MIL and daughter's hat.

[doomf]

My MIL looks after my DD one day a week (Tuesday) and her other grand daughter one day a week (Wednesday).

I bought my daughter a lovely hat last year to go with a coat she had. The hat went missing at the end of last winter and I'd searched high and low for it it to no avail. Is asked MIL if she'd seen it and she swore blind she hadn't (I was pretty sure the last time she'd worn it was to her house). A few weeks ago I lamented to MIL that it was a shame id never found the hat as it would still have fit my DD this winter and she agreed.

Yesterday afternoon I'd taken a day off work and had gone into town with my DD only to run into my MIL and her other grand daughter...wearing the bloody hat!!!

AIBU to think that you just don't do that?!

A form of Japanese poetry. A haiku expresses a single feeling or impression and contains three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, respectively

Hilarious - love MN - what a wonderful turn this thread has taken

"Let's call a spade a spade. Usual is being targeted by posters who have their own agenda. Calling out and naming one particular poster over and over again, particularly when they haven't posted on the thread for some time is a cowardly and crap way of getting at someone."

Blistory - if you are referring to my post, I thought I had made it clear that, whilst I was using her as an example, the questions were aimed at any posters here who shared her view that it was OK to take something from one person without their permission, to give it to someone you felt was more deserving.

I was in no way intending to target usual, nor did I have an agenda.

I actually think it is pretty cowardly to make accusations about 'some posters' having an agenda against usual - why not be clear about who your comments are aimed at. That way, any posters who might have mentioned usual, but are not the target of their ire will not feel got-at.

All about a hat

It has been explained Bertrand I dont know which part of what the grandmother said you dont understand. Granny said she did it because ops dd has more than the other.

Oh, and it's actually quite normal in families for one member to say to another "John and Mary are finding things a bit tough at the moment". It's not disclosing private financial information- it's being a family

The granny said this as part of her excuse Bertrand. You need to add on there..." Oh, and it's actually quite normal in families for one member to say to another "John and Mary are finding things a bit tough at the moment so I decided to take the vests and warm socks of the richer children in the family and redistribute them to the poor ones, and hats."

Dierdre I feel sure a very grim Scandinavian short black and white film could be made. The hat tumbling across a deserted beach. A symbol of loss and heartache...

Halojones ..."I just cannot get my head around it I really can't. "

Ooh, unwitting hat-related Freudian slips, it gets better.

And the person who is going to miss out is the child, who has presumably been having a lovely time spending one day a week with granny

Oh yes a wonderful time, Granny rubs hands together hello darling now what are you wearing today, oh a scarf, lets see if we cant find a better home for that scarf dear , sweet Little old granny...

Dierdre grin I feel sure a very grim Scandinavian short black and white film could be made. The hat tumbling across a deserted beach. A symbol of loss and heartache...

Crying with laughter, but it sums up Mil threads doesn't it - all the wounded dils of the world - come to MN we will embrace and understand YE with all your various slights and sorrows .

"I feel sure a very grim Scandinavian short black and white film could be made. The hat tumbling across a deserted beach. A symbol of loss and heartache"

I'm not sure. I feel OP has already created a work of hat-related art...we must each imagine our own hat

All this about a hat?

Wowzers.

I live in Scotland. My daughter will be 5 in April coming and will go to school in August making her one of the oldest in her year.

Completely different to how it works in England.

@ Francis and don't forget The Wright show, he adores MN, he will have a call in on it .

"Has Edith Richards taken socialism too far, she has been found to be stealing from her rich GC to give to the poor one, what would you do, call in Let us know what you think"

Its a symbol of all the ills perpetrated against dils by Mils, the control, power, lying, gas lighting, favoring, secrets, and so on.

The Hat.

"Long tedious thread
Inspires poetry writing
Nobel prize beckons"

:)

"hatism" if you will elf

I'll eat my hat If that's not the headline.

Well, I read the whole thread and see it has descended into poetry.

OP, your mil is a fruitloop.

I am a bit sad that nobody noticed my "chapeauphilia" earlier. Although some people did credit "the Baldrick of arch manipulators" Some of my best work.....

Perhaps we are all The Hat

It's admirably tailored for the DM market and really, you couldn't make this shit up, could you?

Bertrand,Which page was it on?

Okay, I've been inspired. Am off to have a nose at Brora children's hats.
