To go NC with FIL over glittergate (light hearted)

[JJPP123]

Yesterday FIL came iver to play with DS. He smuggled in glitter, 8 little pots of it, which he and DS seem to have thrown all around DS's bedroom. Apparently it was magic, except despite hoovering for what seems like hours on end it's now all over my house. All over me, all over DH, all over the children and everything we own.
I'm going out of my mind, will this ever end? AIBU to never allow FIL on the premises again?!

Glitter is the Devil's work. Banned in my house for years. Though finding a glittery poo in a nappy does make a mundane task a little less mundane!

Let me be a Debbie Downer for you all:

The baby has a rather glittery cheek, apparently boobs were not as glitter free as I'd thought.
been there it's better than picking baby's dried snot off your boob

I love the visual of a drive-by glitter-bomb on your parents in law.

I make what I laughingly call my living making birthday cakes. Everything I own is covered in glitter all the time.

Dh and sons had glitter on their faces for days after using the left over Tesco wrapping paper from last year...yes the one that had to be gaffer taped due to excess glitter that was all over social media. Would have thought they learned their lesson 12 months ago. Glitter makes me smile, especially when found on every member of my all male household!

No not member...

Ah, glitter with a play doh chaser

Could you not spread the ‘magic’ to FIL’s car (assuming he’s the one that cleans it)?
It’s shocking how often things tend to spill in cars...

I love the idea of fil and gs getting glittery sounds like they have a great relationship.
On a more serious note, imagine all that non biodegradable glitter in the ocean and food chain....
Ruins thread, slinks away....

I love it when my house is glittery! The thing with glitter is the more you hate it, the harder it tries to hang around. I'm sure it can tell that you don't like it.

Is no one else going to comment on the glittery penis? Just how glittery were those pjs???

I'm sorry but Notasperfect really needs to tell us more about this:

Dh had a penis to be proud of - all sparkly and shiney too!! 😂😂😂

My DD's watch youtube videos of Salem the Glitter cat

They love glitter - I am not as keen

Dd had a teachers who glittered everything absolutely everything. I used to vacuum it out of her book bag almost every day and get it off her clothes with sellotape. I can’t stand glitter. To get it out of the carpet you need to take the end off the vacuum and just use the tube without the wide head. And do every inch of the carpet. I would vacuum or tape the bed stuff prior to washing.

The car is an excellent idea. FIL bloody loves his car. Obviously will need to get DS to do it...

We're into day 3 here and although the obvious glitter patches are gone everything seems to be glittering. I found a speck in my tea earlier.

Just read the article. Putting the more serious stuff to one side..... who on earth glitter bombs their vagina?

^Dh had a penis to be proud of - all sparkly and shiney too!!
Like a light sabre in fact!!^

May the Foreskin be with you!

Heh. Still... only glitter isn't it?

Glitter is indeed the devil's dandruff.

If you know any kids that adore it, and you don't want to add to the vast amount of microplastics killing ocean life (it's a terrible irony that glitter would kill mermaids, if they existed!) there are non-awful alternatives:

If you google there's also a number of different eco-glitter companies online who sell different types.

I wear pj's for bed, numerous wee trips in the night - dh sleeps naked - cuddling me meant the glitter /sparkles from the pj's stuck to his penis!! Was hilarious!!
Wear them as lounge wear now and the ddogs are all sparkly instead!!
