Is my mummy BU? (Lighthearted)

I'm a 17 month old girl, and I think I have the worst mother in the world.

This morning, she forcibly put me in the car, then drove me to the large building that I like to make screechy noises in because of the echo. She strapped me into the iron chariot, and started to walk around. So as to not disturb her from her seemingly random placing of objects into the back of my chariot, I began making my screechy screeches, when to my horror she made the noise that meant she wanted me to stop. I was completely dumbfounded, does anyone else's mother do this?

Anyway, so as not to provoke her further, I turned my attention to the other items in the chariot, in fact when her back was turned I managed to get hold of one of the tubs with the foil tops that she tries to market to me as a treat. (I know better. I've seen where she puts the choc choc) with my brand new mouth knives I managed to piece the papery stuff, squirting the innards all over myelf and the cart, before throwing it on the floor. I was having such a great time before she turned back. She made the noise that means stop again, before starting to clean me.

Once back home, I felt a little tired, so she put me in my tiny jail, where I finally submitted to sleep. I can only assume she ceased to exist in this time, but as I dreamed of the smell of chocolate cake and sausage casserole she may have been making them in the "ah ah no burney hot" as she calls it.

When I finally got up this afternoon, she made me my afternoon feast, but forgot to peel my apple. I taught her a lesson by throwing it on the floor. I may have punished her further, but Mr maker was on, and the shapes song is my jam.

We later engaged in our favourite activities, mainly looking at the bound paper whilst I try to pull it out of her hands to show her how to use it properly, I conducted her in singing (making sure to reward by clapping) and screeching when unable to get the square in the round hole.

I thought I had given her a lovely day, full of challenges, but now, all I want to do is roll around on the sofa/mummy, alternately head butting her and kicking her in the nose, whilst spilling my bottle of water on every available surface. She keeps lifting my legs out the way and asking for kisses, which she know I abhor.

Would I be unreasonable to go NC?

Tell your Mummy to turn off the square, lighted up thing and find some nice people to speak to real life, babysteppedonlego! People with a sense of humour. Wrench it away from her if necessary!

theforceawakens · 24/02/2015 20:03

steppedonlego please ignore the horrid posters earlier. Seriously, why post on a lighthearted thread if you are just going to make someone feel shit?

Sounds like you had a challenging day and I no doubt think your dd think you were wholly unreasonable. The life of a mum of a 17month old!

Have a wine and enjoy some time without bring crawled on/kicked! Smile

MrsDiesel · 24/02/2015 20:06

Yanbu, your mummy is clearly hard work. Definitely wake up twice in the night and I suggest you learn the word - why? Repeat all say.

Shockers · 24/02/2015 20:36

It was Thumper's dad I think. I often repeat his wisdom to the children in my life, both at home and school.

FFS it is perfectly clear from the title of the thread what it is going to be. It is right there before you even click in. It even has lighthearted. So why would you click in read it and leave some snippy horrible comment except you want to make the OP feel bad.
God I hate some of the snide assholes on here sometimes.

Ignore OP, your sounds like a lot less hard work than some of the 'grown ups' on this thread.

squoosh · 25/02/2015 10:37

People can be so dickish.

chemenger · 25/02/2015 10:44

I thought it was funny, these threads always make me smile and think "thank god that's a phase we have done with". It was perfectly obvious what the thread was going to be like; what satisfaction do people get from coming on a thread that has no interest for them simply to be snarky? It does not make them look intellectually or emotionally superior, if that is what they were hoping to achieve. There are loads of other threads - read those.

magimedi · 25/02/2015 10:54

Jesus, what a load of miserable twats around today.

If you don't like a thread don't comment.

StrangeGlue · 25/02/2015 11:08

Yabu as as far as I can see you have deposited no bodily fluids on her and she's only had to change you once. Up your game tomorrow comrade

Love, smaller stranger glue

JustHavinABreak · 25/02/2015 13:30

Thank you OP. You have made my day! I had just convinced myself that my DS1 (3) hated me and that's why he was torturing me. And while DS2 (7mths) looks on in amusement from the lofty heights of his high chair, I feared that he might he unduly influenced. In reality mama has gastroenteritis and is feeling extremely sorry for herself. Probably nobody hates me! The kids will give me a wide berth now though because they think I'm nuts laughing so hard.

CaptainAnkles · 25/02/2015 13:32

I thought 'tiny jail' was pretty funny Smile

Downtheroadfirstonleft · 25/02/2015 13:47

Post made me smile.

I can u stand someone opening a thread and finding it dull, pointless, whatever, whatever. But if it is so beneath your notice, why bother to post something unpleasant?

WobblyHalo · 25/02/2015 14:04

Hello babysteppedonlego
I'm a 3 year old boy and I think my mum is worse than yours. She made me a ham sandwich the other day... with HAM in it! Can you believe it?!

And yes, it did go on the floor.

I can tell you loads but she's trying to put me in the car now and I'm hiding...

Stay strong!

taxi4ballet · 25/02/2015 14:26

Go You! My owner is even worse than your mum - what self-respecting feline likes to eat the same food out of the same bowl every day? And - she's banned me from the living room windowsill now, all because I was jumping up and down and shouting at GingerTom through the window, and knocked her houseplant on the floor and broke it.

Its. Just. Not. Fair.

bimandbam · 25/02/2015 14:28

Fun police out in force today aren't they.

OP your post was fun and silly and cheered me up. I have a 14 month old so feel your pain.

Make yourself a cuppa and have a slice of that cake and ignore the miserable fuckers.

momb · 25/02/2015 14:36

YABU. It sound as if apart from one treat in the big place you spilled no slime and hardly any mess. One apple doses not a learning make!
You could learn her by giving those 'kisses' but making sure they are 30%slobber and 70% nose slime. That'll learn her!

Bettercallsaul1 · 25/02/2015 14:37

After reading your harrowing post, I have to agree baby steppedonlego that indeed you do have the worst mother in the world. The restrictions and humiliations she subjects you to are clearly beyond the pale. I think you should change the description of your sufferings from "light-hearted" to "broken-hearted".

TheWanderingUterus · 25/02/2015 14:39

Ha, OP, getting flashbacks of my own DCs baby and toddlerhood, I'm appreciating my quiet cup of tea whilst they are both at school all the more having read that.

I also think you have received an unnecessarily hard time on here. The are hundreds of threads on here that I open everyday which I find unfunny, repeated, boring or make me roll my eyes a bit. Somehow I manage to recognise that people are all different and just close the tab, without posting anything to make the OP or thread participants feel stupid or silly.
