just asked someone too leave my house. as all they have done is insult my baby!

[Murphyslaw21]

I'm fuming. An old work colleague has moved near to me, we always got on OK although she always had a brush up her arse. Anyway we bumped into each other the other day and I suggested she comes round for a coffee. So our two babies can meet. They are both 9 months.

So she turned up, and was very patronising about my house. It's a bit of building site but lounge is lovly. But I got the oohh you were brave doing that colour scheme. It's duck egg blue. Anyway let it go.

So I'm feeding baby girl and she says oh can't she feed herself. So I said she has finger food but mostly just gets licked and thrown. So I feed her whilst she is playing with finger food. Oh MINE feeds herself. Next it's playing on floor. Mine sits up but falls over if left, colleague says oh MINE has been sitting by herself for at least two months. She is very advanced for her age. Then she has made a comment that it's strange to be in baby gro rather than clothes. So I said but she can roll around and play without it all getting skirted up. Oh MINE just screames if she is a baby gro. She likes clothes. Final straw was I'm making a drink and she says oh arnt her eyes close together. So I said no quiet abruptly. To be told maybe it's just because she has a large head!

I'm livid. So I fly in and said exact words " oh fuvk off. You've done nothing but insult my baby, did u come round just to make you feel that your baby is superior". She then said you never could take criticism,

So I lost it and said ( I feel a bit bad about this because her baby is really cute) take your ugly fucking kid and get out, go bitch to your husband ... Oh no you can't cause he is shacked up with his girlfriend. And no I see why.

Ok I feel a bit mean about ugly baby comment but I was livid. I'm fuming so fuming. There was so many digs and comments. Why why why I would never compare my baby to someone else's and I certainly never been so rude.

You didn't "ask her" to leave your house did you?

I was going to say that arf.

sooty, I think the OP's words were rather more concise than 'Please leave my house'

OP, poor show - if it happened as described, you both deserve each other and I think you should remain BFF. If it's made up/embellished, 2/10.

I think good on you OP too except for maybe the ugly baby bit. Nobody has the right to come to your home and insult you, your decor, your child and your parenting. Why is everybody telling OP she is out of order when the other person has sat and openly insulted her?! You were much more restrained than I would have been....

She sounds like a cow. Good riddance. for you.

You rock, Tiger!

Hey, btw, I'm thinking of painting my kitchen duck egg blue with white cupboards ...seemed such a 'calming' colour. Do you recommend?

For me, all bets were off when the cow commented specifically on your child's appearance. Not bloody on, that. , gloves off after that comment. You did well .

Oh, and as well as the duck-egg blue, the 'inappropriate' clothes, lack of co-ordination and development delay of your babe, please, you also didn't commit the cardinal sin of offering her instant coffee, did you?

Honestly OP, you sound really jealous that your baby isn't as advanced as hers and what you said to her was pathetic.

Op this is all I can say about your reaction with guest 👏 👏 👏 . Well done she deserved it.

i dont believe a word of it, but i think we've all wanted to do this with some stuck up cunt at some point!

Hmmmm if this is true...

You completely over reacted and behaved much worse than her

Oh well it's done now. She sounds a bit of a pain. And if you didn't say this somebody else might do in the not too distant future. That was below the belt comment about her husband running off. It's the sort of thing I might say to someoby else but not to the person. That's kind of worse in a way.

Oh yeah, this totally happened.

Because, if nothing else, you would invite over a colleague who you never really liked much so 'your babies could meet'.

Completely true and not made up in any way, shape or form.

I'm a DGM and it goes on with DGC too.....

I just nod and smile, nod and smile......

The husband bit was not nice but I think from now on she will not be judging you or saying it to your face.

This may come in handy.

Oh whatever, moral high ground, blah, blah, blah.

People who behave badly in that snide manner always get away with it, because nobody ever pulls them up on their shit.

Maybe she'll think twice about her words and behaviour in the future. Nasty, spiteful woman.

I find laughing out loud at snide comments really effective - in keeping with the old MN chestnut of 'did you mean to be so rude?'

No need for gutter sniping (this word is woefully underused btw, so thanks for bringing it up on this thread. V apt).

Harsh
But sometimes I think people that thoughtlessly insult others need to be pulled up and told.

Not the bit about her baby and husband, but the pulling her I think is perfectly
understandable

Seems to be a lot of post and run op's that are ...erm... Interestkng on here at the moment

Can't say i really blame you op. You were wrong insulting her baby, but can see how you lost it.

go bitch to your husband ... Oh no you can't cause he is shacked up with his girlfriend. And no I see why.

That is fucking hilarious.

Silly cow she is.

YWBU but she was first. You were goaded.
Don't beat yourself up about it or take it personally.

She sounds very negative and people like that with their
one upmanship games are a pain.

Laughed at baby likes clothes, no doubt designer ones!

Owllady I LOVE your story, really made me giggle! Sure your baby is, and was, beautiful and not at all monkey like!
