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

[LittleOneMum]

Oh I am so 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 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 so I said "HEY! I am fantastic in bed!"

... tumbleweed. I got a pitying stare.

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

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.

I would LOVE to come out for drinks with you!

That was THE correct thing to say to a bunch of Nigella wannabees with bunting out of their ears!

Good for you OP YANBU (even if you're not THAT fantastic at sex I reckon Marie Antoinette wasn't as great as she thought either)...

I can cook, and sew, I love crafty things (but not people) but talking about that AFTER wine?? On a night out???? ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz I'd have cheered you!

I agree with whoever said they'll be taking you aside over the next few weeks, and wanting tips.

Or if they are prissy catsbum types with bunting coming out of their ears you'll be able to tell, as they'll whisk their husbands out of the way whenever they see you

I think the thing is the initial nights out like this may be about kids/cooking...in fact anything which is "controversial" because you are sussing each other out and just trying to fit in and find common ground.

If 2 years down the road they are still this dry then you have a problem but I suspect you will proably find a few like minded people.

Having read your text message again, I think the mum was sending a friendly message as in you opened yourself up more for others to get to know you better iyswim? not she preferred some mums to others. I think it was personal to you the last bit. that's how I saw it.

Our GNO are pretty raucous and have nearby tables moving away and pointing. But 'fantastic at sex' isn't that a bit like a game of tennis and depends who you're playing with.

I used to do high lobs and smashes when younger and fitter, but now it's more hit the ball over the net from the baseline back and forth for half an hour till you want a lemon barley water and a lie down with a good book.
