WIBU to go and get nappies?

[StudentMummy20]

I had ran out this morning mum went to get some the other day but her size was out of stock, couldn't wait for mum to finish work at 9.30pm. What was I supposed to do? I have had some quite nasty messages from a friend about putting my 20month old daughter at risk.

I really am feeling like shit right now

Jealous she hasn't your full attention, and probably jealous of you generally too, the wagon!

@Jezebel101

YANBU- Your friend sounds like a nasty 'nutter.'

Why does your Mum wear nappies.?

@1forAll74 eh? She doesn't? My daughter does.

Honestly can't think of anything more essential than nappies,food and medication

@EKGEMS ditto

Seriously a true friend would offer to go buy the nappies for you so you didn’t have to take your child out. You’re well rid OP!

Spectacularly missing the point but Is your 20 month old still in size three nappies?

mentioning arranging her funeral because she is such a PitA that one of her "friends" is likely to murder her?

I would very definitely putting her last on any priority list.

I've been buying ds nappies on amazon after weeks of failing to get his size in the shops and the 2 pack limit i give up trying was to much hassle.

you call this person a friend shes no friend you need to get rid she sound nasty.

@zaffa yes, between 3 and 4 depending on the brand. She's on the second percentile.

Your friend is crazy btw - what is her alternative to buying nappies?!

She's a spiteful bully.

A friend would have gone to get them for you, if they were that worried. You can't leave a baby in a soiled nappy for 12 hours!

Why does she know that you went to the shops?

I didn’t know nappies were difficult to get hold of? If she were a real friend, she would have suggested she could look out for nappies when she shops. I take it she’s one of those perfect parents, who doesn’t have children.

@charlestonchaplin she video called as I was walking through the door!

@zaffa couldn't give me one, kept banging on about putting my daughter at risk and that she was disgusted, called me a little girl and said hadn't run out of nappies, it was an excuse.

I don't understand. You are allowed to go to the shop you know!

@stopfundinghate me either, she was so horrible. I was so baffled and kept trying to justify myself!

Wow, I am so sorry about your friend! She sounds extremely cruel - I cannot believe what she has said to you. Of course you need nappies, FFS! Honestly, if she's the kind to unblock you and carry on as if nothing has happened, please stand your ground and don't get close to her again. She's shown her true self - if someone shows you who they are, believe them.

I've drifted from a person I thought was a good friend over all of this - not the same but she was extremely dismissive of anything I've found hard during lockdown (I'm pregnant, my parents are vulnerable, my husband has been bereaved, my work has changed a lot - it's been tough!) by saying "but people are dying!" and tbh I've had it. I know people are dying, but that doesn't stop other people finding life hard or having challenges! Anyway my point is I do think it's at tough times like this that we find out who our real friends are. I'm trying to see that as a blessing!

That is unnecessarily cruel. We've only escaped a similar problem because we do cloth nappies- not as gross as it seems and quite easy

I'm so confused, in what was this bad? Of course your allowed to go and get nappies?

@ivfbabymomma1 I was confused too!

I have a 3.3 year old who wears a pull up for bed. They are still in size 3s and is also 2nd centile. I was amazed when my friend said her 14 month old was in size 4s. We get used to what we know!
