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?

SchrodingersMew I wouldn't have anything against these neighbours if they weren't so rude.

WhosPickleisThatOnion I know but I thought a little variety would be good.

Maybe you should have a chat to someone in rl op, these threads are getting a little bit odd?

just seen the list. ive posted my opinion that the op is at best an attention seeking loon
soz.
lol

This thread reminds me of a Bucks Fizz song ....

I dont suppose it was you op that was on one of those horders have a big clearout programmes she liked to shop and i believe was expecting a baby also. Either way you seem to have an issue with collecting stuff and risk one day being that crazy neighbour who gets squished by boxes whilst trying to find the kitchen

The Land of Make Believe should have entered the Eurovision contest.

I didn't like Making your mind up. The ripping of skirts was deeply misogynistic, in fact I will start a thread about it in RadFem.

The clashing of primary colours was too much for my eyesight

OP I'm sorry but I really really feel you need some help, not only with shopping addiction but with this desperate attention seeking by any means necessary.

I'm going to bed & filing this one under "there's nowt so queer as folk". Never a truer word spoken.

Loving this thread.

I just want to get on with our life without being gossiped about by people in RL.

Because the way not to get gossiped about is to post on a publically searchable forum with lots of identifiable details.

Srsly, get help or GTFO.

Why would you start two boasting threads on the same day? You seem to enjoy looking down your nose at your poor neighbour yet you enjoy this kind of vulgarity.
How about spending time with your child instead of throwing money at him and boasting about it all over the place?
Get a life.

I'm astounded at how he's apparently showing interest in some of this stuff already - my DS is 10 weeks and has only today started showing interest in a rattle my mum bought him.

Until now he has mainly enjoyed looking at our faces, as well as the patterns on his nursery curtains and the light switch on the wall in our bedroom.

And its curious how your DS is showing an interest in the "chores" as you say - have you bought him a toy hoover to use or something? Is any of this real?

If I have my DS in a sling whilst doing housework his main interest is not in what I'm doing but instead he is licking the label on the sling, but he is hardly neglected by the fact that I haven't bought him a single toy (other than a trike for when he is 3, because it was going cheap on ebay).

Honestly, you sound bonkers. Stop buying plastic tat. Buy wooden toys instead dahling!

So you were the one that refused to help your neighbour with a few nappies and some formula, and are now boasting about how much you spend on your child?
Nah, don't believe it.
There's no one in my world that is that mean spirited.
I shall go to bed soon, happy in the fact that you are a troll making things up because you know what reaction you'd get.
Good Night OP, sweet dreams.

Praise Be.

You've stopped with the numpty kisses.

You should use those toys to build a wall around your DS, don't want him catching poor.

You refused to help a neighbour with nappies and formula, WTAF?

Seriously OP, you sound unwell but that's no excuse to not help out a neighbour in need. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Just buy whatever you want it's upto you if you can afford too. I agree hv should nt be discussing you etc. it is wrong.

LOL. Is this the same not real vulgar neighbour?

I feel sorry for you OP. Either you've gained a reputation for being a nasty snob, or more likely you're nowhere near as wealthy as you make out and post this stuff to make yourself feel better/superior.

I suggest you get help. :(

op, cultivate this mindset - "frankly, my dear, i don't give a damn'.

you are absolutely right not to give things away to anyone who knocks on - i was totally with you about the nappies etc.

you are absolutely right that the hv should not talk about you - but part of her role is to 'nod and say yes' to anyone, she has to be supportive - and i'd imagine that rough woman needs a lot of support so they hv will be trying to keep her onside - and she might not be expressing her true opinion at all.

you are absolutely right that it's no-one's business but yours if you have twenty deliveries a day, never mind a few in a week, and that what you buy is up to you - i'd invest in home security though as your neighbour is obviously envious and a low sort, so you might be at risk of burglary.

but if you post here, you're asking for trouble!

'frankly my dear i don't give a damn' is a very useful thought...

To be fair to the op I've had loads of deliveries when DS was little, if you order from amazon and tick supersaver delivery they often deliver nappies, wipes and other bits separately so you have eight deliveries in three days.

I'd always give someone a couple of nappies though (have not read previous nappy thread) so long as it wasn't an all the time thing.

OP, how old are you?

She is 31.

OP, it does sound like you might be making yourself look a bit rediculous, in which case people will comment, it's human nature to take note of anomolies.

TBH having loads of toys out is not optimal for a child's development. Just a few, mostly natural things is the way forward. Read up on heuristic play.

My advice would be to read some good books on cognitive development, give put away all the tat you have bought and start again.

Lying out on a rug under a tree and watching the light pattern through the leaves would be better for your DS that lying under the latest, top of the range baby gym.

On the other hand, in the dead of winter, if you spent your money on booking out a great sensory room for an hour, I could understand that.

Do your homework and spend your money wisely.

I'm not even going to bother to read 8 pages of this thread. It just screams WEIRD to me.
