to think this was a bit mean

xmas eve my DNiece (5yo) spent all day practicing her charades for the family coming over that night she had the little mermaid, sleeping beauty and tangled all ready, so we start playing she's to shy to do hers but once she got into it she got up to do hers and DP guessed every bloody one without giving her a chance as in i'd told him what i taught her so he shouted it out as soon as she started her first word.

AIBU to think he should have let her finish before he guessed or at least get properly started since she practiced all day and was nervous and he was just being mean? He says he was playing by the rules (which he wasn't because he already knew) i say she's only little and he should let her have her turn then guess. He does thinks like this to his little brother (12yo) all the time i dread to think what he'll be like when DS is bigger!

I know it sounds daft but it's niggling me he found it so funny to ruin a little girls fun

He was definitely just being mean. Big meanie Angry

He sounds like a real charmer, what satisfaction is there in beating a 5 year old by cheating?

Convert · 29/12/2012 20:20

That's not nice! I'd be really pissed off with him TBH

Clarabell78 · 29/12/2012 20:21

What a knob!

Clarabell78 · 29/12/2012 20:21

What a knob!

Ask him if winning a game over a shy and nervous 4 year old made him feel like the big man?

Tell him from me that I think he is pathetic.

DorsetKnobwithJingleBellsOn · 29/12/2012 20:23

More than a bit mean.

travellingwilbury · 29/12/2012 20:24

Mean and a cheat .

He is rubbish at playing by the rules .

JustFabulous · 29/12/2012 20:25

He is a knob but why did you tell him all of the answers?

Nittynana · 29/12/2012 20:25

Kind of indicates that this man has a few problems actually

pictish · 29/12/2012 20:26

Total knobber.
Is he generally a dick then?

Is him?

queenofthepirates · 29/12/2012 20:27

Hoiking up my judgy pants, I think he should be setting a better example by not flipping cheating. A letter of apology in amongst his thank you letters I think.

truandrakni · 29/12/2012 20:27

Tragic yanbu

Nanny0gg · 29/12/2012 20:28

It's not daft. It says a lot about his (lack of) character.

I'd have said something when he did it the first time.

YesIamYourSisterInLaw · 29/12/2012 20:28

Very mean, does he older siblings that did the same to him?

HumphreyCobbler · 29/12/2012 20:28

how mean of him

what kind of person gets satisfaction from spoiling the fun of a five year old?

wineandroses · 29/12/2012 20:29

Spiteful bastard. What sort of twat does that to a 5 year old? And he does that sort of thing to his 12 year old brother? I'd be pretty worried about having married such a mean spirited person if I were you.

itsnowallover · 29/12/2012 20:29

he was being really mean.

Was he so worried he would loose?

Pathetic!

Moominsarescary · 29/12/2012 20:30

Knob that would really piss me off

DontmindifIdo · 29/12/2012 20:31

How long have you been together? Do you have DCs together? this isn't a kind man. To deliberately upset a very young and shy child is the actions of a complete cunt. He found it funny to upset a little girl. Pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the size of his heart.

He ain't a keeper.

MammaTJ · 29/12/2012 20:31

He might have been trying to be encouraging and let her know how clever she was in acting it out! Or maybe just a knob!
