To think this is rather petty.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

I took my D.D and nephew out the other day and we had a game of crazy golf. My nephew is 21 months old. Anyway we were behind this family. Now keep in mind my D.N is 21 months old a baby doesn't know any different or about patience ect which no-one would expect him to.
Anyway to get straight to the point D.N hit the golf ball and this grown man turned around and went (to a baby keep in mind). It's my turn first. I looked at him like he had 10 heads and said. "He's a baby". He just gave me a look and carried on playing.

Wow it's Wednesday already
Op
YOU WERE IN THE WRONG

Hamptoncourt; thank you for providing me with material which almost definitely caused me to wet myself!

Maybe my thread should have been titled Am I being unreasonable to think I'm not being unreasonable.

The answer is still going to be yes.

No, a better title for your thread would be : I am unreasonable.

Never mind, it is never too late to realise the error of your ways and why looking after children so they don't disrupt other people's pleasure is usually a more constructive approach.

Yes still yes

Maybe you should have acknowledged that you were being unreasonable in thinking the man was petty.

And maybe you'll apologise next time the children you are in charge of disturb other people and do your best to make sure they don't disturb other people.

There's hoping.

I think we should petition Mumsnet to create a new board called "I am not being unreasonable and if the entire universe says I am, then it still just means that everybody else is wrong and I am right". We would have to abbreviate it to IANBUAITEUSIATISJMTEEIWAIAR which is a bit of a mouthful. However, the deluded OP of this thread could happily live in her own sweetly irrational world there and not worry about the entire sane population of the world disagreeing with her.

What are you all waiting for?. Me to bow down and crawl up people's arses. If you are then you will all be in for a long wait because, it's not going to happen

More to the point, what did you want to happen? I mean, really?

Not really. There are some people you just have to realise are never going to appreciate social courtesy or become decent role models to children who depend on them.

The question here is - then why did you ask the question?

I second fish's (fishs'/fish'??? Damn apostrophes!) Motion

Somehow I think we all suspected this anyway.

I am waiting for the result of the Scottish referendum.

BackforGood perhaps she really is so lacking in adult awareness that she thought most people would agree with her.

LineRunner you're a bit early are you not? It's not til tomorrow :p unless ofc you meant that you weren't expecting them to be announced tonight or anything

I love this topic

LineRunner might be expecting this thread to run that long

OP - in answer to your most recent question - most grownup people, when they post something on AIBU and get an overwhelming response of "Yes, YABU", will post something like "oh. I hadn't realised. Thank you". The thread then dies out.

This thread is lasting much longer than usual because people are getting a ghoulish amusement from your lack of self-awareness in continuing to assert that you are correct in the face of overwhelming disagreement from everyone else.

The answer to your original opening post has resoundingly been Yes, YABU from pretty much everyone. If you didn't want to hear the answer you should not have asked the question.

Yes, I think we will all meet again tomorrow night.

And that is what I am waiting for.

OP gets told 1000 times she's wrong. Decides she doesn't agree with the 1000 other people anyway and she's right. Nothing can change her mind. So why bother posting OP if you're going to insist that you are in the right NO MATTER WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS?

Sometimes I wonder if these kind of people are only belligerent on the internet, or in real life too. I never get the pleasure of seeing them in flesh, but mumsnet is positively teeming with them!

AIBU at its absolute best.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree, wont we. I wouldn't mind betting that many of you have not even read the original thread but you're all jumping on Y.A.B.U band wagon. It was a game of crazy golf ffs. My nephew is a baby. He did not know any different I was not aware that Mr Perfect had not had his turn. And he did sound like a 5 year old.
It was a game of crazy golf. No-on died.
Sorry but not all of us are perfect aunties or parents.
