AIBU to be livid

371 replies

Yummymummyyobe1 · 29/06/2012 22:02

Today I went to baby clinic to have DS1 weighed as usual and over heard a conversation between the HV's and the woman who lives next door but one. The woman from next door was complaining about the number of delivery people that had been to our house this week (toy deliveries) and how is unfair how some children have everything given to them on a plate blah blah blah blah. The HV was agreeing and mentioned she knew which family she was talking about before stopping dead in her tracks, when she saw me standing there.

I was livid as this seems so unprofessional to gossip about another family and their goings on (she has been to the house and passed comment on the toys etc our DS1 has) and also livid with the person next door but one for being a nosiy parker just because she doesn't have doesn't mean she has a right to bitch. AIBU to be livid and would you report this?

Can you seriously not see anything wrong with the amount of stuff you have bought?

Seems to me you are trying to overcompensate for something?

Charlotte1234 · 29/06/2012 22:26

What's the nappy thing? I'm intrigued!

Chunkamatic · 29/06/2012 22:26

I've just seen the thread with the list.

I'm too tired to wonder why you are doing this.

Bet the other neighbours on your cul de sac wouldn't gossip about you like that with the HV. Think I'd be livid too TBH.

Sparklingbrook · 29/06/2012 22:27

More like 'itchy beard/chinny reckon' 5.

Chunkamatic · 29/06/2012 22:27

Do you think the HV was talking about you as they are concerned for your mental well being, OP?

You must know that this behaviour is not normal...

How can you afford all this shit?

Sparklingbrook · 29/06/2012 22:28

Linky Chunkamatic, there's a list?

5inthebedPPA · 29/06/2012 22:28

All them toys for a 7 week old? Shock

They'll be a bugger to dust.....! Wink

WorraLiberty · 29/06/2012 22:30

Sparkling check squeaky's link

I really don't know what's up with this OP

Apparently she used to be a 'normal poster' once? Confused

LentillyFart · 29/06/2012 22:30

Exactly what coconutty said

Flisspaps · 29/06/2012 22:30

yummy you're not buying more stuff for DS?! Honestly, keep the boxes and send back the contents. That's what he'll want most - when he's big enough to play Grin

Chunkamatic · 29/06/2012 22:31

Oh no why am I getting drawn into this madness

I hope you are bracing yourself for the teenage years OP. Teenagers really don't like to miss out, Wink

LentillyFart · 29/06/2012 22:35

Bang on the money there!

Chunkamatic · 29/06/2012 22:35

Can anyone explain why somone would spend time making this stuff up? I don't believe the OP, but neither do I believe that people can be that bored!

BellaOfTheBalls · 29/06/2012 22:36

Is this the same neighbour that wanted milk & nappies for a baby that doesn't even live in the house or a different one? Grin

memory like an elephant

pictish · 29/06/2012 22:37

Yup just seem your list thread.
All I can think is 'why does a 7 week old need a rocking horse?' Confused

You are either
a) lying
b) have a terrible spending problem
c) mad

And now you claim you overheard the HV and your neighbour discussing these purchases?

I don't know what you're getting out of this tall tale. Confused

Yummymummyyobe1 · 29/06/2012 22:37

Chunkamatic nothing major really.

rainydaysarebad we do work hence why we buy things for DS1 perhaps a little too much.

5inthebedPPA said indicidual is the not so pleasant neighbour.

Sparklingbrook no little bits like rattles and playmats a stieff or two and a rocking horse.

pictish no there was def a mention she knew the person was.

Petsinmypudenda I'm not a troll just very angry,
.
takingiteasy I won't type a list as it isn't really necessary.

ThreadWatcher the toys live in the nursery and a box in the lounge. I shouldn't have to give my childs belonging away to please the neighbour.

DeckSwabber we love our DS1 to bits and just don't want him going without in life.

storminabuttercup I do hope not as the answer will be ........

ErikNorseman I'm not a wind up angry yes and windup no.

gordyslovesheep why would I laugh at her?

IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012 Thanks I didn't really consider how it would arrive.
