To be annoyed at this mum??????

On Sunday me and DS went to Sunday school, as it was snowing we decided it would be fun to play in the snow, so we decided to take the DC to the park next to the church and make Adam and Eve snowmen/women, on the way to the park one of the other children threw a snowball and although it wasn't a really hard snowball, it hit my son in the eye (which was inflamed and sore due to possible allergy) and went down his coat. I turned to the boy that threw the snowball and said "that wasn't very nice", that is all I said to him and knelt down to sort my son out.

The other mum comes out and we talk about going to the park, about a minute after she comes out her DS starts crying very loudly from behind some gravestones and when asked why he is crying he said "fullyimmersed told me off" and carries on wailing, the mum said to me "why did you tell him off" in quite a confronting way, so I told her what I had said and what he had done, she told her DC that I was sorry and that it was ok etc.. I feel quite annoyed, this woman used to be quite a good friend of mine and is my sons Godmother, she didn't care what he had done and didn't make him apologise (I would have if it was my DS throwing the snowballs)

Have been sitting on this since Sunday so I just wanted to vent on here.

It may seem harsh Hilly but them dogs chase sledges and shit where fledging activities occur. I am in a harsh mood. I will take no truck.

Pagwaatch · 09/02/2012 10:56

Star jumps and press ups and fucking lunges stranded. The people in the park behind my house occasionally think I am calling for help.
Sometimes I am.

Not waving but drowning.

ExitPursuedByaBear · 09/02/2012 10:59

In a sea of dog shit.

Pagwaatch · 09/02/2012 10:59

I would like some spangly leg warmers. I could do the whole Jane Fonda thing but with more shit.

Ooh PenisDog once ate a tin of quality street and did sparkly shits. I could fashion something from those. But I would have to feed him the rest of the quality street and wait. Plus we only have the coconut ones left, but blue is a good colour.

ExitPursuedByaBear · 09/02/2012 11:02

Another family who don't like the coconut sweets.

Hullygully · 09/02/2012 11:06

I like the coconut ones, better than the liquorice ingots

A colleague of mine at work told us about the time his dog ate his kids' glow-in-the-dark PlayDoh. He said it made the poop-scooping easy - wait for night-time, then go round the garden looking for the glowing piles of poo Grin

Pagwaatch · 09/02/2012 11:12

That is a good idea Pol. And my dogs eat anything.

An Adam snowman would, rather worryingly, explain why dd asked for two pieces of coal, a carrot and a sweet potato

Bless. I hope you pointed out it was 2 sweet potatoes....

I'm still around, but came to the conclusion (judging by your opinions) I was over-reacting because of our history.. and I've been busy this morning so not been on

What the details of what happened to my son at her house?

OP posts:
ExitPursuedByaBear · 09/02/2012 11:50

And about the Adam and Eve snowpeople. Pleeease.

scuzy · 09/02/2012 11:51

nasal drip is more pleasant that this drip feeding!!

wonders how you do an adam and eve snowman with children without using a carrot thats not for the nose. what does eve get?

Hullygully · 09/02/2012 11:52

Fully - only if you want to. Please don't feel you have to say anything you don't want to.

scuzy · 09/02/2012 11:55

hully apparently she has on a previous thread but no one is arsed to read it. its obvious we were going to ask what happened after the drip feed.

FullyImmersed · 09/02/2012 11:56

Well Adam was about 8ft tall and Eve was only 7ft tall.. and had an ample bosom.. Wink

I didn't intend to drip feed, if I had ignored the question I would have been scrutinised for that too.. It was only when it was pointed out that I realised that my issue wasn't just because of the snowball.. and that's what AIBU is for isn't it? Letting you know whether you are BU or not? :)

Hully, I have mentioned it on a previous thread but haven't gone into detail.

I don't really want to go into it because it's absolutely shocking, something that I'm hoping won't effect him too badly when he is older, and that I don't want being on the internet. Especially because I sometimes post about recognisable things and I don't want anyone knowing about it.

OP, you were being unreasonable due to other issues with this woman etc. Snowballs are made to be thrown!

W0rmy · 09/02/2012 12:16

Fully, did she ever accept that her son hurt yours (previously) or has she denied it or made excuses for him?

It's clear that the way she reacted to the past incident and now this encounter is not what you would expected of her. It's dissappointing, but sometimes people turn out to be not what you thought, unfortunately you chose her as a Godparent before you realised this but there's not much you can do about that.

Best to just steer clear of her and not put yourself in any situations where you would have to deal with her or her child.

Wormy, she has only ever pandered to him and made excuses for him, she never tells him off and even after having to get SS involved I see her still enabling him to act in a similar fashion, I'm trying to say it how I see it whilst staying vague as to what happened. After the incident I tried to talk to her about the incident and she just told me that she just wanted to forget about it, which I did too, but felt like again, she should have at least apologised on her DS's behalf, especially considering how serious it all was.

I stopped going to church for months to avoid her, but don't want to but pushed out of my church as I want to go, but I have been considering moving so my DS doesn't end up going to school with her DS when he starts going.
