Backstory here

why oh why am I setting myself up for another arsekicking?

Just got a text from cousin's mum (my aunt) as cousin does not have my number (intentionally actually) "Hi jst so u no my baby shower will be in June so dont make eny plans!" (forwarded message written by cousin)

WHAT??

So 1. You're doing a fucking save the date for an occasion designed for people to lavish gifts upon you? Hmmmm kay.... and 2. No-one can make any plans for the entire month of June, lest they miss the chance to come and shower you with gifts?

Would I BU to text back "Just fuck off"?

Instead of bitching you could offer to help her.....just a thought.

Oooh I love it when people blithely drop in "You could help her"

Why would I want to do that? She boils my piss.

Which is such a shame as I am sure she thinks the world of you. Probably only invited you because she thinks you would be good for a gift, its the only reason I would invite you.

Oh Bup, I haven't had a chance to read the back story but I had to post and defend your right to be angry with fuckwits and numpties.Grin I frequently, particularly when driving and trying not to swear, tell my DD that whatever she does, she mustn't grow up to be a numpty.

Fuck knows what I'm going to tell her when she's old enough to ask me what a numpty is...

Anyway, be angry. Tell your cousin you'll be there and judge or tell her you won't and the reasons why, but whatever you do, be angry; it's being angry about stuff that gets stuff done! So there.

Hmmm, have we locked horns before Bogey?

Only I just clicked on your profile and I'm certain I've had reason to wrinkle my nose at your face before now...

Slightly reminiscent of the multiple reality hates her SIL threads, though she used to dress it up as concern.

I prefer your approach, bupcakes, more refreshingly honest.

Will still be hiding any future threads on this though!

I thank you for your gracious understanding. Mine is at this very minute sharing her news with someone from outer Mongolia who missed her last five hundred posts on the subject. ::stabby::

I was reading the original thread at the time but not up to the ?our Fact" bit, which made me arf out loud and all the way over to the kettle, and while the kettle was boiling!

Genuinely.

I need to get out more, I know this.

Bupcakes, I have read your posts before (am a lurker, don't post often) and noted how unpleasant you sound. However, to insult another poster's personal appearance is low even for you - you really are utterly poisonous.

Are you jealous of your cousin's pregnancy? I think you might be. I also think if you were a remotely pleasant person you would be offering to help her for her baby's sake, rather than coming on here and bitching about her to strangers. If you had any sort of a life or real friendships you'd be able to sound off to them - the fact you are such a prolific poster and appear to practically live on here (every time I've logged on in the past 3 years) says a great deal about your real life relationships. You sound truly horrible.

PS Bogey, I think it is a lovely photo.

Got to thank you for this thread, it has reminded me not to be all judgey pants at my fairly chavvy friends who post about their angelcakes lil bubz, but are probably actually very good loving mothers.

Because by comparison, your cousin sounds absolutely fucking horrific Grin and I could have it so much worse!!

Yes I am jealous and have no friends. You've really touched a nerve there. I am devastated, naturally.

"Being a snob = having standards.

Thank god there are people on here who realise this! I was starting to think everyone on here was perfect and had to give themselves a lashing if they ever had a bad thought.

Grin I love your cousin, she provides such good copy.

I was invited to a baby shower and got out of it by genuinely completely forgetting to go. Blush I felt really bad, the mother-to-be is a lovely girl who used to be ds's nanny and while I object to baby showers on principle, she's so nice I wouldn't have dreamed of saying so. AND she was having twins and they are quite skint so you know, I was quite happy to buy them a few things. Only I forgot.

Difference is, my friend may do loads of things that I wouldn't, and say things I wouldn't, and refrain from doing things I would or saying things I would, but she's genuinely lovely and has been very kind to ds. Sounds as if your cousin does not fit into the same category...

I agree, Edam.

Compare it with one of my other cousins... he lost his job when his girlfriend was ready to give birth pretty much, then the poor sods lost their rented house. They didn't ask for a thing and I met his girlfriend in a charity shop buying baby clothes :( I asked her what I could buy for junior and she said "honestly don't think you have to but just a couple of bibs would be more than enough!" Made me sob all the way back up the street. The rest of the cousins paid in together and got them a large amount of vouchers fir Mithercare and Boots. And none of us minded because they didn't ask for it or feel entitled to it. it made us want to help out.
