AIBU?

To expect people to say 'I love you' back to DS when he says it, and not go eewwww....

SparklyGothKat · 15/03/2007 23:51

When Ds says that he loves us we always say 'I love you too' He is really loving and loves to know that people love him too. When Ds says it to BIl, BIL say 'Gay!!!!' and Dh's mate says 'ewwwwwwwww' It really annoys me, as DS is only 9 and he knows what gay means but telling his uncle that he love him doesn't make him gay, and I am getting more and more annoyed with it, everytime it happens. It will get to the stage when DS will stop saying it, and I will be and when that happens especially if its down to his uncle and Dh's mate.

hasnt he grown up yet (BIL not ds!)

JodieG1 · 15/03/2007 23:54

No you're not. The supposed adults need to grow up imo. Why would they say gay? Seems very childish.

SparklyGothKat · 15/03/2007 23:56

because DS say 'I love you XXXX' and BIL just replies 'Gay!' I have asked him to stop saying it to DS but it still happens.

No misdee he hasn't grown up, but what do you expect from a 31 year old married man, still living at home with his wife and mummy

tell him i'll kick him

JodieG1 · 15/03/2007 23:59

Can your dh speak to him and ask him to stop behaving like a child? I wouldn't accept behaviour like that from my 3 year old never mind a 30 year old.

misdee · 16/03/2007 00:00

would he rather your ds say 'i hate you xxxxxx'

god, he annoys me (again, your BIL not your ds.)

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:01

I have asked DH to tell him to stop it, but BIL is so childish and a pratt that nothing goes into his head and stays there.

There will be a time when DS will become a teenager and then he can just grunt at BIL and turn around and still say "I love you " to those that tell him likewise.

SparklyGothKat it is a shame. BIL is a knob!

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:03

lol misdee you better not be talking about my DS
Tonight one of the teenagers from down the road came down to see us, and Ds gave her a kiss and a cuddle before bed, and she said how sweet he is, and its lovely to get a cuddle from him.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 16/03/2007 00:05

D'ya think you could be childish back and say "Is there something you want to own up to BIL? Thou doth protest too much and all that"

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:06

we have said that!!!

actually always thought he was a bit gay, but then he got married

BIL needs to grow up your DS sounds lovely who can some people be so cruel to loving children - drives me mad. One day your DS may just shock everyone by telling BIL that he doesn't love him because he's no gay like him!

wotzsaname · 16/03/2007 00:07

a wedding makes no difference

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:08

but FFS Ds is 9!!!!! He doesn't even know about sex yet (well hasn't asked us about it, maybe has been told somethings at school) He doesn't need to be told he is gay just because he like to tell people that he cares about that he loves them

OP posts:

charlottegeorgiaolivermums · 16/03/2007 00:08

Elton John got married - JUST BLOODY GOOD COVER - doesn't mean his not GAY!!!!! May be wife owns some toys for him lol

charlottegeorgiaolivermums · 16/03/2007 00:10

sorry should say Elton's 1st marriage to a WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

misdee · 16/03/2007 00:11

lol today in the car dd2 said she wanted to marry dd3. i had to say that sisters cant get married, but when she is older she can marry another boy or girl. she has decided she will marry daniel from green group at school.

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:11

lol, thanks for making me feel better

I know a wedding makes no difference, in the 12 years me and DH have been together BIL has had one GF who he met about 3 years ago and married 2 years ago, so me and DH did wonder for 9 years

OP posts:

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:12

DD2 wants to marry her best girl friend.

OP posts:

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:15

BIL does say it a lot, I think he is scared to say he loves DS in case people think he IS gay!!!

OP posts:

charlottegeorgiaolivermums · 16/03/2007 00:16

my dd1 thinks that her half brother and half sister are getting married!!! Very worried - they haven't said anything to us

charlottegeorgiaolivermums · 16/03/2007 00:17

a man guy for saying he loves a 9 year old - now I am worried he needs to see someone

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:18

BIL doesn't like gays (or so he says ) I have many gay friends, even Dh's niece is bisexual, me thinks BIL is a closet gay......

OP posts:

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2007 00:20

misdee · 16/03/2007 00:21
