Went ghetto at Disney. A naice middle class girl...

[PinotInAPinch]

like me. The shame. Spent just one (just one!) day at Disney on holidays in Florida recently - and still wasn't able to keep my "hold my earrings, kids" rage under wraps Last excitement of the day was a (actually v cool) live stunt show. Kids hyper, all excited, chatting to other kids around them on the bleachers we were sitting on. My DS (8) nattering to kid slightly in front of him, then v politely asked his mum if he'd swap with him (as in her son) as he couldn't really see the whole thing. She turned around, hmm'd haw'd, and v pointedly told him - without knowing my DH was listening - that yes, "I will move, but only because it's better for my son, and for you. Just so you know." And - and I swear I'm not usually this ragey but it's a long humid fucking day - and I did a full hand on hip, dramatic "UP KIDS, sit over here" glare, she gives me a "huh?!" (Imagine hand/hip firmness, perhaps a finger point yikes) "Well, it's MUCH better for them at this end isn't it?!! and we all KNOW you know all about that." DH thinks I was AIBU...

Oh Pinot, you make me larf!

I don't get it, I can't lie, I'm absolutely sure she deserved it though. Whatever it is.

Hope you had a nice holiday anyway, and I'll be sure to remember not to mess with you in the future girlfriend

[PinotInAPinch]

Totally growlithe and as I said it wasn't my finest hour. I know that, I surprised myself, actually. I had my gob smacked, and I normally suck it up. Guess the "happiest place on earth" bring out the worst in me?!

But the mother is presumably an adult and one prepared to fit in with seating wishes of a stranger even when settled and a show about to start.

So the girl has to be the DC that OP's DS was talking to, for there doesn't seem to be mention of another child, male or female.

As the DC seems to have been nice to DS, I really don't see what the problem with the girl is.

[Crumbledwalnuts]

ok now I'm confused. What girl?

[PinotInAPinch]

Randall, who knew? Not my DH that's for sure Anyway, upon mature reflection, I do not want to teach my DCs (for sure the arsey DD6yr) that is the way to go.

[sincitylover]

I get it! Original post was written in a humorous style (bit try too hard for my liking).

Many mc people I know look down on Disney and over intellectualise the Disney phenomenon rather than just accept it at face value (just as you would a pop song).

But then find themselves at Disney to please their kids but have to then excuse it away by saying they've gone all ghetto! OrJenny from the block!

I have learned that you can be a deep thinker whilst still embracing popular culture/tat and bling! No point coming over worthy about these things!

[Crumbledwalnuts]

my judgement is, she was rude, you shouldn't have exploded, we are all better people in hindsight

[PinotInAPinch]

No idea? Although you sound supportive meditrina so hop on board

[Crumbledwalnuts]

tbh i thought you meant going to disney was going ghetto, not that your public display of pique was going ghetto

but I don't think you should use ghetto like that, there's something wrong with it

[PinotInAPinch]

crumbled yes. I nearly over thank it there

[RandallPinkFloyd]

I'm loving that you're 'entitled'

I think you're fierce.

[Reality]

This isn't Pinot, by the way.


Just someone with a Pinot based name.

[NarkyNamechanger]

Why didn't you and your DS just swp seats?

[Hashtagwhatever]

Putting your hand on your hip and telling your own children to move is ghetto?

[PinotInAPinch]

Lol Randall If only I needed an a. lie detector or b. some sort of DNA...

[TheRealFellatio]

I know it's not my Pinot as the writing style and the personality coming through is totally different but I bet plenty of people are confused and thing this is the other Pinot.

Well actually I think they are confused by this thread for all sorts of reasons.

[TheRealFellatio]

think, not thing

[RandallPinkFloyd]

I did think it was other Pinot tbh but it makes no odds. You still sound fierce!

[PinotInAPinch]

Yes Reality' Amazingly there are others who like wine?!?

[Pigsmummy]

Nice

[bamboostalks]

But why didn't you swap with your ds so he was sitting behind her ds thereby avoiding all problems?

[TheCuntingPigeon]

Coo?

[curlew]

Frankly, you lost any credibility you might have had with "went ghetto". What a ghastly turn of phrase!

[Growlithe]

Fairly clear for all to see that you like the wine, OP

[RandallPinkFloyd]

Don't think anyone's doing that curlew, the whole thread is rambling nonsense so there really isn't a side to be on as far as I can see. I think it's funny, I like rambley threads that don't make sense.

(Loving the word 'ghastly' btw, makes you sound like someone from Malory Towers )
