Not to let my DS to play because they have a problem with me & DH

A couple on my street are that sad and perfectic in my eyes for not letting my 7 year old DS play with there son. When my son calls for theres and they have sht the door in his face, told there child not to talk or play with him. When there child is playing out with one of my DS friends they have told him that if my DS asks to play there child has to come home.
I am so mad I feel like smacking them in the face and I am not a voilent person.
It started a year ago. The couples sister was in our house slagging off her brother inlaw. We made a comment saying that we don't think that her brother inlaw likes us as every time we try to speak to him he put's his head down and won't speak back. A week later I seen the woman at school and went to say hi. She snapped at me saying how upset her husband was because we had called him ignorant. I felt terrible so me & my DH went round with a bottle and a can to apologise. Since then they have never talked to us. Blanked us in the street and now is forcing our kids to stay away from each other.
AIBU to think they are being horrid to my child and being so childish not to speak to us.
If they have a problem with me or my DH fine but tae it out my DS

hairfullofsnakes, I have been civilised to you so please, try and do the same. If you have a problem with the fact that you're wrong then just deal with it like an adult (which I assume you are).

Reeling, it definitely needs an apostrophe: "pedants' corner". If it hasn't got an apostrophe it's for fucking amateurs and I'm not going there!

hairfullofsnakes · 01/08/2011 23:50

Sorry for the hijack op...

I second the trying to talk to them again approath and emphasise how much this is hurting the children. Please let us know how you get on.

MMOC....good evening to you.

ledkr · 01/08/2011 23:52

thanks hairfull its bloody ridiculous on here at the mo,there is a room full of bored people waiting to pounce on anything anyone says and try to enhance their own feelings of self worth,who cares about grammar or spelling on a bloody parenting forum fgs.I mostly type one handed anyway so lucky to even get a capital letter Grin

hairfullofsnakes · 01/08/2011 23:52

Approach...

Night reeling and ledkr

I gotta go to bed seeing as I am only a baby!

Lol...

reelingintheyears · 01/08/2011 23:53

Like i said pumpkin.......laters

I'm sorry you feel that way.

ledkr · 01/08/2011 23:55

pumpkin-you are the one who keeps swearing,is that word in the oxford concise dictionary btw? Has anyone sworn at you on here and was it spelt correctly. Not very civlised,snakes may be easily offended and find it an unpleasnt read.

ledkr · 01/08/2011 23:58

night all.

biscuitmad · 02/08/2011 00:07

Seriously who gives a shit if you see a spelling mistake!!!!

Heather,
Next time your lo comes home in tears. Go straight to the womans house and knock on her door. When she opens it tell her to look at your child and ask her is he happy or sad.

Then tell your lo to go and wait for you by the gate and turn back to the mum and say why wont you let your child play with mine? I've fed up with my lo coming home in tears, I've had enough.

Now if she shuts the door in your face, I would knock again until she opens it and say when why did you do that your not five we need to sort this out.

Personally i think if she she's how upset your child it, she will feel like a bitch and might snap out of it.

Alternatively I would talk to the other parents and saying does she shut the door in your lo's face and see if that works.

pumpkincarver · 02/08/2011 00:08

ledkr, the word "fucking" wasn't directed at any person, it was part and parcel of a sentence. I wasn't aggressive or disrespectful to anyone. I have pointed out both to you and hairfull why you were wrong, whereas you were both rude to me.

Curiousmama · 02/08/2011 00:12

I'd be amazed if the OP bothers coming back tbh. Poor lass only wanted a bit of advice.

sundayrose10 · 02/08/2011 00:14

Hahaha - this thread delivered. Carry on ladies.

OP, don't stress about it. They have done you a favour actually. They sound mean. Encourage your son to make other friends and explain to him it's not his fault, just that adults can be silly at times. Don't be down about it.

hairfullofsnakes · 02/08/2011 05:38

Aw ta ledkr! Nah I'm not offended by dislikable, uptight people - I'll save my emotions for people who matter Grin

Fancy a Brew?

Op - sorry again foe hijack and I really hope those neighbours listen if you say how upset your son is as they are being so silly and nasty.

ledkr · 02/08/2011 07:11

hairful I really didnt think you'd be offended-good god ive seen your posts Grin but she didnt,

pumpkin can you please point out where i was rude to you.
I presume English is not you first language and therefore you may be grammatically perfect but will not have any true understanding of how it can be used when you have grown up using it from a baby,in real life people dont use perfect grammar eg, kids dont say "my friend and i" or i wouldn't say "may i have some nice ham"in the deli cos you would look ridiculous.

Also i must say i find it breathtakingly pompous for you to critisise a person for their English on a parenting forum cos its irelevant,if you know so much our language then you would also know we are a multi cultural society so therefore mulit lingual,many people will not have perfect grammar and diction,we do not go about picking people up on it as in our culture that would be rude.

The op may have been from another country and still learning English.
As for the use of the word "fucking" it does not have to be directed at somone to cause offence,it is a sexual term and not just used freely in conversation in case soemone finds it offensive,as someone who finds a wrong word "unpleasant" then im sure you understand.

I have asked you several questions which you have not answered as have others,will you be doing so,or just repeating your points over and over? Eg. Why were your posts so full of mistakes?Mistakes not typos.

I am sorry if i have caused you offence by my lack of punctuation and spelling mistakes but i have had 3 hours slepp and have a baby on one arm,but you know what? It doesnt matter,not one bit,cos i have my degree and my job and so the pressure's off,i can write how i like,cos this is just Mumsnet and only a few peopel care.

If your intention was to impress and belittle people then you have failed miserably and only served to make yourself look ridiculous and bored.
HTH.

ledkr · 02/08/2011 07:13

ledkr · 02/08/2011 07:16
