... 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.

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 11:58

fearnelinen · 26/05/2011 11:58

Canny I've just seen your pics - is there any other kind of top? Wowzers! Did he stand up at all, bet not?

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 11:59

its true unless i wore a polo neck all of the time.

Camerondiazepam · 26/05/2011 11:59

Ah, well I don't live in your part of London then!

Carrotsandcelery · 26/05/2011 12:01

Ah LittleOneMum that explains so much Grin No one would bat an eyelid at that comment in Glasgow - apart from maybe asking you to prove it!

Oh, no, just had an email from one of the Mums, thanking everyone for a lovely night out. It then says this:

"Lovely to get to know you all a bit better - some more than others!"

OH NO! It was a joke ! Blush aaaargh!

I've just had a nose too at canny er, possibly more to the point did he lean over to you to show you some work? Grin

JeremyVile · 26/05/2011 12:01

What pag said.

How crap that you eneded up on a night out with people like this - the whole thing sounds like a lazy sitcom, amazed these kind of exchanges really actually happen.

How bizarre.

BellaBearisWideAwake · 26/05/2011 12:02

I met a whole lot if new mums including a friend of mine, and I was so excited at having just got my mirena coil from the pharmacist that I greeted all these women (who I was meeting for the first time courtesy of my good friend) with "look at the size of this box!!!" and then a full break down of my contraceptive plans. And then introduced myself. Think I really embarrassed one of the women, whoops.

Beckyitisthen · 26/05/2011 12:02

Ha, ha! I know how you feel though, I'm part of a group like that from my ds yr one mums. None work, unlike me, they cook, make wonderful craft stuff for the summer fare, they have immaculate houses. Really though I think they're all just bored and can't work because they don't have a career to go to. Jealous? Me? Never Wink don't worry about the sex boast they will probably have a new found admiration for you! X

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 26/05/2011 12:02

They are jealous and it's a much more interesting thing to say than to go on about your baking or whatever.

JeremyVile · 26/05/2011 12:02

"some more than other"???

Really? Oh my goodness.

Pagwatch · 26/05/2011 12:02

Wellthen, to be fair, it doesn't sound quite so much as though they were boasting - more clinging to any common ground that came up to try and get over the awkward early part of the group thing.

Are they actually a weird, snotty humourless group?

Or are they more likely just a group of women, like all the ones on here, who are just a bit nervous and anxious that they won't fit in?

I personally doubt they will be gossiping or judging. I suspect most of them, like most people on the thread, just found it funny

Twit · 26/05/2011 12:04

But she might be meaning it in jokey way, in which case do as I suggested earlier, head held high, wee bit smug and walking like John Wayne.

In fact do that anyway.

Pagwatch · 26/05/2011 12:04

Really Becky?

Bored and can't work because they don't have a career to go to?

Really?

JackyJax · 26/05/2011 12:05

Oh how weird, I never meet women like that. Instead the mothers I seem to attract all seem to do one downmanship eg you think you're rubbish at cooking/mothering/being married well listen to how rubbish I am...

Marie Antoinette for God's sake! Now that sort of bragging would bring out the naughty side of me too....

Am sure they're all busy at home googling how to be fabulous at sex and making sure their husbands are kept away from you at all school functions.

WanderingSheep · 26/05/2011 12:05

Ledkr why does that story not surprise me? Wink Grin

LittleOneMum · 26/05/2011 12:05

Pag I think you are entirely right. They seem a nice lot and it is hard to find common ground initially. I am not angry with them at all. I just feel a bit mortified now that the alcohol has worn off... Glad to hear that you don't think they will be too judgy.

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 12:06

hahahaha twit now you come to mention it.
little did it really say some more than others? what a fucking bitch?
on a serious note you really dont need people like that in your life, you have kids, partner,job etc. you need friends and fun. not judgement and boredom and they obviously need some orgasms.

LittleOneMum · 26/05/2011 12:08

I think it was meant to be funny and probably she is just trying to make me feel better. She's actually one of the nicest ones.

hehehe obviosly i have taken the harsher ground than some of the others Grin

JeremyVile · 26/05/2011 12:09

Oh fucking hell...can just about handle the cliched (and based on what exactly?) accusations of jealousy, but are we really going down the They-need-a-good-fucking route now?

Balls.

cannydoit · 26/05/2011 12:10

hey well in that case give it another try and just buy them some shots next time Grin
