Nc for this as I'm actually quite embarrassed.

The daily mail are a bunch of dingleberries.

Anyway...got a bit carried away playing in the garden with my 2 year old today and decided to literally gallop like a horse, whilst enthusiastically shouting "nayyyy""nayyyyy". Toddler is loving my horse impression which only spurred me on further to create an obstacle course for "horsey" me to complete.

I look up and my neighbour is in her upstairs window looking absolutely horrified and backed away slowly as our eyes met.

I can't ever cross paths with her again, can I?!

Brilliant.

My aunt used to do this for me when I was a toddler

I suggest your neighbour needs to unclench the

Last night I stood on my patio singing "who's my hunky doodle boy?" to my cat. I went on quite a while before I realised my neighbour and his mother were sitting on his patio, just behind my fence.

In the nicest possible way fuck your neighbour.
There is nothing more pure and joyful than acting like an idiot to entertain your child. Those are moments to cherish. Next time you see her ask if she has any polos Wink.

Sewrainbow · 25/06/2019 21:20

Hold your head high with dignity, you have nothing to be ashamed of! Wink

iliketogallop · 25/06/2019 21:22

Oh gawd, I'm forever talking absolute shite to my dogs in the garden. And at the yard, I talk nonsense to the horse, in various languages. Blush I'm pretty sure my neighbours think I'm off my rocker.

Gintonic · 25/06/2019 21:30

I was dancing in the kitchen when my local councillor came to my door to discuss a controversial planning issue. A few weeks later he came round canvassing and saw me dancing in the kitchen AGAIN. Blush

Brigante9 · 25/06/2019 21:31

I often ask the dog if he'd like to go and see the fish. He's fascinated by the frogs in the pond, too. When he's doing a long winded poo, I'll talk to him and ask if he's finished his old man poo yet. Oh God, I need to move, don't I? 🤣

PerfectPeony2 · 25/06/2019 21:32

I love this!!

I do a great horse impression too. You gotta own it. Grin

If it makes you feel any better I forgot to put my boob away after breastfeeding the other day and a random person walked past the house and looked straight into my living room at me.

ASauvignonADay · 25/06/2019 21:34

Love it 😂 I'd just pretend it hadn't happened

suziedoozy · 25/06/2019 21:34

I talk to my 3 month old all the time! Today I was asking her opinion on my supermarket shopping - people must think I’m crazy! I probably amGrin

PutOnYourDamnSocks · 25/06/2019 21:35

I once tried to put up a shed with tow bickering children in tow. So. Much. Rage. Didn't dare catch a neighbours eye for weeks.

Iwantacookie · 25/06/2019 21:45

I once had to send ds2 to ndn to retrieve my flip flop Blush

MadeForThis · 25/06/2019 21:45

The best part about having kids is being able to act like a kid.

If it was you and your DH in the garden then you would have something to be embarrassed about 😂

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 25/06/2019 21:51

DD1 likes to pretend I am a giant slug coming to eat (no, don't ask). The only way she will get into bed is if The Unkind Slug is chasing her.

Recently at nursery pick up she asked, "Mummy, when we go home can I have crackers? And then will you crawl around the floor on your belly and say blergh blergh I'm a nasty slimy slug to me? Like last night?"

Other parents + keyworker: wtf Hmm

MissClareRemembers · 25/06/2019 21:55

Awww if I was your neighbour I’d just gaze wistfully at you remember the days when my own DCs would actually want to spend time with me!

You sound like an awesome parent.

Waveysnail · 25/06/2019 21:58

I'd be laughing and then wave if I was your neighbour

akmum18 · 25/06/2019 22:00

Grin is there any chance your toddler was out of her view so it looked like you were doing it for your own entertainment Grin

My boob popped out as I reached over to sign for a parcel yesterday and the poor bloke got a lactating nipple inches from his hand... i think I’ll have to redirect my post to work forever Blush

YesQueen · 25/06/2019 22:02

My neighbours spend their life laughing at me
Falling out of a taxi in last nights clothes with no shoes at 10am Blush
Locking myself out and having to climb in the window Blush
Singing to the cat Blush

Omg brilliant. I hope I am this fun when DD is older. I may have to steal the giant slug game. 😂

RB68 · 25/06/2019 22:13

send her an invite to come and play horsies - I dare you

TheBabyAteMyBrain · 25/06/2019 22:20

I spent this morning sat in a paddling pool in the rain, under an umbrella with my toddler who refuses to believe they are more fun in the warm dry weather...but my neighbours already think we are fucking nuts eccentric and just wave as they head off to work laughing.

Sundancer77 · 25/06/2019 22:21

When I first moved in our house 7 years ago, I was standing in my bathroom, peeping out of the window onto the garden patio below at my new neighbours..I was having a good old nosey at them all when they looked up and I ducked away 🙈
We haven’t spoken since 😬 (tbf, not due to that..she’s just kind of a bitch)
