So DarlingEx and I have a shared Bear called Bear. He's the sweetest Bear - drinks tea, reads the telegraph. I get him for holidays as he misses me terribly and it's important Darling Ex and I get together to discuss his progress.
Now there's some other woman on the scene who is trying to convince everyone Bear is in love with her girl bear when we've accepted for a long time now Bear is gay. We love him and just want him to be happy. Apparently he and girl bear have a baby called Kevin but he's clearly someone else's baby as Bear likes boys not girls.
Aibu to send Bear back with Wilbur, the big grizzly bear, to whom he has promised his future years? And to send zircon the baby to a charity shop as punishment towards girl Bear?

Don't panda to her. You're obviously polar opposites. It's going to get grizzly if you don't all talk about it.

You are my hero iklboo

HoridHenryrules · 09/12/2016 15:59

I would go for full custody of bear his daddy is not looking after him. Now he is a young bear dad. It's so sad😢

WHAT THE BLAZES???!!!

Sorry, MommaGee I can't pretend. I know you are just Poley's mum having a laugh. You should have changed your username, you nitwit!

Sorry some of the more humourless MN miseries gave you a hard time. I don't really know what they get out of commenting. Bah humbug to the haters!

I do find it rather funny that people (including MNHQ, it seems) find my situation so completely ludicrous that they think it must be made up. I knew it was pretty stupid when I was writing it, but I didn't think it was so completely outside the realms of most people's experience. I was actually genuinely rather upset about it. But, thanks to the wonder of MN, (almost) everything is resolved and I have had a good laugh in the process.

Thank you, MommaGee for making a TAAT of mine. It makes me feel like a celebrity! Grin

Bearproblems
I believe you.
We should all be able to give thanks for adults with imaginations like you and your DP for making the world a more entertaining and happy place.
No imagination = no films, TV, games......
All those saying this is ridiculous, do they never get lost in a book?!

Also I think you pair are normal, it's the ex (and the joyless mners) who are odd

""Sorry some of the more humourless MN miseries gave you a hard time. I don't really know what they get out of commenting. ""

I didn't comment, but it's an ethical issue as to what threads can have the piss taken out of them and what can't. Who decides this? It took a while for MN to take anti-disability and ageism reports seriously.

Some of the stuff that I see daily, bus/Tesco fights, neighbors that would have be terrorised out of your house, if you reported their behaviour to the Police, aren't believed to be real. It could put people off posting.

BearProblems · 09/12/2016 17:11

*I'm just luring Phyllis with Poley so I got all your bears."
Ah, it all falls into place... Devilishly clever.
So, what have you done with Kevin, you monster?

Birds - I think we can all agree that MommaGee is on fairly safe ground taking the piss out of a bear custody battle.

And I did wait until Bear dealt with the more pressing Issue of talking to her DP and him agreeing with the ex needs sorting. Plus I made a call on Bears sense of humour.

I don't think prissy prior posters are protecting the sanctity of Bears post

I bear-y disappointed in all of you. I can hardly bear the disappointment that you aren't taking OP seriously.

HoopsandEverything · 09/12/2016 22:08

I thought the Bear in the original was a dog. Like an actual dog.

BearProblems · 09/12/2016 22:50

Yes, Farmmummy, that's the most important question. Why DID the PJs get washed? At the time, DP suggested it could be because Bear got the ex's cat's hair on him. But was that the real reason? We will never know... Best not to know, I think. DP and I may not be able to cope with the truth.

Farmmummy · 09/12/2016 22:52

Good point BearProblems, best let sleeping bears dogs lie!

Ststratters not everyone can cope with silliness and fun unless it's done in a boring non fun way apparently

BearProblems · 09/12/2016 23:01

StStratters Yes, it's unbelievable! And the funniest thing about it is that these are exactly the sort of people who are saying to me and Momma "Don't you have anything better to do with your time?" Ha!!
