im pretty sure I'm nbu but my husband thinks I am?!?
My oh is having a friend stay over on sat night (he lives 2hrs away so he stays in spare room), they will go out for dinner and then play PlayStation/drink cider etc which they do every so often. However, I'm 38 weeks preg so husband won't be drinking, and I have said he ought to tell his friend not to have a drink while here as if I go into labour he will need to go home. Dh thinks he will be ok just to be in another room.... Shock I can't seem to get him to understand that having a random about the house when I'm
Labouring is not ok Angry

Not not at all, I can read and write plus understand comprehension, I just find certain mindsets weird.

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:13

What about my mindset is weird? You said it was because you didnt know what i meant. Is that no longer true?

Dutchess61 · 13/04/2016 23:15

Lets just move on RudElf, Im not particularly interested in you.

squoosh · 13/04/2016 23:18

The word 'weird' is starting to look weird Grin

OddSocksHighHeels · 13/04/2016 23:19

I would actually like to know why you think rude is weird. Her viewpoint seems to be the same as the majority here yet she was singled out. I am curious as to why.

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:19

If you arent willing to explain your insult then could you please retract it.

Dutchess61 · 13/04/2016 23:23

Give it up Rude or fight your own reflection. Ive moved on Grin

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:26

Right so you single someone out to insult them, refuse to explain it, then claim you arent interested in them. But I'm the weird one? Riiiight.

OddSocksHighHeels · 13/04/2016 23:27

My cat fought her own reflection tonight.

Erm, not sure what else to say. I genuinely don't get what rude did though. I'm very confused.

squoosh · 13/04/2016 23:28

Had the cat been on the cider?

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:30

Or the playstation?

PaulAnkaTheDog · 13/04/2016 23:30

Oh dutchess is using the reflection retort on here as well. Good to know..

OddSocksHighHeels · 13/04/2016 23:31

My cat? No, she's examining the bath quite happily. I have scrolled back and can't see what rude did wrong or why she was called weird. I'll have wrinkles frowning at all this Shock

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:34

Oh is there a reflection meme or something kicking about? Is it retort of the month we should all be using and finding ourselves hilarious when doing so?

Seeyalater · 13/04/2016 23:35

It's all getting a bit weird here Grin To clarify- I'm happy with friend staying, I'm happy with them having PlayStation/man time, and I'd be happy with cider time too if it was easy enough to stick Bob in a taxi. But, we live in the sticks, there is no public transport, he lives two hours away. I'll be 38 weeks preg, which is term and every possibility of labour. I'm not 'super anxious', I'm not 'putting life on hold', I wouldn't be phased by 'being at a wedding' or something. My only issue is that when I'm labouring at home, when I will want privacy, I won't want someone else there, and if he's had a drink there's not really any viable way of him leaving.

'labouring at home' makes me picture you wearing a hi-viz jacket and attacking the back garden patio with a pneumatic drill rather than squeezing a baby out into the world.

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:40

In that case OP i stick by my initial response which is to postpone his visit.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 13/04/2016 23:40

Elf she used it on me,on another thread like five minutes before.

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:40

But maybe thats just a totally weird thing to say. Confused

RudeElf · 13/04/2016 23:41

Ooh, are we in a club now paul? Was that our secret initiation into the dutchess reflection club?

Dutchess61 · 13/04/2016 23:43

are you? who knows?

OddSocksHighHeels · 13/04/2016 23:44

Ok see tell him that you may go into labour. If you do then he chooses - cab or local hotel if he drinks or drive home if he doesn't (5am and stone cold sober I'd still choose hotel as I'd be too tired to drive) or tell DH you want nobody there. And all that is if you go into labour, what's the chance it's that day?

dutchess who are you grinning at Confused I'm very genuinely wanting answers yo the questions I asked

OddSocksHighHeels · 13/04/2016 23:45

X posted. Don't bother answering duchess if you just want to play games. I've seriously had enough at that shit.
