Its unreasonably unfair

That the things that happen to people on AIBU never happen to me. I rarely need to check my reasonability status,and if I do,its something minor.

No breastfeeding critiques, no tween boys in ladies toilets/changing rooms, no old biddies demanding seats from my children. Nothing. Not even a sniffy shop assistant.

I feel the need to rage and stamp about something today Angry Wink .

yanbu.. I have never had a wedding dilemma either..

Nobody has ever complained about one of my childrens' parties. Nor have I felt my children weren't included at anyone else's parties.

Other parents and I seem to be remarkably calm about our children's behaviour and/or telling each other's children off if we spot something that needs raising. None of us hit our own or each other's children.

I have no disputes with my neighbours on either side, and the parking at home/work is all perfectly adequate.

In AIBU terms, my life is remarkably dull.

Ah, it is no doubt because you are the entitled and oblivious types the rest of us are moaning about. Wink

Oh would this count as a first world problem? Is that unreasonable??

I need the void left in my life by never witnessing or being a victim of loud parenting filled asap or else i shall have to become a loud parenter and piss everyone off in ear shot. Now, whats it to be?

TheVermiciousKnid · 03/06/2013 13:52

I think this thread is very unreasonable. Hmm

I also have the rage. I get on well with my mil. And if someone tells me I'm doing something wrong like waiting til 6 months to wean dd all I have to say is 'the guidelines have changed an this is what we're now told to do' and that's the argument settled. We get on well with our neighbours and I can park in p&c spaces when I go to our licK sainsbo's. Grrrr.

I very nearly had an unreasonable today! A friend posted a 'funny' mentally ill joke on facebook which offended me.

But then I ruined it by discussing it with him, and he ruined it too by agreeing he was wrong, and apologising.

I feel I've missed this year's chance.

LookingThroughTheFog · 03/06/2013 14:02

Can I also just say, I don't intended to poke fun at people who genuinely do have dilemmas or need advice. I just think my life is excessively dull and level.

I was all geared up for trying to defend MY unreasonableness earlier (taking disposable camera for developing; DD had ripped off the paper outer thus voiding the prepaid development). I took the camera in with my various arguments, rebuttals and pleas prepared and the assistant said
"No problem"
and took it in for developing.

I think there is a parallel life out there that is 'Mumsnet world' - I have never had difficulty making friends, nor met any horrid PTA 'cliques' - although as a mumsnetter cattily pointed out to me, it was probably because I was one of the 'cliques' myself Grin. I also like my neighbours, my DS is happily 'average' at school and my DH is perfectly reasonable (90% of the time). Smile

I went to the pool last week and every family changing room was being used by an elderly person with no children. As DD writhed on the floor screaming (waiting is not her strong suit) what kept me sane was writing an imaginary AIBU and thinking of the vitriolic abuse I would receive for 'hating' older people. Made me smile through my frustration.
