to have lost it and gone ape shit at his parents house?

[DryGob]

His parents are the two most annoying people in the world. Yesterday we were there at their house. His mother constantly went on and on about sorting the carcass out, his father was attention seeking, coughing and spluttering good everywhere while we were trying to eat, the pair of them kept coming out with ridiculous stories that made them sound like twats, going on about how much money and jewellery they had and how spoilt she was by insisting that FIL and DH buy her new jewellery every Christmas and then to top it off - his father let DD outside after I'd specifically said she wasn't to go out but he opened the door in a cocky manner and let her out in the snow with no shoes on!!!! So I lost it, told MIL that she was the carcass, asked if they were so rich why is their house a disgusting grovel and told them that if they undermine me with dd again they'll be banned from unsupervised contact. Now, nobody (including dh) is talking to me.

I've just woken dd from laughing at the carcass argument.

[MistressMerryWeather]

Explosive lollies.

It sounds like the sort of argument I'd have had with DS when he was 3
"I am Buz Lightyear"
"No, I'm Buz Lightyear!"
"Okay you're Buz Lightyear"
"No you're Buz Lightyear!"

Cross that with The Royal Family and I think we have the OPs family

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

you're the carcuss! No, you're the carcass!

It's like Spartacus in reverse!

I'm sensing a lot of anger here!

[pieceofpurplesky]

Is it only me that is seeing the carcass argument in my head as ending up like mr bean and joey from friends ...

[Tirfarthoin]

I mean the TV Royal family, not the one who live in Buck Palace

[pieceofpurplesky]

I know they are not carcasses by the way

[cupcakelovinggirl]

You really are spitting feathers ... Feathers from the carcass?

[Enjolrass]

tir I don't know...prince Phillip looks the type to open a door and let a child out and break a fudge with lollies

[VestalVirgin]

Depending on how old DD is, I do think that it was quite nasty to let her out into the snow without shoes. If she's a toddler, I would probably have reacted the same. Especially as it is rude to undermine someone's parenting even if the outcome is not as potentially dangerous as catching a cold.

Calling MIL a carcass was unreasonable, though - what did she do to earn that? Being a boring person who likes to talk about boring things isn't enough to justify such a nasty insult.

I would have aimed the insult at FIL instead.

"One is not the carcass!"

Just another family dinner at Buck Palace.

[ThenLaterWhenItGotDark]

Is it those awful Robert de Niro films?

Surely there aren't real carcasses involved?

[iklboo]

The carcass car crash kerfuffle.

[sugar21]

Bag of bones, Bag of bones

[cupcakelovinggirl]

Is it me or does the word carcass now sound weird?

I want to insult someone in RL now by calling them that. Would definitely win an arguement.

[DuchessDaisy]

This would be a good sitcom: Bad table manners, arguing families, "vulgar" behaviour from MIL re jewellery, carcass stripping...

[BreakfastAtStephanies]

This thread has me in stitches. Crying with laughter. Love the whole " carcass " argument in all its forms and the fab pics up thread - thanks picsofpurplesky. You guys have made my Sunday.
Life is too short not to walk barefoot in the snow btw.

[Tirfarthoin]

TBF my first thought when I hear the word carcass is of a hunting trophy. I just can't imagine Princess Kate going ape in quite this fashion.

[Pipestheghost]

Oi, you the carcass

[BreakfastAtStephanies]

[Wagglebees]

[DuchessDaisy]
