Mummy her pants are really really tiny

So last night after losing my scales in January and after an extremely stressful period studying & Uni tuition fee problems I finally found my scales and found myself at my heaviest ever in my life. I discovered my ex having an affair and we split up over 2.5 years ago and at the time I was in the process of losing weight healthily as I’m not a big person anyway and after the “divorce diet” I was at my thinnest since having my second 7 years ago. He split up from OW 6 months ago but has had a new girlfriend within a month who is nearer to my DD10’s age than his but seems lovely. And they like her so that is all that matters.

But recent events have led me to not look after myself and not exercise at all since September. But the stone I’ve put on is only since January. So I’ve had a pretty miserable night just wanting to stuff my face but I didn’t.

This morning DD6 is in my room getting dressed with me. Whilst watching me she turns around and says
“Mummy (New GF)’s pants are really really really tiny. And it goes in her bum but she doesn’t pull it out like I do. Mummy she just keeps it on like that and wears her jeans over. But they are so very very tiny.” With pure amazement in her eyes. Whilst I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry.

Now she’s never seen me wear tiny pants because even when I were slimmer after kids I tend to go for comfort more than anything.

But AIBU to want to finish a whole family pack of mini choc rolls from miserableness at that picture in my head.

To top it off I’m meeting Tiny Pants for the first time tomorrow. Please mumsnetters be there in person with me so that I can look at her instead of picturing her in very tiny pants.

Europeans and people who are swimming if you believe the stereotypes

So not only does the woman have her knickers up her rectum, but the best she can do is a bloke who screwed around while married and throws drama strops.

She deserves sympathy and pity. At least she is good with the kids.

ShiftyMcGifty · 27/02/2018 09:59

I’d tell her. She sounds like she’s actually quite considerate compared to their actual father and will probably be mortified, having not realised the implications.

I’d also tell her you noticed the girls try to immitate her style, which you think is really sweet. But... to keep that in mind and give you a heads up if she’s thinking of getting her hair dyed like a rainbow. Wink

ShiftyMcGifty · 27/02/2018 10:01

Oh and she’s doing that thing where she’s trying to impress him by being the Disney girlfriend. But you knew that Wink

I often try to build people up by dragging others down. If you drag yourself down or someone who isn’t aware of it what’s the problem? I give full permission for people to use me to make others feel better when I am not aware of it. Especially if it is due to my youth and good looks. You’re welcome.

Ickyockycocky · 27/02/2018 10:16

Dear god, the feel of that tiny piece of knicker up your bum

Ickyockycocky · 27/02/2018 10:17

And yes the wedgie 😂

MrsKoala · 27/02/2018 10:18

Tell her the 90s called and want their pants back!

I tried to wear a pair the other day to avoid a vpl and they were so uncomfortable, i don't how i wore them for a decade. Big pants and proud all the way now.

i forgot the emoji to indicate that was a joke btw. Of course don't say that - leave her to her knickers of choice and forget about it.

MrsKoala · 27/02/2018 10:21

OR - Make some joke about her having 2 pains in the arse in her life now and smile enigmatically Grin

Allthebestnamesareused · 27/02/2018 10:24

Ok I read it that DD sees the tiny pants because they show above her jeans rather than TP just runs around in her pants only.

PeppersTheCat · 27/02/2018 10:29

DSD is always reminding me that her mum has tiny knickers and why are mine so big. Le sigh.

PeppersTheCat · 27/02/2018 10:31

ShiftyMcGifty what's a Disney girlfriend? I Googled it but there are non definitions online.

PersianCatLady · 27/02/2018 10:32

I am wondering why your DD has seen this GF of less than a month in her pants.

prh47bridge · 27/02/2018 10:35

I am wondering why your DD has seen this GF of less than a month in her pants

I think OP means that her ex hooked up with new GF less than a month after breaking up with OW, so that means she is his GF of around 5-6 months.

PersianCatLady · 27/02/2018 10:42

Thanks, you are right.

I read that totally wrong.

I still think that it is a bit odd for the DD to see the GF in her pants, one month or six months.

FizzyGreenWater · 27/02/2018 10:48

After your last post -

  1. This new gf will not last. She will wise up and move on. In the meantime, keep those boundaries WELL in place. She's trying to play mummy, because she is young and she's with a complete twat and she thinks this will be a plus point for them/the relationship etc. It won't - the more she gets involved, the harder the fall will be for your children. Be nice, but be Mummy Tiger. She's presumably hardly out of teenagerhood herself, any attempt at parenting should be firmly squashed, as she will be No Good at it. Make it clear to your children that she is not an extra parent.
  1. No, it is not necessarily a win that he is seeing more of them now - he sounds like an absolutely appalling role model and a selfish, manipulative twat who clearly does not care a fig about them. So please keep more distance, so that when this relationship implodes you will NOT find this arsehole on your sofa again. Get him as far out of your lives as possible - or, years from now, it'll be your daughters being manipulated by him, as adults, in exactly the same way.
ShiftyMcGifty · 27/02/2018 10:55

Maybe should’ve said Disney Dad’s girlfriend. Except I think she’s trying to impress him as much as he’s trying to impress her. He’s pretending to be a Disney Dad for her benefit and she’s pretending how cool she is with his existing kids and his responsibilities and how she can just slide into all that to impress him.

StealthPolarBear · 27/02/2018 11:04

But surely we're all too uptight about nudity.

Ohyesiam · 27/02/2018 11:04

Put those tp thoughts aside op. And put the mini rolls further aside. You did well not to indulge, keep on that way.
You sound like a lovely mum.

wiccababe · 27/02/2018 11:06

Oh OP x why does she wear tiny pants? Because that's what we do in out teens/early twenties. Why don't you? Because our priorities and fashion sense change as we get a bit more grown up. Your lovely, frank, innocent DD commented on them because they were different, just as she probably says things like 'Mummy always puts raisins on my porridge' or 'Mummy's favourite jumper is red' to her. It's not a judgement, it's a statement of fact and an observation of difference. If she's nice to them that's the main thing, the nails etc are her attempt to connect with them in the only way she knows how - yes of course your boundaries should be stated and accepted, but I think she's trying to be good to them and maybe, once you meet her, you can suggest other things they like. Please don't let it make you sad....you are their Mummy and the yardstick by which all other women are judged at that age, not the other way round. She's probably quite nervous about meeting you x

I love a good thong and I'm in my forties. No vpl and I find rucked up material under clothes uncomfortable.
