To tell fIL that his DS is a wrong un?

84 replies

OverTheHammer · 02/07/2017 19:20

FIL thinks that his son (my DH) is a good un and the sun shines out of his arse but I know him to be a wrong un. FIL is always bragging about how good his son is because he works hard and does charity work which he does but he's awful to the bee lady and half of me thinks he only does the good stuff because he wants the attention? I mean he's currently begging people to vote for him for an award and gets arsey that bee lady and others get more recognition but surely if you do these things it's because you want to do good?? Not because you want an award?

I think the op had one too many ciders at her Sunday BBQ

Tell him he needs to up his game and get a costume.

He could be Earthworm Fella.

He has got a costume but I can't reveal it on here, far too identifying

Give us a clue.

Booboobooboo84 · 02/07/2017 19:35

Yes the whole point of charity is to give selflessly but if he feels he is giving a lot and not receiving any recognition then yeah I can understand him feelings a bit miffed. Tbh you sound a bit mean not supporting him. Why not tell him how proud you are then maybe he won't talk about the bee lady instead of starting shite with his family.

Guiltypleasures001 · 02/07/2017 19:35

Is it a penis, does he dress up as a dick?

happypoobum · 02/07/2017 19:36

Is he doing the T rex in Asda?

Tinseleverywhere · 02/07/2017 19:36

Haha this could make a good sitcom.

alpacasandwich · 02/07/2017 19:37

Your husband is a charity character in competition with a 93-year-old woman who likes to dress as a bee, and he is losing that competition?

Maybe his talent doesn't lie in this area OP.

IloveBanff · 02/07/2017 19:38

I want to know in what way he is awful to the bee lady, please, OP.

Megbert · 02/07/2017 19:38

The whole point of a selfless act is not wanting anything in return.

Even recognition.

OverTheHammer · 02/07/2017 19:40

He just slags her off all the time and says nasty things like she doesn't deserve her recognition. He's jealous because she's so worshipped. Fwiw I also like the Bee lady and he hates the fact that I do

Should I slag off my husband to his Dad?

Hmm...no.

But then I'm wasting my time taking this thread seriously aren't I?

Louiselouie0890 · 02/07/2017 19:42

You sound just as bonkers OP

hopefullygood · 02/07/2017 19:43

Loooooool

If he's mean the bee lady that's terrible! She looks so cute!

I am cracking up about this bee lady!!

PaulAnkaTheDog · 02/07/2017 19:43

Wtf? What is with this trend of obscurely worded threads from perfectly competent adults? Is it to build up the number of comments? It's a pain in the arse.

Want to rat your husband out? Rat him out.

Having issues with your husband being a 'wrong 'un'? Then post and people will offer advice.

People need to stop this attention seeking shit. It's the mumsnet equivalent of click bait.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 02/07/2017 19:44

Fucking hell, I'm still no wiser now I know what a bee lady is... Confused

CheesesOfNazereth · 02/07/2017 19:44

Does the bee lady know Sharon?

MrBobDobalina · 02/07/2017 19:45

Is this him OP?

I hate these threads.

"Aibu that I was in a car dealership and doing the polka and Jenny Whhyatt is such a bitch!"

PratStick · 02/07/2017 19:46

Also everyone knows you don't do the ironing on Tuesdays!

RubyGoat · 02/07/2017 19:47

I've always wondered... Sharon, wasp/bee & wine? I gather it's a classic thread but where? I've searched a few times but can I find it? Nope... does it still exist?

IloveBanff · 02/07/2017 19:48

"He just slags her off all the time and says nasty things like she doesn't deserve her recognition."

Does he do that in her hearing then? You said he's awful to the bee lady, but maybe you mean he's awful about the bee lady. Is your DH also raising money for Age UK or for a different charity?

DerelictWreck · 02/07/2017 19:49

Yey Sharon's back!! Grin

Triskaidekaphilia · 02/07/2017 19:49

I was kind of hoping that the bee lady would be unexplained and possibly related to the fly space/flight seat Grin
