Anyone having a moan about their mother

"just be grateful you have a mother I would give anything to have mine back she died of the plague when I was 5"

ninedragons · 28/07/2011 13:14

The ones in response to any broad, randomised, peer-reviewed study that say "well I didn't [whatever study was looking into] and me/my DS/DD is [opposite result to that found by study]"

"Happy mummy, happy baby" on BF vs FF

"I don't want to look frozen I want to age gracefully" from 23 year olds on just about any Botox thread

BecauseImWorthIt · 28/07/2011 13:18

bibbity - how could you be so rude about my mother?

TattyDevine · 28/07/2011 13:18

"She doesn't even have any children" on any thread mentioning Supernanny...

ZacharyQuack · 28/07/2011 13:21

Any thread where the OP is complaining about her MIL and someone says "you'll be a MIL yourself one day, I hope your son doesn't treat you in this way".

TattyDevine · 28/07/2011 13:22

"I sent mine to full time nursery/down the mine/ boarding school at 2 and a half etc etc and it never did them any harm" probably up to them really, not you

"I want to bring my own children up, otherwise why have them? You might miss their first step/first fart/first tapeworm" from the precious moments mamas

**Disclaimer: My philosophy on child rearing, like I suspect most of is, falls somewhere in between these two extremes

Grin @ ninedragons.

TheBigJessie · 28/07/2011 13:26

In gender stereotyping threads, someone always posts:

"Well, I have one of each, and I can tell you that boys and girls are naturally very different."

mycatsaysach · 28/07/2011 13:27

blah blah boden blah

JarethTheGoblinKing · 28/07/2011 13:27

P&C parking spaces: "Well I never needed them and I had 12 children, and I never complained "

TheBigJessie · 28/07/2011 13:29

Also, in any thread about housework, there always seems to be a response thus: "well, he's a man. He wouldn't realise that the overflowing rubbish bin needed changing/ the rubbish needed to be put out for collection. You've only lived in that house six years!"

PinkSchmoo · 28/07/2011 13:31

I hate the no cursing mob and the grammar police.

Fuck of the lot of you (and yes, it's deliberate).

AyeAvast · 28/07/2011 13:31

On G&T threads about a young child who may or may not be gifted: "enjoy her".
On pretty much any thread where it can be squeezed in: an internet replay of the Four Yorkshiremen where posters try to subtly outdo others' tales of woe.
On threads with a spelling mistake: the correction with a passive aggressive :)

TheWolfpack · 28/07/2011 13:33

Any thread about a DH...

"Why are you with this charming man Hmm?"

"He is abusing you, you need to leave"

Dogsby · 28/07/2011 13:34

YY, any thread where fuckwittery, selfishness and blindness to what needs doing around the house are excused by idiot in question having a Y chromosome.

Added to that, anyone who says DH/Ps should 'help' round the house and 'babysit' their children. They should do THEIR FAIR FARKING SHARE, not HELP. And IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BABYSIT YOUR OWN CHILD.

'Any reasonable person with nothing to hide would be prepared to put up with any indignity, interference or detention by the police if it meant that just one innocent kiddy could be saved or evil terrorist thwarted.'

"It's their time/money/help to do as they want" when people complain their parents/families aren't doing anything for them. Legally, yes - but in life? Families help.

Oh, and people who instantly bring up The Law on every thread, ranging from nappy disposal to infidelity to disinheritance - because that's evidently the only issue going on.
