Nanny wouldn't get it

I'm sure you'll feel my pain, I wanted Nanny to give me her phone (it was on the shelf), so I could make important phone calls.I have a social life as well Nanny!

However, she refused, as she was 'busy.' As far as I can see cooking a chicken isn't as important as me. That chicken's already roasted, but I'm still here and I have needs that far outweigh a roasted chicken. Time is biscuits Nanny!

WIBU to cry and not talk to her. She's acting all offended, I've told her she's dead to me until I want some sweets.

So just because someone finds a post a bit hmm they are 'miserable as fuck' Nation

Nope. I didn't find it that funny either.

HOWEVER - (and this is the important bit, so take note) I didn't feel the need to be a total cunt about it.

It's unbelievable SecretNutella.

I cannot imagine for a moment a thread which is so benign getting such a mauling even 1 year ago.

Wha's happening round here FFS?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 12/06/2016 17:47

No wonder people say MN is full of vipers!Hmm

derxa · 12/06/2016 17:49

MN is grim at the moment.

NotYoda · 12/06/2016 17:51

I had two Nannies

I somehow knew that word would get the bitches' noses twitching

Martha's comment about the NCT shows what her prejudices are

What the fuck is wrong with nanny now?!

BranTriLlygaid · 12/06/2016 17:52

I may not have a 'sense of humour' about this thread, but at least I don't resort to name calling at those who don't agree. Not finding these threads funny doesn't not make anyone 'miserable as fuck' and as for 'sand in your vagina', perhaps stop watching so much South Park and think up your own original insults.

Ginslinger · 12/06/2016 17:53

true that usual but not everyone has been around for all the done-to-death times and like you say, Martha was clearly vexed by it! Grin

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 12/06/2016 17:54

Nothing is wrong with 'Nanny ' Hmm

NotYoda · 12/06/2016 17:55

Salem

Depending on where your prejudices lie, Nanny (grandmother) is common as muck or Nanny (child carer) means you are mimsy middle-class spoiled brat.

Can't win really

AugustaFinkNottle · 12/06/2016 17:57

But there are numerous topics that have been done to death on MN. Parking, smoking, in-laws, bridezillas, C&P spaces in supermarkets, noisy neighbours, wheelchair spaces on buses, taking children out of school - you name it, it's probably been discussed. If you're bored with a thread, click off it. There's no need to make a personal attack, which is against the rules anyway.

LouisCK · 12/06/2016 17:59

Family Guy actually. Bran

I'm sad for you that you got that wrong and that you have sand in your enormous vagina

Twinklestar2 · 12/06/2016 18:03

All the children in my family call my mum 'Nanny', what are they supposed to be calling her?Confused

SoupDragon · 12/06/2016 18:05

Oh, I see the bitchy ones are out in force tonight. WTF is wrong with people?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 12/06/2016 18:06

My ds has a Nana,Nanny and a GrannyGrin

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 12/06/2016 18:07

It's Nan in our house for MiL.

DetestableHerytike · 12/06/2016 18:09

Op, love your name, btw.

amysmummy12345 · 12/06/2016 18:11

Bloody hell there's some right rays of fucking sunshine about... Take no notice op, they're probably busy penning their own gripes about the naice ham bring out of stock in Harrods...

Tribblewithoutacause · 12/06/2016 18:14

Ah don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm more bemused than anything else. Been on MN too long for professionally offended to drive me off.

Ok, I said it three times...did it work?! Grin

sleeponeday · 12/06/2016 18:18

I do hope some of your kids aren't as spiteful and vindictive as their mothers are. If something isn't your sort of post, hit the damn back button and don't comment at all - if tumbleweed ensues people will stop, and if it doesn't then hey, some people enjoy things you don't. Amazing, but true.

Absolutely uncalled for. Really sorry you've had this to contend with OP.

IthinkIamsinking · 12/06/2016 18:18

No Loopy Grin

bushtailadventures · 12/06/2016 18:19

I'm a Nanny, in the grandmother sense of the word, I had 2 Nanny's also in that way, but my Nanny had a professional Nanny..so we cover all classes :)

OP, in this house it would have been 'Nanny wouldn't let me eat my bodyweight in biscuits just before she gave me my dinner!! I tried lying on the floor and screaming but she just stepped over me, can you believe it??!! I'm still outraged Angry Grin
