And staying over six nights a week, I may actually have moved in?

Oh Gloria, that is not the case - again highly amusing!

Well, it's not that 'amusing' or hilarious to tell blatant lies about the ages of your children. Your previous post also mentions 'working away' for a period of time, meaning that your niece had to come and 'help with the kids' (aged 20 and 22 Hmm. By working away, did you mean do the housework for your boyfriend???

Gosh

Chippednailvarnishing · 03/01/2017 21:10

Well there's 3 and a half minutes of my life I can't get back.

FatGreen · 03/01/2017 21:12

Wouldn't it have been more fun to pretend to be the BF of the Queen's physician and Drop Dark Hints about something you weren't supposed to overhear about black ties? Or a werewolf or something?

"I don't get the big deal about washing clothes on Mn. You shove them in then take them out "

Not really. You have to stay in while they're washing then it takes a while to take them out and put them in the clothes horse. In my case they dry inside so it can take 2 or 3 days for the thicker things. Then there's the ironing and then the putting away so I don't consider it a quick job.

MillionToOneChances · 03/01/2017 21:54

Leaving aside your age changing children, I wonder whether there might be a typo in your earlier post which might have caused some confusion:

'There has been no quantification of HOW much cooking and cleaning I do, it has been a presumption that it's masses and all of it - which is the case...'

Should it have been isn't the case? That's the only reason I can find for you to be insisting you never said you did loads of cooking and cleaning while we're all indignant on your behalf...?

OneWithTheForce · 03/01/2017 22:46

My mum always said if you tell the truth you don't need a good memory. Grin

Ellisandra · 03/01/2017 23:40

This one still rumbling on?
Thought OP would have run out of glue by now...

MommaGee · 04/01/2017 01:00

Age changing aside I'm confused by peoples horror at her doing washing at DP's house. I used to stay at my bf's of a weekend. I left clothes there as I didn't want to cart them back and forth. That meant they needed washing. To maleva load up I'd wash mine and enough of his to make a load up. He cooked cos he was better than me but I'd have quote happily cooked half the nights I slept over

kel12345 · 04/01/2017 01:28

It sounds like it. When I was living in a student flat, my flat mate had various issues and just quit uni and left. So o was essentially on my own. My at the time boyfriend came to stay for the weekend and literally never left. We hadn't discussed moving in together or anything, he literally just never went back home (he was living with his parents at the time). We'd only been together 4-5 months, and known each other for 6.
It was the best thing ever, and now we've been married nearly 2 years and have a 16 month old.

echt · 04/01/2017 12:09

It's what I said on page 4; the OP is having a laugh.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 04/01/2017 12:21

Jeez another thread with the OP complaining about their lot with their DP, posters agree, OP then comes on all defensive. Rinse and repeat - or bung it in the machine on a 30 degree wash...

Coralfish · 04/01/2017 12:51

This is hilarious! This is the situation I imagined: OP stays at DP's a lot. He has a lot of stuff to do on this particular day and realises he needs washing done which he has forgotten about. OP says, no problem, I will do it whilst you get on with X. OP has a moment of realisation as she loads the machine that they are pretty much living together.

Instead the thread develops along the lines that she is being taken advantage of and turned into a skivvy by evil DP with some unusual sexual fetishes thrown in for good measure. And the story just get weirder as thread progresses!

CommonSenseIsNotAllThatCommon · 04/01/2017 13:32

Ffs another fucking troll. Is it breeding season or something?

BorrowedHearts · 04/01/2017 13:57

Your post is confusing but not sure why the mention of a woman ho cleans up after herself at her boyfriends home means she is a slave 🙄

2rebecca · 04/01/2017 14:42

This thread makes no sense. If you are at his house surely he cooks some dinner for you as well as himself and he does some of your washing along with his.
Why are you so desperate to become his servant?
If he was staying at your house for a few days surely you'd be the one chucking some of his stuff in and not expect him to take charge of your washing machine, although I don't see why you don't just take it home and wash it and bring enough stuff if your kids live in your house.
Having 2 x chromosomes doesn't make you better at using washing machines and cooking.
It's his house, let him do his housework and cooking.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 04/01/2017 15:36

FFS I should just go to the end of the thread, fucking time wasting trolls!

BorrowedHearts · 04/01/2017 18:56

Real or not, in no way does she come across desperate to be his slave. Do some of you hear yourselves?? I'm guessing man haters..

2rebecca · 04/01/2017 19:57

I'm not a man hater but if I had my own place and was staying overnight at a man's house I would expect him to be doing my washing and cooking for me not vv.

MrsTerryPratchett · 04/01/2017 20:57

I'm guessing man haters..

Totally. Except for DH (who is an Adonis who also cleans), my DF (lovely man), DBro (sweetest person you'll every meet), all my male friends (funny, thoughtful, supportive and kind), Hugh Jackman (well, you know), the lovely man who held the lift for me today, the bloke who made DD laugh after her blood test. Fuck that's just today. I'm getting carpal tunnel...

I think there is a distinction between man-haters and arsehole haters. Oft muddled up. The OP was deliberately vague and misleading, designed to have people jump to conclusions. It was a wind-up.

ListenIda · 04/01/2017 21:07

I'm definitely a man-hater Spartacus and so is my wife. Hmm

Honestly, it's a while since I've heard that applied to any woman who is distinguishable from a doormat.

BorrowedHearts · 04/01/2017 21:16

That's what you expect, but seeing someone a while and getting comfortable to do things around the house you are staying in a lot isn't classed as wanting to be a slave, it's that term that I don't get. When I was staying with my friend often (not living) I would do my own washing and hers and so would she, I also used to cook for us or do shopping either with her or if I'm on my way up, I just see it as helping and if I'm eating there and sleeping there I see no reason not to pitch in, again if you are comfortable with the person.

MrsTerryPratchett · 04/01/2017 21:19

Borrowed it was deliberately misleading. It was. You can choose to be all wide-eyed and disingenuous but reread the OP's PPs and see.
