to tell my mum to stop emailing me this shit

[CatchTheFox]

my mum keeps emailing me generic, nauseating and frankly depressing snippets of BS she finds on Facebook. I am not on Facebook, partly to avoid this kind of nonsense. Today she sent me this:

?There comes a point in life when fun no longer means clubbing, drinking or being out till 2am, or thinking about yourself! Fun means Disney movies, family dinners, bedtime stories, long cuddles, a messy house, sleeping by 10pm and hearing little voices say ?I love you.? Becoming a parent doesn?t change you, it makes you realize that the little people that YOU created deserve the very best of your time ♥ Repost if you get it. I hope I see this on the wall of every Mom & Dad I know?

She prefaced this by saying 'saw this and thought of you'. What she should have thought was 'this is exactly the kind of thing that catchthefox would fucking hate, i'd better not send it her in case she drinks all the trifle sherry and smashes a window'

i have told her before that these things get right up my cuff. she's known me for 38 years FFS. i am desperate to tell her to stop but i have a history of being a knobhead so AIBU?

Crazycanuck I am chuckling so much about your friends mum

I second pretending that you're trying to avoid viruses so can she please stop sending them to you? I said this to a friend and she stopped. I can't stand them.

But who are these people who DO like them?

Are they otherwise sane human beings?
Do they hold down jobs?
Are they allowed scissors?

I know meddie, she's a bit like a real life Dementor

Just delete before reading and block her. Problem solved

thanks all, it's warmed my christmas cockles to hear that i am not alone in my torment. I will wait until i see her next and tell her to give it a rest. again

Ah, that one turned up on my Facebook feed earlier - I read it whilst enjoying a glass of white in the pub. Mawkish balls. Yanbu.

I agree with you. I marked my DH's cousin's emails as junk for sending exactly this sort of shite but she lives in Spain so not such a problem. Just tell her not to copy and paste or forward any emails at all to you. Say it's a struggle to keep on top of important emails without your inbox getting clogged up with unnecessary stuff.

I have just snorted out my wine at you drinking the trifle sherry...!
