What is your view on this situation

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed95]

Before Christmas me and my children's dad had discussed buying them an outdoor climbing frame with swing slide etc for the summer. MIL was there at the time and said the kids would love it. About a month later SIL gets one for her kids (my kids hadn't at this point) not an issue the kids go to each others houses to play so they can play on each others once we had one. I found one and me DC Dad brought it, put it all together and that weekend my daughter was due to stay with MIL. I dropped her off and she had asked what we had been up to that day. I said we had been putting together the kids outdoor thing, had a 10 minute chat then I left. I had only pulled away from her house 90 seconds at the most when I had a text message on my phone reading 'she's gone now, don't forget the rice your not going to be happy when you get here' this message was obviously intended for the SIL who lives next door to MIL.

I immediatley was angry because my initial thought was she is going to now be talking about me for buying my kids something similar but in no means the EXACT same.
I sent a message that it was out of order and that I won't let my kids be apart of a family like them, then blocked MIL and SIL number.
Aibu to of cut contact now with them both for me and my kids regardless of what there dad says.
Sorry if it don't make sense lol

What in the name of all that is holy is going on here??

Curry sauce is a bastard to get out of anything, she'll see that on her floor for years.

T- rexing; Do you remember the T-rex in Toy Story? How he stood and kind of flapped his little arms about? I think that's T-rexing?

I dont think the OP is coming back, somehow...

I am just sorry that someone got to make the t-rexing in Asda joke before me.

Can someone translate this into English please?

I didn't read any further than the first first posts, however, if I have worked it out correctly then it sounds a massive overreaction?

Another who is just as confused with the update as I was initially. Also, I take it with ex coming over to yours and SIL going around to MIL’s etc this all occurred some time ago?

Eh?? Ugh my head hurts...

Have you had a few drinks.

Well I think you were probably right. However, did it really matter? Let them bitch about climbing frames if they want to, is it any skin off your nose?

Not sure if you overreacted or not but "she's gone now"-yeah, sounds as if they would be bitching about you.

Utterly baffled

I’m I readi iSight youbeen annoyed since January? Ffs

MIL got busted slagging off OP behind her back for having the effrontery to ''copycat'' the SIL with regard to garden toys, even though she had already spoken of doing a slide etc four months prior.
Having got caught out she then makes up some shit about spilling the curry (why would SIL be unhappy if it's not her floor? why would she care if there was still lots left? why would she still be told to get rice?)
Unless there is another story OP regarding one upmanship, she goes to Teneriffe, you go to Eleveneriffe or you are a bunnyboiler single white female SIL who copies everything she does then no, YANBU.

I didn't know climbing frames were allocated one per extended family

I have never understood what is supposed to be funny about this "hilarious" spoof posts.

This lockdown has nearly everyone agitated and being unreasonable that or pissed because the only way is to drink wine.

Aside from relaying this way after the event or not social distancing. If this took place any time recently y'all VVU
If it was aeons ago, why are you posting now - has social isolation made you reassess going nc and what was their dad's reaction?

Why would someone be unhappy about another family getting a swing set for their kids, even if it was identical to the one you'd just bought? We installed a wooden one and a few people asked about it and subsequently got one for their kids. I can't think of anything I'd care less about.

Grow up...?

You been swinging on that climbing frame a bit too much OP?

You've no idea how to tell a story have you?

Assuming this actually happened and what you've written here is true, then I'd say "you've no idea how to tell a story have you?"

What if a spider licks the climbing frame while it's in the garden?

It's going to get darked on too.

How did you pay for it? I'd cancel the cheque.

Now that I think about it, this would make a good Wes Anderson film.

Fucking hell, you were going to deprive your children of the paternal side of their family because you're paranoid! You need help.

I feel sorry for OP. Yes, the MIL and SIL were no doubt planning a bitch fest about you for buying your kids a climbing frame. They are tin pot people with no lives but they will win this argument due to your response, will act all doe eyed and bewildered about it and maintain their stance so that you look unhinged.
