Where's the thread about the 3yo kid of separated parents joining in the adult-only holiday?

Sorry, I know I should have tagged it/ put it in TIW etc. Can't have been a troll, totally banal thing to lie about, surely?

I hope its not a troll.

How do they check them out to kake sure? Send them a PM?

coffeeisnectar · 02/09/2015 10:22

Perhaps mnhq popped round to the ops house to check her out and is still listening to the update, swigging gin and being outraged.

Once they both sober up, we might get told what's happening.

Abroad wasn't stated however the op used the word resort which is something I would associate with abroad rather than UK I may be wrong though however abroad or Uk wouldn't make a difference I still wouldn't let my ex take our young child on an adult only holiday because it would affect the other people he was going with not to mention being very boring for the child and I wouldn't do that to them or my child

MissingPanda · 02/09/2015 11:25

Another one who wants an ending whether OP was a troll or not.

I wanted an update too, even if it was made up! It's so disappointing when you get a story and don't get the end Sad

YouTheCat · 02/09/2015 11:36

I reckon it was Centre Parks.

fastdaytears · 02/09/2015 12:01

I had thought CP but she said it was a hotel set up rather than a villa. Still possible I guess.

Lndnmummy · 02/09/2015 12:08

Where had this thread gone? How could someone possibly make that up? Why would they do that.

comingintomyown · 02/09/2015 12:18

Why would anybody make up that kind of thing ? Oh well

pluck · 02/09/2015 12:22

Actually, "investedness" charts would be of great value to MNHQ (to show to advertisers). They already have the appropriate metrics:

  • number of posts
  • time period (slow burn or "fast-seller")
  • spread of posters (showing whether it's a "minority interest" or "flash mob")
  • lurkers ("watching" without participating)
  • number of appeals to MNHQ, troll-hunting or appealing for an entry into Classics.

That is disappointing Bride of Wankenstein. I waited about 14 years for the third book of a trilogy to be published, and unfortunately when it was published it was not as good as the first two.

Perhaps the OP has got the hump that she is being checked-out by MNTowers and has vowed to leave us all in suspense as revenge.

Sandbrook · 02/09/2015 12:30

Well having joyously completely missed the first OP I stupidly read the whole motherfucking thing and am stuck in a "where is the OP mindfuck" and have wasted an entire morning.
Apologies for my language but my goat is got.
I for one am extremely happy with fuckyouchriss final chapter.
Rich, rich beyond our wildest dreams!

abigamarone · 02/09/2015 12:34

What I especially like is that this thread has the potential to become a multi-pager.

BathtimeFunkster · 02/09/2015 12:56

The original thread had loads of troll pointers for maximum MN outrage and over-investment

1 a holiday is at stake
2 a child free holiday is at stake
3 a parent is planning to bring an unwelcome child on a child free holiday (MN has form for this being a high traffic thread)
4 the OP is upset about something, but apparently too nice to do anything about it, thus needs MN encouragement to be more assertive
5 the person planning to do the inconsiderate thing has shown signs of being a twat (women can babysit)
6 potential for real time updates
7 shitstorm

MythicalKings · 02/09/2015 12:58

We need closure.

Boobz · 02/09/2015 13:09

The line about babysitting is not that trollish. I went on holiday recently with some Italian friends (who have 3 little girls and we have 3 kids too), and after a meal in a nice restaurant in Sienna, the male friend said "right, can the women take the children outside so the men can pay" (kids had been playing up) - and I was aghast and threw DH a "why are we friends with this guy again??"

He's a lovely chap and adores his wife and kids, but he does come up with some sexist shite which I hope his girls don't pick up!

5Foot5 · 02/09/2015 13:13

Yup - that thread was kind of addictive.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 02/09/2015 13:13

MNHQ say they are still checking out the OP of that thread Sad

BBQsAreSooooOverrated · 02/09/2015 14:06

Wow. I'd never guess that wasnt a real thread, why go to the trouble?

VenusRising · 02/09/2015 14:15

Was it a reverse?

Grin grey pants indeed!

chillybillybob · 03/09/2015 07:32

I think MNHQ has run off on holiday with the op.

As neither are getting back to us.

YouBastardSockBalls · 03/09/2015 07:39

I hope it was the brass neck troll think liftzilla as otherwise, when this happens I'm always concerned that something could have happened to the OP. Especially as she doesn't seem to have answered HQ.

Tealtowel · 04/09/2015 19:51
Hmm
