(or mine or the kids). WIBU to say the tiger has eaten it all and go down the road to a cafe?

And the tiger gave no consideration for anyone with allergies.

Get those wellies on your daugther

Get on to Deliveroo. This is one aspect of the gig-economy I like, as it finances my DC1's social life!

YABU. You can't make a decision on your own! Nor with the help of Mumsnet ... you must put your hungry dc in the bath and wait for Daddy to come home. He's a man. He will have a sensible solution (which won't involve the dc going out for a meal in their nightclothes and wellies).

ClarkWGriswold · 25/05/2017 13:56

You need to get an extra large tin of tiger food in - just in case

SootSprite · 25/05/2017 14:00

We've been attacked by a caterpillar. Greedy little bastard has eaten everything! He's disappeared now though, so it'll be safe for when the Chinese takeaway delivers dinner later 😂

Bumpsadaisie · 25/05/2017 14:01

Are you really going to take her out in her nightie? You'll be judged you know. Make an effort!

NancyWake · 25/05/2017 14:06

Nighty and Wellington boots

tobee · 25/05/2017 14:06

I like daddy's clothes. He dresses like a real hep cat.

ExplodedCloud · 25/05/2017 14:06

You're going to be out awful late tonight if you want to go out under the cover of darkness for supper...

RhythmAndStealth · 25/05/2017 14:08

Fortunately Tigers hate pizza. So the only safe way to provide tea is get 🍕

Fink · 25/05/2017 14:08

Nighty and Wellington boots and coat. In 30° heat.

Maudlinmaud · 25/05/2017 14:10

I always add all mummy's wine just for the Craic. Why should daddy have beer and mummy not have any wine?

Dianneabbottsmathsteacher · 25/05/2017 14:13

Omg I used to add some too when reading to my dds maud

Tigers wife is livid too as she cooked and he's too full to eat it.

Tigernet told her to LTB

drspouse · 25/05/2017 14:16

If you are going to a cafe, don't let Daddy think it's his idea. He shouldn't think he's a white knight saving the day.

Oh and don't bother buying any tiger food. You were just a one-time stop off for the tiger.

Miniwookie · 25/05/2017 14:17

It's a shame it's not winter so that Daddy won't be able to raise his collar against the cold and take you along the dark streets where the cosy glow from the cafe window would look so inviting.

drspouse · 25/05/2017 14:20

AIBU to really, really want Sophie's tights? In my size?

Maudlinmaud · 25/05/2017 14:21

Have you read Walliams The slightly annoying elephant? Heavily influenced by Judith Kerr and that's OK imho.

restofthetimes · 25/05/2017 14:35

Right, we'll go out. I'm going to pop over the road to one of those nice looking shops too.

I bloody love that book! I always say, "mummy & daddy's beer", though I'm not sure that's better than leaving the line out entirely.

I love Sophie's tights too! And mummy's coat.

StaplesCorner · 25/05/2017 14:45

I never have anything for Daddy's tea as he is an entitled arse who can get his own fucking dinner. Bring on the tiger I say.

drspouse · 25/05/2017 14:46

Staples I suppose you could threaten that the tiger will eat Daddy if he doesn't make the tea?

weeblueberry · 25/05/2017 14:46

He's going to give you that side eye that says 'yeah whatever you lazy bugger' that daddy gives mummy in the book too you know...

StaplesCorner · 25/05/2017 14:47

I would pay to see that dr

StrangeLookingParasite · 25/05/2017 14:47

Ooh, not as bad as the time that pervert big cat came round ours. The tiger that came to teabag.

What about the boy from the grocer? On his little bike? That grocer needs more flexible delivery slots.
