For being furious that dh's boss called him a "kiddy fiddler"?

dh came home from work yesterday, very upset, as his boss had been looking through some photos and said, "Look dh, you look like a kiddy fiddler in this one!" apparently she thought it was a huge joke.

as someone who actually has firsthand knowledge of "kiddy fiddlers" i find her comment very upsetting (although she doesn't know my history, obviously) - i don't really think it's something to be joked about, especially not in that context.

so i'm still feeling extremely upset and angry this morning, to the point where i want to email her and tell her what a stupid bitch she is - don't worry, i won't - but i also don't feel like it's any of my business really.

i've changed my name for this as i know she sometimes uses this site, and while i don't care if she knows who i am in RL i don't want her knowing my MN id.

  1. Your DH should have a calm, quiet word with her saying that he didn't find it funny and thinks it an inappropriate comment and then leave it at that.
  2. Assuming he also knows your history, your DH should never have mentioned this to you in the first place.

angry are you a SAHM?

cos if you are Xenia is going to be here in a minute saying that if your dh is so spineless he can't sort out his own office relationships you should go back to work yourself and let him stay at home with the kids

and I'm going to agree with her

does the poor sod know he's the subject of this debate? I don't think I'd tell him if I were you

omg how horrible. i would be very upset by this.... it was completely inappropiate...not unreasonable at all, imo.

sorry if it's been mentioned before, but I agree with soupdragon's 2nd point. If your dh knows how you feel and you have experience of this, I find it that he mentioned it to you.
Stupid boss, stupid comment, but he should have kept it to himself

dh once told me about a clerk in court who was awful to him and chased him down the road shouting at him (she thought he had stolen her parking space) then when he told her to calm down she said I'm pregnant you can't shout at me ??? I thought she was totally manipulative especially when she said you better hope you aren't in my court today. I thought about phoning her the next day and slating her for about ...... 2 seconds. I did however wind dh up that I was going to for about .... 2 weeks.

they are big boys, they have got to sort themselves out.
