I also say it sometimes and will Blush with you! have said it to DH and he tells me I spend too much time on here:0

However, have also told the DC that "this isn't working for me". And have advised a friend that " no is a complete sentence!" Shock

Help me now! Think I may need an enforced holiday...

Don't worry, just this evening I told DH he had been unreasonable. I lost my appetite as he told me proudly of the phone call he'd had re a motoring claim he made that's still not settled. Unfortunately he had made a prat of himself and I am mortified. Sad

DS3 told me I wasn't being unreasonable the other day :o

Dee03 · 14/03/2012 22:19

I now use 'no is a complete sentence'
Also have a friend going through a tough time with older dc treating her like a doormat and I found myself saying that she's enabling them to treat her that way....I've never used the word 'enable' before Smile

I have said 'biscuit ' to DH before

He was Hmm

I think I have so far kept it in my head so far, thinking to myself 'AIBU to be pissed off about this? No. No. No. I am not.' I just know that my day of reckoning will come and I will say to another parent in the playground 'Ayeboo to really hate that?'

My DP has been known to actually say YABU to me when Im being particularly irrational. Actually says 'yaaahboo' and everything. Its enought of a laught to get me out of my funk Grin

Whatmeworry · 15/03/2012 00:29

YABU sucks :o

TroublesomeEx · 15/03/2012 09:15

I have used "no is a complete sentence" and I have also started to use "you are being unreasonable" and "am I being unreasonable?" more than before...

It's a bit like when you play too much Tetris and the world morphs into a huge game of Tetris...

fussbucket · 15/03/2012 09:22

I've been using DD, IYSWIM and YANBU by accident in real life conversations, keep getting the Confused face from friends and family. Definitely spending far too much time here!

Mrsjay · 15/03/2012 09:38

My daughters say LOL out loud that is so annoying !
