day and the doctor asked me if i smoked and i said yes, he said it was bad for your cervix and i said i dont smoke through my vagina. happily he laughed. i am forever saying things like that, especially if i am a bit nervous or something. also at a dinner party some people were talking quite politely about anal sex and double penetration in a well behaved kind of way and i being a bit pissed, yelled cunt and ass fucking YEAH!! so not to worry i think that is probably worse.

Pagwatch · 26/05/2011 11:40

I have never,ever heard anyone bragging about talents, let alone turn to someone else and say ' well what do you do'.

Mostly people seem to be very self deprecating and uncomfortable about being seen as bragging in a " well I do love to cook I am not sure I am very good - haven't killed anyone yet anyway" kind of way
What an odd group?
I would avoid them. They sound very strange

SuePurblybilt · 26/05/2011 11:40

They were just struck silent with envy Grin.
Mums boasting in turn about domestic skills does not sound like a good night out to me, I wouldn't be bothered if they pitied me.

If it helps, I one straightened up after talking to my DD in preschool and knocked an entire shelf of jigsaws over with my arse, in front of the school run mums.

SarahStratton · 26/05/2011 11:40

You do realise that the women will now be dying to ask you for details tips and their DHs will be insanely jealous of you DH.

Best possible response under the circs IMO.

DoMeDon · 26/05/2011 11:41

Was ready to YABU - it's a bit 'ooh look at me, I LURVE sex, woo hoo' - like the women who say 'you'll get used to me I'm crazeeee'. But in the circs YANBU - bore off with your sewing/cooking/'I'm such a great wife/mother' bollocks!

Also it's the kind of thing I'd say in that situation Grin

Animation · 26/05/2011 11:41

Those women sound like a nightmare - I know the type - all trying to tell the best stories and out do each other. So boring.

You were GOOD!

CurrySpice · 26/05/2011 11:41

cannydoit I am intrigued as to how you talk "quite politely about anal sex and double penetration in a well behaved kind of way" :o

Dinosaurhunter · 26/05/2011 11:41

I avoid those types of boring " nursery friends " nights you sound much more interesting and a real good laugh .

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 11:42

yep sounds like a fucking awful night out, come to brighton and we shall go for cocktails and be horribly inappropriate together Grin

SarahStratton · 26/05/2011 11:42

Canny, do you really go to dinner parties where they talk about that sort of stuff? Envy

ginnny · 26/05/2011 11:42

How on earth do you have a polite conversation on that subject cannydoit???
If I'd been there I'd have laughed my head off and given you some more Wine
I hate women like that and would probably have said the same (or worse)
Grin

purplepidjin · 26/05/2011 11:43

Please have your next dc at the same time I have my first - it sounds like you're going to be the only other sane person at mum and toddler group Shock

MonstaMunch · 26/05/2011 11:44

lol, how hilarious

I would have piped up, ooh your husband says different Grin

Twit · 26/05/2011 11:44

Grin I think I'd have been sat in the corner with you TBH although I dabble in (crap) cooking and have a go at sewing (again crap) etc.
I told a couple of women (from the school playground) who were going on about my being pregnant again (in Tescos) it was 'cos me and DH have so much sex I guess it was bound to happen. Cue cat's bum mouths, DH Blush and me Grin. DS1&2 were both like 'muuuum' & various other customers sniggering. I even got a Wink.
Sometimes you just have to do it.
Hold your head high, look a bit smug and walk like John Wayne next school run.

strawberrymewmew · 26/05/2011 11:44

I would have been in stitches had you said that when I was there. Comments like that are much more fun than cooking or sewing. ;)

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 11:44

do you know i dont really know but they were, if ericnorthmansmistress comes on here she can tell you she was there, and there was the tumble weed moment were some quite well to do people just stared at me and then my more normal friends just pissed themselves.
