AIBU?

To be annoyed at SIL saying my DC are spoilt?

During dinner she started to compare DS1 to her friends' DC, who apparently are all angels, sit through 2 hours at the table to wait for the adults to finish their meal, never shout or run around and never have to be told off.

It seems that what I thought was normal boyish behaviour for a 3.5 year old is, according to her, evidence that DH and I are not strict enough and that we are spoiling him.

She has a DC of her own who is much younger.

Wow, your Mother must be so proud of you using language like that.

Or should I say Father?

Or perhaps you object to me mentioning gender at all......

Just ignore nasty comments. Unless they are running across the table and throwing chicken legs/caviar/quail eggs then I think you are good.

I think invoking Godwin's law on the first post has to be a record, no?

Fabby - at no point did the OP say her SIL was suggesting that children should be made to invade most of Europe and commit genocide. How is Hitler relevant?

Remind me of Godwin's law again please tethers - it's too late at night for Google.

Im not even pregnant yet and I dare say I will live my life by this forum. I will refuse to be proven wrong until Ive been flamed in the AIBU. I will discuss my EWCM. I will not flounce, or mark my spot on threads, call anyone Hun, love, or sweetie, I wont (((hug)) I will say cock, twat, fannies and the occasional C*nt and join in the odd bun fight and be safe in the knowledge that its always going to be his fault. Somehow.
