To be upset....

Booked a 3D scan for today as thought this would be a lovely thing to do as a family (dh, ds and 2 dss) at Christmas and told older step children about it a few weeks ago. One showed no interest and said at the time he would probably have plans so I let it go there and then but other ( who lives with us full time ) said yes,great, he'd be there. This morning he has clearly forgotten and announces he has a guest coming round, I was not consulted directly but pointed out to dh that guest should be put off until later in the day as a previous commitment has been made but dh decides to take the easy route and just let it go. Left feeling really crushed, dh can't see why I am upset and can't understand that he should be showing his adult sons that if you have committed to something you should see it through, even if you have forgotten once reminded you should stick with first commitment. Note my parents would have loved to have come but I didn't invite as was treating it as a thing for just the 5 of us. AIBU?

He was in surf film with Patrick Swayze when I was a teen. Rubbish film but I wore the VHS tape out anyway, and he does always come across as genuinely nice man.

Well she does lack that ability, it has literally eaten her up, she has gone from a beautiful lovely woman to someone who can't find peace and turned to substance abuse to cope, we are talking years and years of no closure, which is however you look at it, not coping. At no point did I say that made her less of a person. I am blessed that I CAN think the way I think, I do feel the way you see death overall makes a difference to how you cope with loss.

71 I think, but I don't know when that photo was taken...

Notimefortossers · 27/12/2015 19:29

MILF! Keanu is 50 so she's got to be 70 ish?

TheGullibleGull · 27/12/2015 19:31

It's fascinating how OP has turned from pwecious pwincess to wise old Tibetan lama.

shazzarooney99 · 27/12/2015 19:32

Phalenopsisgirl you are silly, naive and ignorant. I would like to say something really really unkind but that would make me just as bad as you so i wont.

shazzarooney99 · 27/12/2015 19:32

TheGullibleGull lmao

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 27/12/2015 19:33

Keanu is ridiculously good/young looking.

OP is ludicrously trollish. I've never seen such blatant trollfuckery. Utterly cuntish.

Bakeoffcake · 27/12/2015 19:33

Op you are a nasty shit stirrer.
You must such a fulfilling happy life to be doing this.Hmm

Firsteverchangeofname · 27/12/2015 19:33

God I pity your DC

Don't blame the step kids for having 'other stuff arranged'

Quite a regular occurrence I shouldn't wonder

Chippednailvarnish · 27/12/2015 19:33

Lama's do have relatively small brains compared to their size, explains a lot.

She's from Essex originally, so I claim Keanu as kin Grin

shazzarooney99 · 27/12/2015 19:34

shame we cant like posts on here! i would certainly like quite a few!

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 27/12/2015 19:34

You can think the way you think because you haven't suffered as your friend has.

It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Before my children died I could have sat and thought about what it would be like, how I would have reacted and I would have been nowhere near the reality.

You know fuck all.

wannaBe · 27/12/2015 19:35

And dislike some... When is the dislike option coming in?

msgrinch · 27/12/2015 19:36

Go away op. We're talking about keanu now. Take your bile filled bullshit somewhere else.

shazzarooney99 · 27/12/2015 19:36

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe, my mums lost two children, it turned her to drink, i resented that, now shes died, around 8 weeks ago, it showed me what a selfish cow i was, it was her way of coping xxxx

shazzarooney99 · 27/12/2015 19:37

wannaBe, i hope the dislike option comes in soon!

shazzarooney99 · 27/12/2015 19:38

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe i am sorry for your loss. xxxx

fidel1ne · 27/12/2015 19:38

She looks amazing.

So is his dad Hawaiian? Or have I just dreamt a load of false Keanu trivia? Confused

Chippednailvarnish · 27/12/2015 19:38

Look on the bright side people at least your not the poor sods who are going to have to watch the OP shove an imaginary baby out of her hairy axe wound all in the name of bonding.

I loved point break, I can't believe they have remade it! "Get me two Utah, two"

AliceInUnderpants · 27/12/2015 19:38

Honestly, where the fuck are MNHQ? This is ridiculous.

wannaBe · 27/12/2015 19:39

It was alleged that it would be on fb soon, not sure when though. Perhaps we could use one of the newly allowed emogi's (sp?) to double as a dislike button.

Phalenopsisgirl · 27/12/2015 19:39

I am neither Tibetan lama or princess. I am a real woman who others feel they can slag off and call all manner or horrid names based on them reading what they want to read, a witch hunt and the great feeling they must get running with the crowd and bullying, I could be the mother Theresa and people would find a reason to call me the c word simply because they are getting a buzz out of this awful nastiness. I am almost happy to be th target as at least they are leaving some other poor woman alone who may be less able to handle this kind of treatment and who may have turned like me, to others for a boot a sulk and a cry. As it is they are amazing me that people can be so ignorant....who knew

msgrinch · 27/12/2015 19:39

Hairy axe. Grin

Chippednailvarnish · 27/12/2015 19:40

He's Hawaiian / Chinese / Essex.

Just like me minus the Hawaiian Grin
