Omg some of these comments are so funny to read in all their sour and rude content. Wow I knew Mumsnet can be ruthless but some people just come on here to offload from their miserable existence. If venting makes you feel good about your own lives then your in dire need of help on a daily basis, so I’m glad I could have been of service for you today!!
For those that criticised my parenting, or even for me being a parent, wow that’s below the belt and a lowlife would only go as far as that when you don’t know a person on a personal level. Who died and made you God?? You must be so disappointed and disheartened with your own parenting skills, this must be the only Ray of hope you get in life, to be able to put the entire attributes of a parent down from one single post, and finally feel like your not such a disgrace to your own DC after all!!!
Thank you for all the polite comments, I’m all for constructive criticism. I certainly see the strength in the opposition views and will most definitely take things on board here. These opinions were more of what I was expecting, some well mannered criticism that helps me see and learn from it, and I’m a firm believer in ‘You live and learn everyday’.
Thank you for those that agreed with me, it made the sad and angry venting keyboard warriors easier to bear. I suppose my thinking has been somewhat hindered with blindsided experience of only going for venues and knowing how it sets them back quite abit to ensure their DC have their once a year celebration!
Dear lord you would think I commit an act of terrorism!!
Made me laugh when I read out Tringleys, 80 - 100 people?? Glad you could use my post to BOAST about your expensive and event of the year function. Must have etched your pathetic ego up a couple of notches.
Some comments made no sense, calling me out for giving cheap presents £5-£10 for a house party and then saying that’s their set budget overall for present giving too. Does it matter that the budget was less than a venue present to YOU?? When the budget I use is deemed more than appropriate for yourselves??
Yes I agree some people pull out the stops for house parties and spend a lot. However I have little if any experience of that as I have always opted for venues for my DC, so for the love of Christ my present budgeting has been based on an assumption!! Although I see where I may be bias in my opinion. Anyways amazes me this has created such a huge ruckus over my personal budgeting. So really its between £5-£10 difference. God you would think from the comments I give a Poundland present to house party kids. However I do get what many have based on it being the parents personal preference or affordability and to just keep it at an equal balance which I now feel is the way forward for me.
For all those that had no choice but to use abusive language. Sorry to hear your lives are a mess and you cannot restrain yourselves. I hope it makes it more bearable for you to continue with your existence stress free for a day now that you have had your little rants!!!
Once again thank you on the most part for taking the time out to comment. I don’t regret posting, and just as equally I will not apologise for being patronising and abrupt in response to those that have made no difference to me at all today, I am generally very tolerant but some people need to know where their place is, if you had nothing well mannered or politely constructive to say then quite simply FO!! you have no right to slander anyone for posting a thread, no one in this world is perfect, and if putting someone else down makes you feel perfect for a little while then quite frankly you should pity yourselves, if that’s outlining your manners and the way you respond or that’s how you react to something as simple as this then you must be highly despised within the circles you move in.
I know Mumsnet is where all the muppets come running and one can’t expect to post on here and not attract ‘their’ attention, although even I was not expecting this thread to get as crazy and manic as it did.
