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)

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/03/2021 22:37

Also NC

I am a regular, penis beaker, Korean lady, cancel the cheque etc.

You need to stop hoiking your judgy pants op.

Onlinedilema · 14/03/2021 22:40

You cannot use Quintin Rupert both names are real names Op and somebody in the world has used those names so they are now common. So so common. You must chose a name that is unique. It must also be a name which no other person has ever called their child. Thing about the children!!!! How will it feel if one day someone tells them that another person was once called Quintin?!!!!

I haven't read the full thread, but could it be early onset dementia?

AgnesNaismith · 14/03/2021 22:42

I’m fumin hun

MistressoftheDarkSide · 14/03/2021 22:42

Have RTFT.

You do realise it's not all about you.

You should give your head a wobble and donate that kidney to a more deserving case.

SnottyLottie · 14/03/2021 22:44

You sound very entitled

Baggingarea · 14/03/2021 22:44

God what a curtain twitcher you are, OP.

So what if your neighbours are pelting your house with mortar bombs and faeces?

Get a hobby. Also definitely infer from this post that I have a glittering social life despite there being a global pandemic and I'm definitely not sat in my PJs watching cash in the attic.

Gemma2019 · 14/03/2021 22:51

I showed your OP to my hubby and he said you need to turn the knob anti clockwise, not clockwise

MotherOfDragons27 · 14/03/2021 22:52

Cancel the cheque.

AlexanderArnold · 14/03/2021 22:52

It's people like you that mean this is going to go on forever, op. I mean, naming a baby in the middle of a global pandemic? Hubby and I just got off a zoom with his best mate who's a high up respiratory consultant, and he agreed this isn't going anywhere, sorry

OverTheRubicon · 14/03/2021 22:55

Give your head a wobble, get your ducks in a row, you need a shit hot lawyer (who, despite being in high demand, will quickly give you a free 30 minute consultation that will basically sort out all you need).

Griselda1 · 14/03/2021 22:55

A quick divorce is needed and then get help with your dyslexic, dyspraxic ,adhd child. Contact the police just because you can and phone social services asap.

Bumpsadaisie · 14/03/2021 22:58

I just can't have any sympathy for a woman who martyrs herself by accepting shitty behaviour like this on Mother's Day.

Take the kids, dump them on his lap, go to Tesco get yourself a tin of gin and tonic and enjoy your day!

Bumpsadaisie · 14/03/2021 22:59

And your parents do not owe you childcare. Period.

Scuba diver here! Have you considered you may have the bends and be hallucinating all of this? Call 111.

Did you mean to be so rude? > head tilt, tinkly laugh

Nith · 14/03/2021 23:01

YAVBU even to consider going to A&E unless your head is hanging off. Think of the NHS, woman!

babbaloushka · 14/03/2021 23:02

It's none of your business, stay out.

RocketHog · 14/03/2021 23:04

OMG OP! That's not a hedge it's a weed farm! I can't believe you don't recognise a pot plant when you see one! Is that how you earn your £100,000 pa each?

It's obvious from your post that every person involved is stoned. Except your DS of course, stoners don't tend to be boisterous livewires.

It's also clear that the car parking in the same spot every day is the drugs squad getting evidence to bust your ass.

Call 101 right now and turn yourself in.

babbaloushka · 14/03/2021 23:04

Can't say because its outing but DH knows someone who is close to the PM and he says it's going to be firebombs.
