Aibu when I was growing up my mum and I had a mental list of people to be wary of and stay well clear of I grew up and the list grew and now I'm finding im making a mental list for my son I feel bad but safety is paramount and I won't let my son leave my hip will he grow up resenting the lack of freedom or be glad I sheltered him...... has anyone else made a mental list with there kids my boy seems to be adding people to the list that he's not comfortable around so he gets the idea of it all by himself thanks Mumsnet (oh and no your a crappy mom comments ) cheers

Whut?

The heat is getting to me, clearly. That made no sense.

SmileEachDay · 19/06/2017 21:11

Errr....

Who is on the list?

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 19/06/2017 21:16

It's hard to read your post through lack of punctuation. I hope I've understood it properly.
Who are these people and why are you wary of them?

Rockspin · 19/06/2017 21:17

This list you speak of, is it a list of specific people or just types to be wary of? I am intrigued....

StillDrivingMeBonkers · 19/06/2017 21:21

I know what you mean OP, we were always told to keep away from the bloke at Number 123, never told why, but those were the days you did what you were told and didn't question your parents relentlessly - he had convictions for flashing little girls, and was caught with his pants down having a hand shandy in the middle of my NDNs back garden. My parents told when I was about 28!

TheAntiBoop · 19/06/2017 21:22

It depends on extent

I was brought up to be afraid of the world and now try really hard to let my kids grow up and grab it with both hands

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/06/2017 21:23

Can you elaborate?

PatriciaHolm · 19/06/2017 21:23

Depends on the contents of the list.

Haudyerwheesht · 19/06/2017 21:27

Do you mean specific people? BecAuse no I don't do that - I try to give them the skills to make judgements on their own because I'm not always going to be here

Haint · 19/06/2017 21:27

Joffrey Baratheon
Cersei Lannister
Ilyn Clegane
The Mountain
Walder Frey?

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 19/06/2017 21:28

Wtf? Confused Make more sense, OP.

Funko · 19/06/2017 21:30

Haint no no, that's the list of people to stick with a sword....

AnniesShop · 19/06/2017 21:31

Eyes too close together type of thing?

HeteronormativeHaybales · 19/06/2017 21:31

Um... how old is he?

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 19/06/2017 21:32

Funko , er... My feelings?

Lochan · 19/06/2017 21:37

I certainly didn't do this as a child and I don't do this as an adult.

missiondecision · 19/06/2017 21:43

Lists. Of people. To avoid. Like who for example?

Anniegetyourgun · 19/06/2017 21:46

XH used to tell me to stay away from beardy men and not allow them to hold my handbag. Heaven knows how I managed to commute to London and back unmolested before I met him.

TheAntiBoop · 19/06/2017 21:48

So we're clean shaven men allowed to hold your handbag? Or is handbag a euphemism?

barrygetamoveonplease · 19/06/2017 21:48

I told my dd to avoid Prince William. They're close in age and she's very lovely. He seems like a nice boy, but I didn't think the lifestyle was appropriate for my dd. I was glad when it transpired that Catherine Middleton had claimed him.

I also warned her to avoid a man who seemed too interested in little girls. That just seemed like common sense.

heateallthebuns · 19/06/2017 21:50

I don't have such a mental list. Do you mean specific people?

sparechange · 19/06/2017 21:51

I was told to never trust anyone with a combover
They are lying to themselves so they will lie to you...

VeryButchyRestingFace · 19/06/2017 21:51

I won't let my son leave my hip

You will when he's 18, weighs 12 stone and you're buckled with arthritis. Wink

Topseyt · 19/06/2017 22:01

Your OP made very little sense.

How old is DS? What sort of people are you making a mental note to avoid? How do you know that you are correct in your assessments? First impressions can be misleading you know, and sometimes you shouldn't judge a book by the cover etc.

rollonthesummer · 19/06/2017 22:02

You've lost me totally! Who is on this list?
