To think informing me about the ill health of a cat is quite important?

[Bearcrumble]

I admit was slightly rude to my mother but she had been doing my head in by texting me about twice a day about stupid things - ie "I am going out with my friend Pat today" or "my cleaner is back from holiday". I was a bit moody (early pregnancy and natural tendency to moodiness) and texted her "please don't text/call me unless it is important".

Now,two days after I sent the text I find out indirectly (DH rang her for something) that my old cat is in the vets and probably going to die.

Surely that counts as important?

[FetchezLaVache]

Good on you, OP, and very glad to hear your cat's on the mend.

I gave myself the id cantspel so people would have advance warning over the fact that i cant spell. I have been hanging about on mn for a while now and this is the first time someone has been so kind as to point out my spelling mistakes so clearly most people get the point of my id.

[TurkeyBurgerThing]

YABU. Bit rude surely?

[JodieHarsh]

I like the idea of such an honest username cantspel

I might change mind to PermanentlyFuckingConstipated

[GloriaVanderbilt]

Cantspel I wouldn't have thought of your id as a literal warning. I don't tend to notice people's spelling. I'm not too bad at spelling but it doesn't bother me if people aren't, there's a multitude of reasons, and FGS I'm crap at so many other things I hope I won't be judged on...life's too blardy short

Plus it's all about what you say not how you spell it

[cantspel]

PermanentlyFuckingConstipated has a nice ring to it

[GloriaVanderbilt]

LOL at Jodie

very honest

I'll change mine then, VerySwearyMumEspeciallyInTheCar and yes your child probably did learn the word fuck from mine

[cantspel]

No we mustn't encourage to many honest ids as how many variations is there of

Yesthisismytrollid and iliketotalkoutmyarse

[MissMap]

When we were on holiday in the States we saw a rather large lady wearing a sweat shirt which exclaimed "Moms have feelings too!"

I think you might try to obtain one and wear it now and again and inwardly digest the message.

[GloriaVanderbilt]

[JodieHarsh]

It would be very therapeutic.

Think of all the things we could get off our chests

mine would be IJustDon'tGiveAFuck.

OP, glad you apologised, and your cat is feeling better.

Mine would be CantWaitToTakeMyBraOffAndLetMyNorksSwingFree.

[Sookeh]

I think you owe cantspel an apology OP.

Being pregnant is no excuse to treat people like crap.

HTH

[bagpusss]

Grandmas have all been mums before and ought to be able to remember what it was like during pregnancy. Sure OP was rude, but her mum should be able to forgive that with good grace. She ought to have said something about the cat, too. I sympathise with OP.

[GloriaVanderbilt]

Pinot I know the feeling

[redexpat]

My sisters and I have given our bonkers mum a list of what constitutes important.
Dad becoming ill.
Anyone (family) being hospitalised.
ANyone (family) dying.
House burnt down/other natural catastrophe.

Otherwise she would leave messages about 'life changing news' so we'd ring in a panic and be told that her god daughter was expecting twins. Hardly lifechanging for us.

[izzywhizzyletsgetbusy]

You've apologised to your dm for being 'snippy'. Snippy? You were downright rude to her.

I'm reading your early pregnancy and natural tendency to moodiness as you naturally being a bad-tempered cah.

Maybe those pg hormones will have a mellowing effect on you; if not, I pity your dc.

[fanjobanjowanjo]

imagine if we all end up being spoken about like this on mumsnet inyears to come? What a pain in the ass we all are etc etc.

[Morloth]

I think my phone would explode if I sent a text like that to my Mum, she would go nuclear, then all my family would here about it and it would be the response to any text I sent for months.

YABU.
