Well, that's my story trumphed. [pout]

AKMD · 28/11/2011 12:58

How old is her DD? Sounds a bit odd but I am laughing.

Are you sure it was the mother, not the Romanian nanny?

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 28/11/2011 12:59

Depends - was she cycling in clown shoes, if so then YANBU?

Bet she had a hand knit jumper on too the feckless gomper

tooearlymustdache · 28/11/2011 13:00

YABU for using all those exclamation and questions marks.

and have a Biscuit to dunk in your Brew

fancy a cake, OP, i've just bought some lovely fresh cream splits Grin

"So-called mother"?

Is the name rescinded if you are a unicyclist?

I think you are racist against those who choose lesser-wheels forms of transport.

Do you sneer a little when someone goes past in a Robin Reliant?

northernwreck · 28/11/2011 13:01

Report her on that special number you can call to tell them about Bad Mothers. Oh, wait, there isn't one YET!! Grin

entropygirl · 28/11/2011 13:03

YABVU

unicycling is safe as houses unless you are doing simultaneous fire poi...

StealthPenguin · 28/11/2011 13:09

Oh leave her alone, she obviously has mental health ishoos! And her husband is a gigantic prick that she needs to divorce!

ragged · 28/11/2011 13:10

Oi, no fair, I don't see any dripping, yet. No fun without the drip drip.

AFuckingFestiveKnackeredWoman · 28/11/2011 13:11

You need to go snatch her DD and deliver her to ss!

Then go steal her unicycle and send it to me...Ive always wanted one

picnicbasketcase · 28/11/2011 13:11

I saw someone juggling their two month old triplets once. They seemed to be enjoying it, so it's all fine.

Whatmeworry · 28/11/2011 13:12

Yes, but did she have a cushion on her head? Otherwise it could have been a bit dangerous.

OrmIrian · 28/11/2011 13:12

A unicycle? Tsk..... she was lucky... In my day it would have been one roller skate with the ball bearings gone.

startail · 28/11/2011 13:16

Grin thanks I needed cheating up!

QuickLookBusy · 28/11/2011 13:16

Social sevices? It's the circus you should be phoning.

Ihavewelliesbutitssunny · 28/11/2011 13:17

Were they wearing reflective jackets if not YANBU

Perhaps she couldn't find her crash helmet?

QuintessentialMercury · 28/11/2011 13:21

each to their own.

My mate picks his son (5 years old) up on his motorbike. The boy is perfectly perched on the bike, between his dad and the handlebars. He loves it.

There is no law saying children should not ride motorbikes, as I would imagine there are no laws forbidding mums to balance their children on their heads!

If you can carry a heavy water bottle on the head, why not a baby?

Honeydragon · 28/11/2011 13:22

When I was pg with ds Dm and dmil conspired and sold my unicycle and bought me a contraption with two wheels and brakes. I'd just about mastered corners too Sad

Proudnscary · 28/11/2011 13:23

OrmIrian - the unicycle was on top of a roller skate??!!! OK??????

Whatmeworry - no she had a six inch spike on her head not a cushion

Pagwatch - I am not, despite my name, scary, thank you. I am merely a stridently concerned parent who is frankly DISGUSTED and APPALLED by...by...
