'It makes my teeth itch when people say haitch instead of aitch'

'You are a racist oppressor. I bet you pushed all heads that were red down the toilets in school.'

'My DCs are away tonight and my DP has just sent me a saucy text suggesting we, you know, do it. I mean, FFS, what does he think I am, some sort of Sky on demand service? I mean, I probably will fancy it after the lovely bottle of wine but that's not the point, is it?'

Leave him immediately. You are not some partner with whom he can have sex with just because you he fancies you, you have an empty house, some free time and a lovely bottle of wine in the fridge. He needs to learn some boundaries.

OrdinaryJo · 28/07/2011 17:49

While I'm here, can someone please explain the facebook is the devil thing because I just don't get it...

KristinaM · 28/07/2011 17:51

AWBU to go back to work full time in our executive careers and have my mother look after our baby 60 hours a week unpaid?

cue 50 posts saying no of course you're not , that what feminisim is all about

yup, two well paid university educated 20/30 somethings exploiting a middle aged woman who never got half their chances in life

Fooffy · 28/07/2011 17:57

AIBU to... (in title)

open post in anticipation

...scratch my arse (or insert other utterly random and mundane question)

I wasted 3 valuable, precious seconds opening that crap.

AND "It's so hard having a G&T child. "

"perfectly sensible answer"

"No you haven't got one so you don't understaaaaand" "Waah"

If you lived somewhere less common in London or the south east you would UNDERSTAND why £50,000/year is damn near impossible to live on. My OH works REALLY HARD and pays SO MUCH tax and we don't get anything back. It's really not fair when homeless people are given flats in Mayfair and we have to make do with Hammersmith. And their children get free swimming lessons.

Hee Op, have my first Biscuit

'I saw a man/woman/alien/cyborg park in a disabled space,they leapt/pole vaulted/abseiled out of their car and sprinted/dashed/ran into the shopping centre.Hmm'

Serenitysutton · 28/07/2011 18:09

Gaslighting Grin pretty serious situation yet frequently suggested for minor misunderstandings by people who don't know what they're talking about.

plantsitter · 28/07/2011 18:10

On a thread about pushchairs on the bus/ folding them, someone will ALWAYS talk about when their twins were babies they used to take a weekly food shop, a home made cake for their older kid's birthday AND a new bathroom suite on the bus and always folded the buggy and sat down. You just managed because you had to.

nikkinoonoo · 28/07/2011 18:14

Haha this is cracking me up! I am new to mumsnet but i can't stand. The angry birds on here that moan that they are getting too much sex! WTF??!!! Do you not realise how lucky you are! U smug bastard do you not realise how depressed this makes me??!!! Aarrrrrgggh

MissyBrookes · 28/07/2011 18:15

"At the supermarket today, whilst sitting in the car waiting for my child to fart, i saw someone pull into a P&C space with a child seat, but NO CHILDREN WITH THEM Shock and that is so unreasonable, obviously!"

Thats common and annoying enough, but then someone ALWAYS pipes up with...

"well how do you know they weren't picking up their DP and child?"

I've seen FOUR of these thread in the 6 months i've been on here!!!!! And they are always the same.

LetThereBeRock · 28/07/2011 18:18

Around Halloween.Trick or Treating:AIBU to think that this is just a nasty,thuggish, American tradition which has no place in Britain?

Around Christmas: AIBU to be furious with my child's teacher for telling him that Santa,which is yet another ghastly Americanism,will be delivering his gifts,and not Father Christmas?

Mothers day. AIBU to complain about the card I saw today which said Happy Mother's day Mom? This is the UK not America!

mental illness=any unsavoury behaviour
personality disorder = git boyfriend
get counselling,aye its available to all.no waiting list

AlmaMartyr · 28/07/2011 18:23

I like on the MIL threads where someone pipes up with "well, she raised the man you love so can't be all bad!!!" as if anyone who manages to raise a child who is even vaguely decent as an adult must be an oracle of parenting and reason.

LetThereBeRock · 28/07/2011 18:27

They're so much more child friendly in France/Spain/Italy/Greece etc.Everyone loves children there and they behave perfectly.People in the UK loathe children and their parents.

Same poster a week later.
Some old cowbag dared to touch little Precious's hand today! And I'm almost sure that I heard her say hello to her! How dare she? I've had to stick a flea collar on Precious,and I've just spent six hours bathing her in Lysol.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 28/07/2011 18:32

OP asks 'AIBU to expect my 17 year old to do some washing up and for his bedroom not to smell like that of an undiscovered serial killer?'

'well I dont expect my children to work for me. This is their home. You chose to have a child now you are complaining that its too much work. YABVVVU'

scottishmummy · 28/07/2011 18:36
