In shock, just come home from a soft play place, went with some other mums that I have just started getting to know. DD (4 years old) being unruly - we are going through a phase at the moment, one of the other mums just picked her up and smacked her on her bottom. I was completely stunned - I would never hit a child my own or someone elses... DD in tears i just gathered up DS's stuff took DD and left.

I want to pick her up on it, or call the police or something..... sorry dont have anyone in RL i cant speak to right now so sorry for ranty message im just still stunned!

WWYD?????

No OP of the party was Clumsy I haven't searched but my memory is good. I had a 8 weeks break and came back to coffee pot/dog party threads.

Although I don't remember coffeeanyone coming back, just the party......I may have lost interest

I dont think she was the OP of the other thread, she was the one who came on claiming the thread was about her after a tip-off from some friends

Marple, not Marble

Oh me neither

It's Miss MarPle not Miss Marble.... Grin

LovePickles · 09/04/2013 11:38

I'm glad they approached the Soft Play venue.

Police officers and PSCO's do sometimes talk in a way you wouldn't think they would, giving their own opinions on matters (in my personal experience) I remember being slightly shocked by it because I thought they had to be very careful. I think are just being reassuring.

TooYappy · 09/04/2013 11:38

Oh I need to lie down.

Hope it all works out well OP

What happened with the party in the end, was there a cake fight?

LovePickles · 09/04/2013 11:39

What Kurri said.

MammaTJ · 09/04/2013 11:40

The OP of the first party thread was Coffee, then Clumsy joined in and said she was the other mother, then she started her own thread about it, which must be what you remember with your very good memory TooYappy

Alzheimers hasn't quite set in here yet either.

BabylonReturns · 09/04/2013 11:40

It's PCSO, not PCOS or PSCO

And yes, pot, kettle, black after my miss marble error Grin

LovePickles · 09/04/2013 11:41

Babylon, I corrected myself earlier and made the mistake again! Ugh, I blame the tonsillitus!

BabylonReturns · 09/04/2013 11:43

Ooh pickles tonsillitis is bloody horrible, you have my every sympathy, hope you feel better soon :)

coffeeinbed · 09/04/2013 11:43

I did wonder what PCOS had to do with all this.
Threads in health tend to be more sedate.

LovePickles · 09/04/2013 11:45

Thanks Babylon! It's pure hell!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 09/04/2013 11:47

Wow this thread sure has moved on since I last looked at it.

Not enjoying the troll hunting though.

landofsoapandglory · 09/04/2013 11:51

Going totally off topic a minute, LtEve do you mind if I PM you about something Forces related? I am popping out in a minute, so might not see your reply for an hour or two.

SauvignonBlanche · 09/04/2013 12:02

Hope your DD is ok today?

lljkk · 09/04/2013 12:02

I can just see the headline in Daily Mail: "Mum gets criminal record after one smack on brat's bottom!"

FairyJen · 09/04/2013 12:05

I'll be hOnest in just marki my place. Totally confused by all this although do have fond memories of the joint party thread...

NandH · 09/04/2013 12:15

lljkk ...don't think it's particularly fair to call a child you do not know a "brat" .... are you one of these anti mumsnetters or a journalist for dm, I'd assume so with your loose assumptions!

lljkk · 09/04/2013 12:28

Ah, thread has reached that height of paranoia stage. Apologies for my lack of finely tuned radar.

I must search for the joint party thread.

Brat is what the journos will call her, or do you think the Tabloids would show unusual restraint?

I wouldn't give another person a criminal record over this. I would laugh about it in years to come. That's my answer to WWYD.

MidniteScribbler · 09/04/2013 12:30

Where do I find this infamous bouncy castle thread?

stressyBessy22 · 09/04/2013 12:44

what about the wettkng herse.f? You say sne was wearing just a litt.e denim skirt and socks. There must have been qukte a puddle left on the floor? Did you not mention this to the staff

stressyBessy22 · 09/04/2013 12:45

NandH by the ops own admission her dd was behaving very badly

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/04/2013 13:03

That doesn't excuse the other woman hitting the child.
