AIBU not to give a shit?

AIBU not to give a shit about some of the topics that some people in here think are the end of the world? Organic food, vegans....schools...just get on with your life and deal with these things. People spend too long being 'fuming' about stuff that really doesn't matter. As long as your kids are fed, watered and loved. Who gives a shit about darling Hugo being made to cry at school and do I go and speak to the head...no, teach him resilience at home! I got asked by a Y% parent at school this week..When are you going to teach them about stranger danger as 'Tarquin' ran off and spoke to a stranger the other day.....FFS love, we are paid mainly to educate your child...some of this is down to parents..and yes of course school had taught about stranger danger before you yummy mummy's start...oh AIBU to hate that sodding saying too!!

You sound like you do give a shit though?

hididdlyhoneighborino · 22/06/2018 14:24

Glad you're not my kids teacher with your shitty attitude and disregard for other peoples interests and feelings.

OverTheHedgeHammy · 22/06/2018 14:26

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? A lot of anger over things you 'don't care about'....

araiwa · 22/06/2018 14:27

Theres a lot of over dramatics on here and also competions to see who can be the most offended/ disgusted/ furious etc about some non event

Passmethecrisps · 22/06/2018 14:27

You needing your holiday OP?

chipsandgin · 22/06/2018 14:28

Well I'm glad you aren't my kids teacher because of your appalling lack of grammar skills!

Also 'not giving a shit' would imply a certain level of ambivalence about things which you clearly aren't demonstrating here.

outofmydepth45 · 22/06/2018 14:28

Agreed

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 22/06/2018 14:29

Agreed OP

chipsandgin · 22/06/2018 14:31

(but I do agree that parents should be doing the parenting - although not so much on the lack of shit giving about organic food, it would be nice if we stopped killing the bees and saved the planet etc...)

Fairtatas · 22/06/2018 14:36

Certainly some things others worry about I don’t ! I do wonder if you are a teacher at my child’s school. They didn’t give a shit about a 7 year old boy bed wetting, threatening to throw himself in front of cars on the school run or stab himself in the neck because he was so unhappy at school. I was sad enough to ask for some advice on here as sometimes you start to doubt your own judgement when confronted with “ don’t give a shitters”

TheStoic · 22/06/2018 14:36

What do you give a shit about, then? Must be something.

TheSausageEmperor · 22/06/2018 14:38
Hmm
AIBU not to give a shit?

MrsJayy · 22/06/2018 14:52

You come across fuming you are cleary raging 😁

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 22/06/2018 14:54

That is some rant OP. Wine for tonight.

MrsJayy · 22/06/2018 14:57

If i was as angry as you I would be looking for a new job teaching is making you intolerant.

FizzyGreenWater · 22/06/2018 14:59

Fuming, no way.

This dances across the boundary of fuming and right into FUMMING.

AmazingPostVoices · 22/06/2018 15:00

You are a teacher? Really?

cricketmum84 · 22/06/2018 15:00
