Hi All,

NC in case outing.

In my opinion it was completely reasonable. Everyone I know thought so apart from a few people who didn't but they are mistaken for various reasons I can't get into at the moment (outing). One of these people was person A who is the SIL of my BIL's friend person B (legitimate breeder, no puppy farms), and it wasn't the first time that this had happened to person C, unrelated. Maybe I should just LTB.

I felt that the exclusion was about a personality clash and the teacher has got it in for DS. He is a sweet boy despite being boistrous and a bit of a livewire (NT, but diagnoses welcome). But to be clear they have been parking there every single day at drop off. Engines running. And it's not ever their hedge.

If you think IABU I can add in a few more posts later about my MIL, finances, and a diagram done with a biro that nearly doesn't work.

For clarity we earn £100,000 each and can afford it.

AIBU?
(Only YANBU answers please)

SiL is a CF. She should have paid you for all that childcare. But where do you get off being entitled? MiL has every right to leave SiL everything despite your husband selling your family home to pay her gambling debts.

@mnhq shouldn't you be taking this down while you look behind the scenes?

MrsBobDylan · 14/03/2021 20:06

I can't believe we are this far in and no one has suggested a rescue dog?

I suspect hairy hands.

TheOrchidKiller · 14/03/2021 20:08

I don't mean to derail the thread but in response to the OP's question, yes.

Though YABU not to put lighthearted in the title. Someone could read this thread & have a nasty accident.

This should go in Classics.

@Grendalsmum

Get your donkeys in a row and leave the Biscuit Red flags all over the hedge. Are you reversed?

I think we’ve all lost sight of what a bigger person actually looks like.

I suspect the teacher is autistic and there’s a chance neither of your DTs will get into a selective secondary. You should complain. I suggest:

“Dear Sir/Modom

My most grandiloquent objections to yourself and I have summoned You and Yours to this incident.”

I suggest taking four solicitors to a spa for half an hour.

Grey rock the lot of 'em.

MrsBobDylan · 14/03/2021 20:28

Op I have 10 dc with SEN and a high needs baby on the way. All of them behave because I tell them too.

And they never use a screen in a restaurant and only speak when spoken to.

Get your ducks in a row

Someone's overindulged in the mythical mumsnet chicken. 🐔

MrsBobDylan · 14/03/2021 20:30

On a serious note, I am going to start using "are you reversed" in RL. It's still making me laugh.

MsIreneWinters · 14/03/2021 20:31

I've composed an email for you OP which you should send immediately as I'm inexplicably overinvested

If it's been out of the fridge for more than 15 minutes you should definitely throw it away.

Dailyhandtowelwash · 14/03/2021 20:43

I hope no one has sat on your hedge in their outdoor clothes, OP?

Rachie1973 · 14/03/2021 20:52

Here’s a grip OP! Use it

Midwife here. ^^ This. With knobs on.
TheOrchidKiller · 14/03/2021 21:01

Does the houseplant want to be watered? I've trained my houseplants to self-water themselves. You're making a rod for your own back & you need to nip it in the bud.

Personally, I get all my donkeys to write their thank you letters before they've even had their presents.

Although presents are grabby & not for anyone over the age of 6 months.

Mini Cheddar here. Yes.

OP, you’re eating way too many carbs. Sugar snap peas are basically maltesers.

Gemma2019 · 14/03/2021 21:24

You don't have a donkey problem, OP, you clearly have a MIL problem.

Also your "D"H sounds depressed, a bit autistic and a bit OCD.

KarmaStar · 14/03/2021 21:27

Am I the only one who does not understand your post at all?
