to think that DM shouldn't prioritise her clubs over me?

Don't get me wrong - I luff my mum and we'd do anything for each other.

I'm just really fuming that she wouldn't nip round to mine to rescue the washing off the line today. The rain was about to lashy down and I didn't really want to intterupt what I was doing. But she said she wouldn't as she'd be late for KnitAndKnatter, well she calls it StichAndBitch, but that's a hole other thread lol.

Now I have to do the complete wash again - its really unenvironmentalky friendly to have to rewash stuff that stinks.

Sigh.

AIBU to think she should revisit her priorities I don't ask for much really?

I thought only children were commonly known as an "onlie" sorry if I got that wrong.

I am pondering whether this is Type A (jovial jesting jolly in-joke poss. in relation to another thread) or Type B (malice aforethought).

I call Type A.

Salmotrutta · 01/06/2012 18:59

jee - how selfish of your mum.

ribbonsandrainboughs · 01/06/2012 19:00

I agree jeee. She sounds right mean.

more closer

Wind up.

lovesthesun · 01/06/2012 19:01

I'm tempted to call my mum back from holiday just so she can get my washing. I'm far too busy on mn to do it myself :)

DogEared · 01/06/2012 19:02

Your mother is being unreasonable for treating you like a child.

Hopandaskip · 01/06/2012 19:02

If she is happy to help out then fine, she wants to help. This isn't her wanting to help, it is you expecting it. Whole 'nother ball of wax.

Salmotrutta · 01/06/2012 19:02

Ok - that seals it. Wind up.

Helenh90 · 01/06/2012 19:03

Well I thought u were supposed to b independent when u grew up...my bad Wink so I take it, if u have kids that is, that you'll do the same for them when they're older? Grin

PennieDreadful · 01/06/2012 19:04

Yeah, you're chatting shit, man.

Dprince · 01/06/2012 19:06

Clearly she does mind. Of course she is not real, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

COCKadoodledooo · 01/06/2012 19:06

WTAF do you have in your rainwater around there that means it needs washing again? Confused

I know IWBU to ask my mum to do the same, mainly because she lives 200 miles away..

Dawndonna · 01/06/2012 19:08

Would have. Would have. Would have.

Noqontrol · 01/06/2012 19:15

I expect your mum went and stitched while bitching about your washing Smile

ribbonsandrainboughs · 01/06/2012 19:32

Now now children. She Knatters not bitches.

Erm ok? Hmm

rhondajean · 01/06/2012 19:54

I really hope you are a windup but as I sadly do know grown women who live like this I am going to wake the chance to vent..
Are you not ashamed of yourself. How on earth can you justify having someone else run after you? You are a full grown adult, doing the dishes and making the beds indeed!

I would be utterly ashamed. What a disgrace.

Jinsei · 01/06/2012 19:57

Definitely a wind-up. Nobody could be that self-centred and selfish.

Nice try, OP, you'll have to try harder next time.

joanofarchitrave · 01/06/2012 19:58

bwahahahaha

simperingsally · 01/06/2012 20:52

Given your twee puntastic name and spelling mistakes, you're either Cod or Chaos.

It's 9pm on a Friday night - FFS do something a bit racier
