I am fully prepared to be told I BU
But I have to ask DH nephew is 25 his gf is 23
Both are lazy AF
They live with MIL & FIL
They have an 8 month old DS that came from a one night stand and nobody has questioned the child’s paternity not that it is important to me.
But these two are lazy
They stay in bed till midday Whilst MIL looks after baby they go for weekends away and such whilst baby is with MIL.

I just think that it’s wrong they never ever have their own child ever.

The baby’s mum is so lazy she sleeps in every day when I ask mil why she allows it, she simply says
“Because they are young”
Wtf
I was 17 and raising my twin DS alone in my own flat at that age!
Am I being horrible or am I right in thinking this is not great?

NeckPainChairSearch · 09/07/2019 21:45

why are you deleting it? It's hardly been any time

Shame. No time for a few more insults and vicious pile-on attacks aimed at the OP.

Whatever the OP's intentions/rectitude here, several posters have behaved really quite appallingly in response.

The thread is patently going nowhere.

BertrandRussell · 09/07/2019 21:50

They might be crap- but thank fuck the child has people who prioritise and love him

PrincessC0nsuela · 09/07/2019 21:53

@NeckPainChairSearch agreed

Rainonmyguitar · 09/07/2019 21:54

When I was lucky or unlucky enough to not be working with pre school aged children I often stayed in bed past11.00 am and the kids were just up later at night which gave them more time to see their Daddy when he came home from work. Did people think I was lazy?

So absolutely nothing like the story in the OP then? You and your DH looked after your own kids yeah?

RickOShay · 09/07/2019 21:54

I am SO on Ursula”s side.

PeggySuehadababy · 09/07/2019 21:54

Why do people even believe these sort of threads and waste their time to come and say "poor OP, so many nasties here"?

And it's always twins. Always.

RickOShay · 09/07/2019 21:54

Sorry Consuela

Why do people come to these threads to join a nasty little pile on? If you don't believe the OP, walk away.

shinynewapple · 09/07/2019 22:20

Agree OP. They are totally lazy and not taking responsibility for their child. On the one hand it's great that MIL is there to ensure the baby is properly cared for but OTOH they aren't going to learn for themselves whilst MIL is doing everything. On balance I think for the child's sake it's better they are cared for properly as long as MIL is happy.

This. ^ Surely the goady opening post, followed by the OP changing her story, then attacking other posters. and then disappearing, (and then MN coming on to say they are deleting the thread) should tell people something.

And it's always twins. Always.

I know. Funny that eh? Wink

I don't know who the small handful of posters acting all high and mighty think they are, telling people how to post, and that they're being nasty and all that guff.

And as I said, aim the 'stop being nasty' comments at the OP if anyone. Her posts are horrible.

Then again, it looks like she may NOT be coming back after all.

@NeckPainChairSearch

Why do people come to these threads to join a nasty little pile on? post their own valid opinions that they are entitled to...... ?

Corrected that for you. Wink

NeckPainChairSearch · 09/07/2019 22:29

Corrected that for you

Nope. And grow up.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 09/07/2019 22:31

Do HQ delete threads when OPs go quiet now? Confused

Or are they just not saying it’s a troll for some reason?

Itssosunny · 09/07/2019 22:36

I presume the OP has asked to delete the thread.

Rainonmyguitar · 09/07/2019 22:46

Corrected that for you

Oh god, I hate that^ wanky statement.

lifeinthedeep · 10/07/2019 01:07

What’s wrong with pp? Do you lot really think it’s ok to lie in bed everyday until 12pm while your mother looks after your own child- when you’re 25??

Age 23/25 isn’t considerably young to have children. Not so young that they are oblivious to what they’re doing. Presumably neither of them work?

Rachelover40 · 10/07/2019 19:13

I asked if they worked too. The op may come back later, I don't see this as a troll thread.

It isn't right for the couple to palm their child off on mother all the time but I don't see what the op can do about it.
