Damnit I had mental images of stealth ninja chocolate stealing mode!!

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 21/02/2018 08:46

Well it was fairly stealth for an overweight 48 year old

Less ninja more hippo

I don't think I can watch ER again; I haven't stopped crying since they killed off Dr Greene the first time. That whole episode may just finish me off if I watch it again in my menopausal state! Still makes me think of that episode every time I hear Israel Kamakawiwo'ole Sad

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 09:38

Rufus I can relate...altho currently i'm landstuck whale so stealth ninja mode is YBF worthy 😂

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 21/02/2018 13:04

Bloody hell, there's someone on another thread getting a kicking for being a SAHM and she's got a six month old baby! She's been accused of only wanting her husband as a "meal ticket" and of wanting to "have her cake paid for and eat it too."

What the hell is happening to this place? Are we expected to fire our children straight out of our fanjos and into a nursery so we can get back to work immediately now??!

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 13:07

That doesn't give me much hope 😬

Chienrouge · 21/02/2018 13:10

What thread is that GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal? The one where the DH wants to move back to London?

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 21/02/2018 13:12

That's the one, @Chienrouge . TBF it's only a few posters but still - really? REALLY???

Chienrouge · 21/02/2018 13:13

I know, it’s insane. I knew she’d get a bit of a kicking because her husband is a high earner and she’s at home with a baby. She should be indulging his every whim as he pays her way, obviously.

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 13:17

Just had a look at page one...not reading any more 😬 MN seems to be such a hypocritical place!

SussexMedley · 21/02/2018 13:20

I don't agree with the kicking she's getting, but the issue is more complicated than simply being a SAHM. It's more about living in place A works well for her and nothing for him, and place B is great for him but nothing for her.

It's a question of whether he's a decent guy (we don't know), what his true motives are (we don't know), how much they care for each other (we don't know) and generally a whole load of things we don't know.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 21/02/2018 13:26

Putting all that aside Sussex, there are still posters accusing a mother of a six month old baby of wanting a meal ticket. Someone actually used those words.

Apparently in some posters world view we're parasitic gold diggers if we wait till our babies are weaned before getting back to work.

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 13:38

Can we start a club? I'll make badges

NataliaOsipova · 21/02/2018 13:39

Yes, a club! Can I join?

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 13:41

Yep! We need a catchy name for our trashy clan...

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/02/2018 13:43

I'll join the club. Will there be a subscription to pay? Just checking in case I have to arrange a payment from DH Grin

NataliaOsipova · 21/02/2018 13:45

The Slackers And Hookers Mob? SAHM for short....Grin

Fuckthisforsoldiers · 21/02/2018 13:57

I’m in. I’m planning on staying a sahm for some time now. A kept woman . Why? Because of the fact I’ve not slept for nearly a year, the scar on my bikini line being 2 dress sizes bigger, and the hideous crap (toys) that’s ruined my tasteful home. That bastard owes me big time for his child and I intend to make him pay ( opens new window to browse a clothing catalogue)

StealthPolarBear · 21/02/2018 14:02

A secret club for special people? :( this is just like moldies all over again

OP posts:
mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 14:04

Okay, so subscription is simply bring your own cake & wine to any meeting...this fits in with our lifestyles anyway right??

I love the name Natalia it is perfect! Shall we have tee shirts too???

Fuckthis i feel your mindset & i haven't even popped this one out yet. His dad is back after disappearing on us for three months & is grovelling big time - it doesn't make me any more of a bad person taking total advantage of his desire to make sure I am happy & comfortable whilst carrying his child right???

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 14:05

Stealth nothing secret about it I promise. The initiation process is your shin kicking 😆

Fuckthisforsoldiers · 21/02/2018 14:09

Mustbemad- you need to milk him for everything you can get. And the baby absolutely needs all designer clothes and if there’s a centreparcs nearby, the nhs guidelines state that at least 2 aqua sana spa weekends should be enjoyed within 12 weeks of delivery. Otherwise a long weekend in Venice will do. He’s likely to screw everything up though so it’s probably better you just take his credit card and get online and sort it yourself ( sighs as has to do everything!)

mustbemad17 · 21/02/2018 14:12

Whoop, care to lend your clothing catalogue? 😆
