DH and DSis fallen out - I'm stuck in middle

Sis came to our house upset as she'd had a row with her line manager. I tried to comfort her while she was here and dh suggested to her that her dress had owls on and perhaps that contributed to the confrontation. Sister is now saying that dh is takin sides with her line manager and they I am taking sides with DH and therefore, nobody is supporting her. I feel stuck in the middle as dH did not mean to blame sis, but just pointed out factors that could have contributed to it all. But then again he could have been more tactful about it. On the other hand, sister is been unfair to me (I feel) as I was the first to support her when it first happened!!
AIBU to tell her I support her but also see where dh was coming from or would it be more reasonable to just tell her I want nothing more to do with it as I feel stuck in the middle and I feel that is unfair

Iggi99 what is a Willy-off?? I'm intrigued Confused

Fizrim · 06/10/2015 23:50

Stress head on?

Have just made an effort after just read the owl jokes. Good job I'm also nocturnal like our feathered friends.

Fizrim · 06/10/2015 23:51

Although if it is a phone auto-correct thing, I'm wondering why that phrase is the replacement and what it's been used for previously Wine

Wol wishes you all a hippy pappy buthuthday

arethereanyleftatall · 06/10/2015 23:52

Is her line manager a fox? A hungry one?

BadLad · 06/10/2015 23:53

"Is anyone fiercely trying to work out what the typo dress had owls on translates to in real life or are you all to busy with the owl jokes."

Dress had shit on? Best I can think of

definiteissues · 06/10/2015 23:53

Missrubyring there was a thread where the OP moaned about her OH having a willy off in the garden with the neighbours. everyone wanted to know what a willy off was. Op never came back.

arethereanyleftatall · 06/10/2015 23:56

I am trying to work it out. I really should go to sleep. But - one letter to right on keyboard gives 'peld' and one to left gives 'ikqa'. I just can't fathom.

MinecraftWonder · 06/10/2015 23:58

He actually pointed out the owls on her dress?

What an absolute prick. LTB.

BrendaFlange · 06/10/2015 23:58

'dress had holes in'?
'dross had ho' s in'
'mess had foul pong'
'desk had mouse on'?

arethereanyleftatall · 07/10/2015 00:01

Dresshadowlson
Dresaddoulson - is that a word?

SiobhanSharpe · 07/10/2015 00:01

Sadly, I suspect it's holes.... (But I'm a boring old fart). Still a weird thing for OP's DH to say, though. Confused

jorahmormont · 07/10/2015 00:23

Maybe it'll be drip-fed later that the dress was covered in mutilated owls? Or owls re-enacting various pages of the kama sutra?

jorahmormont · 07/10/2015 00:23

Maybe she walked in there with actual owls clinging onto her dress?

APlaceOnTheCouch · 07/10/2015 00:23

Please don't let it be a typo - I want it to be 'owls'!

OP's DH thinks that a pattern with feathered creatures is inappropriate for business attire. I imagine he recommended that stripes or small dots are more suitable when meeting with one's line manager. And that OP's DSIS was like the woman in the cartoon but more owl-woman than catwoman.

Real owls?

Poor Hedwig. Sad

APlaceOnTheCouch · 07/10/2015 00:35

Maybe OP's DSIS is Lady Gaga? I quite like the idea of LG having a line manager who rates her outfits.

BrendaFlange · 07/10/2015 00:35

actual porn Kama sutra owls clinging to her dress.

lunar1 · 07/10/2015 00:42

Does her work have address code banning owls or all birds?

pigsDOfly · 07/10/2015 01:01

As OP hasn't come back either perhaps this OP is the willy off poster under a changed name.

derxa · 07/10/2015 06:14

Is she called Sage? Sadly I am old enough to remember.

OwlinaTree · 07/10/2015 07:21

I think this is what the op wanted grinch, she hasn't been back to explain has she?
