AIBU to be livid

[Yummymummyyobe1]

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?

Exact same thing happened to me.

My neighbour and HV were gossiping about me and how I seem to just throw money away.

I reckon they are jealous because I can afford to get 1000 toys delivered for DD, along with 4 bouncy castles, 7 wendy houses and a jumbo jet

Jealousy is a terrible thing don't you think?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If you had the faintest fucking idea about anything OP you'd know it's STEIFF not 'stieff'

Stop it now. You are looking increasingly unhinged.

Was it the neighbours to the right?

Only one jet? Your children will be bullied and called poor at school

thankfodforcaffeine you neglected to buy her a goat. Shame on you. I'm calling social services.

Gosh this reminds me of a poster on another forum a few years back.

She'd start these kind of threads all the time to provoke all sorts of reactions. Even if someone started a thread asking "What's everyone having for dinner?"...her replies would always be smoked salmon/fillet steak and all sorts of expensive things for her, her DH and her kids.

Anyway, She put her email address on the forum for some reason and someone googled it and found a Gumtree ad her DH had placed that basically said he was out of work (he was supposed to be a millionaire) and was looking for work as a cleaner/chauffeur/butler.

Part of it said "Will clean shoes and only speak when spoken to"

Then some rotten bastard Google earthed their house (was supposed to be a lavish mansion) only to discover it was actually a 3 bed council flat in a shitty tower block that was earmarked to be torn down.

I tell you what... fair play to the op for managing to do individual replys to so many posters so quickly....

but OP...

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

he is two months old, he really will not know, or give a toss ....

(and I agree with Jonas anyway!)

I am so sorry people find things so hard to believe but I just want DS1 to have things to play with when he is older. flipp I can't do it send them back as they are lovely. I do love to shop pictish and DS1 is a good reason to send. The rocking horse is for when he is older it is beautiful. xx

worra - - I've known a few of those too!

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

Many people work and aren't as anal about buying so much stuff.

And there is a fine line between going without and buying your child a few toys, one which you've stepped over by a mile.

Seriously, you sound unhinged, speak to your GP.

worra

I LOVE HP - I watched Deathly Hallows part 2 last night.

My favourite quote in reply to yours is Prof McGonagall "I've always wanted to say that"

I love this OP , she makes me laugh

Are the pesky blighters still running over your front garden?

Lentilly I think you might remember her if I could just think of the name...a South African woman. Weird as fuck and her 12yr old got nicked for shop lifting in Tescos!

People usually buy these rot of things when their hold reaches the appropriate age, not all in one go.

My 5mo old's favourite toy is a wooden spoon. Just saying...

Faintly blurred memories worra - damned if I can remember the name though.........

Thankgodforcaffeine don't give me ideas for another toy. LOL

LentillyFart anybody can make a typo.

WorraLiberty I can assure you this is our life and a very real life.

squeakytoy thanks I do try to respond quickly but finding it hard to keep up. Surely DS1 will startto notice if he doesn't have something in the future and also when he looks back on his early years.

In my day I had was a stick I had to whittle into a spoon myself

A goat! Thanks bella, major oversight on my part. I bet my neighbour will gossip even more when the delivery van from Goats R Us turns up.

pets me and DH talked about this and we did decide on only one jet as we do believe children need to know not everything in life will be handed to them on a plate.

I hope that the toys aren't arriving in a delivery van

Hahahahahahahaha @ "when he looks back on his early years"

Now we know for sure you're talking out of your arse! If you dispute that then go find me a single person who remembers being 7 weeks old and I'll apologise.

there is only one thing worse than being talked about, that is not being talked about....

Where you poor as a child op? Did you not get mr Frosty for Christmas one year, is that the problem?
