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)

OP, diagram or it didn't happen....

I insist you call the police right now. If another donkey gets fed salt and vinegar crisps in future because you didn't, you are responsible for that!

@Whatisthisfuckery

I can prove that each and every PP on this thread is wrong because my personal experience has been different, and you can’t argue with my lived experience. What is more I demand that you validate my feelings about any and all issues without question, because any other response is not being kind, and being kind is more important than anything, even the truth, science, the law, the fact that gravity exists, the earth is some kind of sphere and everything else.

I’m deeply offended that some of you are rolling your eyes as you read this post, and I’m even more offended that some MNers won’t even bother to read it, probably because they’re bigots who can’t accept any sort of difference whatsoever. Now I’m going to flounce as I’m feeling utterly erased and like you literally want me dead. You need to educate yourselves and do better.

Hi Meghan! Is Harry back in the chicken coop?

How unlike the home life of our own dear Queen.

But where is the yurt in all of this?

Waiting for the drip feed that they lied when they applied for planning permission and claimed they were building a field hospital now they're hiring it out for glamping it's come back to bite them on the ass. Although that might have been the donkey because he's pissed off with telling them he prefers prawn cocktail crisps.

Gavel?

I’ve only just found out fish knives are non U and now I have to source a gavel?

OP we need to know if OFSTED/111/101/999/Social Services/Neighbourhood Watch have got back to you yet?

ElizaDelphine · 16/03/2021 11:56

Caravans are very chavvy you know. I'm going to be staying in a shepherd's hut this year. They are the same thing not the same at all. I'm going to be eating Hotel chocolat in my shepherd's hut. Not Thorntons from Tesco like those caravan dweller sorts.

FoonySpucker · 16/03/2021 14:27

What's the difference between a shepherd's hut and a caravan?

Does one have mashed potato on the roof?

I accidentally put Zoflora in my boyfriends bedside beaker, should I dial 101 and get it logged?

It depends if he dangled his willy in it after coitus.

myBumJuiceSmellsLikeRoses · 16/03/2021 14:44

Not RTFT.

Cancel the cheque.
And ring 101, 111 and 999.

BonnieDundee · 16/03/2021 14:56

What? The donkey prefers prawn cocktail crisps and you give him salt and vinegar? YABVVVVVU and selfish

FoonySpucker · 16/03/2021 15:39

What colour was the crisp packet?

confused14453 · 16/03/2021 15:41

If there’s any cat pop involved then I think you should just cut your losses, sell your house and move to Jupiter.

I mean poo obviously

I hope you put this on your Instagram stories first.

^This.

OP I could have written your post 47 and a half minutes ago.
When a hedge shows you what it is, believe it. You've been given lots of good advice above.

Some of the replies on this thread are horrible.

HerculesMulligann · 16/03/2021 16:04

And the other.

Get your ducks in a row OP.
Give all of the ducks names from outside the top 100. Do not put his name on their birth certificates.
Spray half the ducks with zoflora and go NC with the others.
Try co-sleeping and serve with an absolutely huge green salad.

ThePants999 · 16/03/2021 16:19

YABU because you didn't reference three classic threads to prove you're a regular after your namechange.

No dont put them in a row. If there in a row it's too obvious to the next door neighbours sisters dog. Definelty put them in a circle.

Whatever the case, I think it's important for me to let everyone know that MY engagement ring cost 20p from a gumball machine, and OUR wedding was done on such a tight shoestring that we actually paid negative money and turned a profit. DD made the flower arrangements out of discarded kleenex, and we recycled the leftover cake icing to polish my halo!

Wow! Are you usually so extravagant?
