To be annoyed by this comment

[HNY2021]

OH ‘they are using X as a vaccine centre’
Me ‘oh DS foresaw that happening’
OH ‘he didn’t foresee that, X was used as a testing centre it’s pretty obvious, it’s like saying Christmas Day will be ok the 25th of December this year’

For context DS is 9

Also what would have been your response to that.

I think your DH doesn't understand that most 9yo would not be paying the slightest bit of attention to this kind of thing, and your DH should appreciate your DS more.

Only on MN would anyone be annoyed enough about this exchange that they have to make a thread about it.

You’re annoyed because your DH doesn’t agree that your 9 year old “foresaw” the use of a testing centre as a vaccinating centre?

Do you think you’re raising Mystic Meg?

It’s fine. My reaction would be nothing.

He just thought it would happen, he didn't foresee it. He doesn't have 'the sight' 😄

Wouldn't bat an eyelid.

What? Are you trying to tell your OH that ds is psychic?

There would be no response, nothing noteworthy happened

Seriously?

Foresaw is an odd word to use but my response would be - yes, I know that too but not bad for a 9yo is it?

Foresee means be aware of before hand, I was not suggesting he has physic powers, and as @TeenPlusTwenties says not something a 9 year old would necessarily pick up on.

It resulted in a massive argument so that is why I’ve posted it.

It's a non event. I wouldn't remember the exchange 30 mins after it happened. Yabu

He wasn't aware of it though, that's the point. He just guessed.

Why has this irritated you?

How on earth did that turn into a massive argument??

*psychic

So it looks like my using the word foresee is an issue then?

Sorry but over 1800 people died yesterday so you’re doing well if this is all you have to worry about

He’s not your child’s father and it felt like he was putting your child down?

Well yes, he thought it might happen. He assumed it might happen. He guessed it might happen.

He didn’t have THE VISION

@SendHelp30 obviously my relationship issues do not compare with that, so no one should comment on this site unless they have been effected by that then?

I assume he's not the dad? And that there is history of you feeling he doesn't value your son? Maybe is jealous of him? If that's the case, the issue isn't really the exchange you outlined, which would be fairly innocuous unless there are other factors to do with their relationship at play.

I’m not sure about this. Op does he have a history of belittiling or putting down your son? Is there a back story here?

@HNY2021 it’s just such a non issue, I genuinely cannot see how this resulted in an argument? I don’t even think I’d of remembered it?

I would imagine there is a huge back storey here.

I find his response incredibly nit picky and I was then accused of arguing because I replied that it’s not the same as knowing Christmas will be coming on that date because this has never happened before and he’s 9.

Surely I should be able to say this throwaway comment without it being scrutinised for maybe using a slightly incorrect word.
