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)

Why has everyone assumed I'm a man? We have equal custody of the hedge. I'm non-binary.

Do you think they could have Alzheimer’s?

YADBU.

You forgot to mention the evil carcinogenic woodburner stove you light up once every 3 months. Thought you'd just leave out that important detail, didn't you. Total CFery.

Oh and aren't you a disgusting minger to only wash your X once very Y-many [time unit]. You shouldn't be allowed out in public -- but then what did we expect from someone who hasn't covid-tested themselves daily since May 2020. Selfish twats everywhere, I guess.

Wink *Ruddy hell that isn't actually fun to say. I don't actually enjoy expressing evil intolerance, thank goodness!

YANBU it's why we have an obesity crisis.

BonnieDundee · 14/03/2021 15:35

@1Morewineplease why has the donkey got a packet of salt and vinegar crisps? Dont you know that is very bad for donkeys and tantamount to animal abuse? I do like your diagram pity it isnt in colour

BritWifeinUSA · 14/03/2021 15:35

Did you mean to be so rude?

FoonySpucker · 14/03/2021 15:35

What did they say when you asked them about it?

Sit them down and ask them calmly and gently what they thought they were doing then snuggle up with a hot choc.

Please ask MN to put a trigger warning on your thread title.

StormzyinaTCup · 14/03/2021 15:35

I see Countrygirl got there first, therefore its clearly the answer to all your issues.
Alternatively, you could move into your car or maybe take up a popular hobby but not disclose it to anyone here just in case it's 'outing'.

@LAgeDeRaisin

I know the RF personally and I believe them

Was with you until this OP Confused

Why do people come on here and do this? I bet you're a remainer who voted leave Hmm

As for your vinegar crisps ... Envy

ravenmum · 14/03/2021 15:41

Does your BIL's name start with a K btw as if so, you probably need to delete the thread.

Florelei · 14/03/2021 15:42

They’re all snakes hun.

1Morewineplease · 14/03/2021 15:42

@BonnieDundee
I'm sick to death of people getting lockdown donkeys and not doing any research into their hip scores , eye scores, mane scores or football scores. Any certified Donkey Club breeder will tell you that salt and vinegar crisps are essential for all of their scores, particularly if they are playing away!
Oh, and you say you wanted colour? COLOUR!!! 🙄

Wingingitsince2018 · 14/03/2021 15:42

How big is that yurt and how close to the boundary? Have you applied for planning permission and does it have a proper dropped kerb for access or is it on a glorified patio?

RightYesButNo · 14/03/2021 15:43

I’d go NC with the lot of them. Especially your kids.

This. Can’t believe someone hadn’t already said it, when it’s so bleeding obvious!

But I’m sure we’ll get some song and dance about how OP can’t, because everything - the hedge, the MIL, the knobhead parkers, the chicken that lasted for eight meals, her DH who only very rarely ever uses a penis beaker, her BIL’s friend’s wife who is banned from the Sistine Chapel for some reason, and the DCs who OP accidentally spilled water on so they’ve turned into lockdown gremlins - is conspiring against her.

Mmm, right. Pull the other one; it’s got bells on it.

All I want is the teacher to write DS a poem of apology and read it out in front of the class.
They are supposed to be the adults here.

Where did they put the budgie?

Gemma2019 · 14/03/2021 15:55

This is so familiar - you've posted the exact same thing loads of times before and received plenty of good advice already. Stop being such a stalker.

Sparklingbrook · 14/03/2021 15:56

@LAgeDeRaisin

We've weedkilled the side of the hedge that faces them and repainted our side green.
Reported as not in the spirit.
fivelemons · 14/03/2021 15:56

TL;DR

Haven't RTFT so can't comment really, but YABU anyway because I say so.

HTH

Gemma2019 · 14/03/2021 15:56

And £100k is basically a pittance in the SE so you can't actually afford it.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 14/03/2021 15:57

Just give a tinkly laugh and remember that no is a full sentence.

Make sure you LTB and don’t forget that a whole chicken could easily feed your entire family for a week if you actually bothered to meal plan.
