...to think that if we go to the beach as a family my wife should get off her bloody phone?

It is a warm evening here in the Middle East and being Winter the beach is now viable again. The kids and I were swimming around in cool water and from the shore there she was illuminated by Mumsnet.

We are eating and accompanying us there is the glow.

...

well I'm guessing she knows your feelings now :o

and how are you posting? Is there a psychic MN app now?

Ha ha ha.

But now you are eating and both MNing. No?

LTB!!!

You're on your phone too!

Hahaha why don't you send her a text?

Yes, a glow on your face as you Mumsnet as you eat.

will no-one think of the children...?

I was going to say YANBU, but then you said she was on MN. So, sorry, YABU, she isn't. I'm afraid when you take on a woman who Mumsnets you take on the whole package.

OI! MNHUBBIE AND MNWIFEY, GET OFF YOUR POXY PHONES AND ENJOY YOUR THE BEACH!!

Hey Mummy, hey daddy get off your phones and come and paddle with us!

is this a stealth boast?

....Waiting for MNWifey to post a reply...

Blimey, she's allowed MN in the Middle East?

MNDadda MNMumma

Pwaaaaay wiv us!

(It has to be fabulous)

Mumsnet has a glow?????

When did that happen? Should we be worried?

Love the Middle East. Well Jel........ you can do most things out there Buzz

That's good then you can have the kids all to yourself. They will love it and you will make great memories.

Ask the hotel to switch off the internet.

I hate the beach with an unadulterated passion. Maybe your wife does, too?

I was only teasing Mylovely I have family that live there ;)

Actually when we're on the beach hubby does the paddling, rockpools and sandcastles, I do the swimming and lifesaving but read the paper between times cos never anywhere fancy enough to have beach-internet.

That is surely your answer, find a great day out - in the sticks somewhere.

Perhaps she was supervising them when they were running in and out of the water, which if they are anything like mine they would be.

How do you know its mn? It could be her friend having a crisis. Or arranging a night out.

Oh, and watch out for jellyfish - one of my dc was stung recently in the sea there, and won't go in the sea again..
