To bloody hate mud.

[katemiddletonsmama]

I hate it. I hate it, I tell you. It gets everywhere. It sucked off my son's shoes and he got mud all over his socks which went all over the carpet even though I'd stripped him at the door and put his clothes in the washing machine (he's primary school age so don't call social services). We went for a walk on bloody CONCRETE and there was still 10 feet of mud.

Mud should be in a field. I would like mud if I had servants to take my clothes at the door and wipe the mud off in a suitable boot room or something. But I don't. It's bad enough having to wash son's football boots every week without even more bloody shoes and wellies covered in the foul stuff.

All I wanted to do was to get some fresh air. I wish I'd never moved out of the city. And no, I can't move back there, thanks for that thought. I'm stuck in this bloody mud.

I live in London but there is still mud on my dcs shoes! Then it gets in my car. ..It makes me sick to look at it.

I have spent much time in mud lately. I don't usually mind mud but my wellies, snow boots and walking boots have all sprung leaks together so I have constantly wet feet.
Just waiting for trenchfoot now, tbh.

You live in the country, you're supposed to get a dog

Where my DCs go to school there is a particular type of mud that gets into the weave of the fabric of the PE shirts and will not wash out. It is the same with the sand on the beach close to their school it gets in the swimming costumes and will not come out.

YANBU. Horrid stuff!

Embrace it, cross country running, mountain biking, fell running, mud is just part of all things that are actually fun in this family ( and unfortunately in the house and car) hence the user name, roll on summer though the washing machine can't take much more.

I live in the city. Me, the buggy and DDs boots are all covered in it. As is the back seat where she kicks her feet. I'm fed up with it.

The only good mud is when it's in a mask or an entire body wrap. And then someone else can clean it off me (for a hundred quid).

FML.

Joining in the mud hate, DH slipped on a muddy path on his way home from work on Friday and broke his leg - bloody mud!

Oh dear Nancy obviously mud has its evil side.

YANBU I moan about it most days. I have two dogs that have churned up the garden, filthy. I mop the floor they go out to the toilet, I mop the floor, they go out to the toilet, I mop the floor arghhhhharghh!!!! The fridge etc is filthy from their muddy paws!

... but then I think I'm lucky not to have a house that has flooded and most of it's contents ruined - so it's not that bad. I have a mop!

YADNBU, after standing in a waterlogged field to watch football and then driving home three muddy and sweaty teenagers I definitely feel your pain. We got a good win though which takes the edge off the fact I've only just started to get the feeling back in my toes
Hope you DH recovers quickly Nancy

Why do you dislike it? I LOVE mud. I like getting filthy. I like the adventures involved and the warm baths afterwards. All 4 of my kids are the same.

I've got 3 dogs, it's a fpita!

Bring on the frost next week!

The muddiest place I know is Staffordshire. They really do mud properly there. Sometimes you just have to accept the mud. One of my favourite walks goes through an incredibly muddy bit, but it is worth it for the rewards later on (Chrome Hill)

YY to the poster who mentioned special school mud that is impossible to wash out! And the constant mopping required when you have a dog/s I'm another one looking forward to this weeks frosts

You want servants to take your clotges off at the door? All sounds very Lady Chatterley..

Yabu-I love mud!!

I am assuming the servants would be wiping the mud off a (now naked) you in the boot room OP? [wibk]

My children are playing outdoor sports (rugby etc) nearly every weekday, bringing home kit and boots that look like they have been dipped in mud. I now have a system with buckets and soaking.

I hate it, but with two dogs needing walked regularly though, it is a fact of life.

I am in Essex, and the soil here is a heavy clay, which is enormously slippery when even slightly wet. At the moment I hardly dare take the dogs into the fields. I'd need a wetsuit and flippers and my muck boots have just sprung a leak note to self to order new ones this week.

The footpath outside my VERY city centre offices is currently caked in mud from a number of building projects locally.

DD gets covered whether at home in the (suburban) city or visiting DPs/DMIL in the countryside.

It's a pain, but it's part of life....

Mud is annoying but inevitable outside. But when the mountainbikers in the family drop mud in my shoes stripping off in the lobby, then more mud from their muddy legs on the bathroom mat, and leave it there...... Grrrrrrrrrr

Though I have to admit that when they've had a shower but miss a bit and still have spatters of mud all over their neck its quite comical
