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)

It sounds very carb heavy, you really need to go low carb or keto.

Have you considered you might be on the spectrum?

friendlycat · 14/03/2021 16:25

OP you do seem to be getting a hard time. Just be kind everyone.
But you did vote Brexit. Own it now leavers you voted for this. Could it also be a touch of dementia?

NotQuiteUsual · 14/03/2021 16:25

Ffs THERES A PANDEMIC GOING ON.

As long as person C is a keyworker yabu. But if they're just a normal peasant yanbu.

GuacamoleParty · 14/03/2021 16:27

It's not a race to the bottom, OP

friendlycat · 14/03/2021 16:27

This would be a deal breaker for me frankly it’s grim.

countrygirl99 · 14/03/2021 16:30

Just do a head tilt and tell her it doesn't work for you. Add a tinkly laugh if you must but fgs wear a mask. I double mask 48 hours a day so I don't know why you are being do precious.

tolerable · 14/03/2021 16:31

OMG. you are so entitled. .to responses..none of which have to be right.thats the whole delight in a forum of non outed ever people with varying levels of intelligence,and reasons to be here at all.
you have been very specific in your op. are you from a rogue newspaper.?or really a man? is this a reverse?
o have looked back on zero of your namechanges and seems exceptonally likely you are in need of sextoys/alternative entertainment.
but very very right.

FFS don't open the front door.

If they haven't phoned to make an appointment then noone should have be knocking on the door.

In fact if they haven't texted to book a time they are going to phone don't answer the phone.

Shodan · 14/03/2021 16:33

I'm going to disagree with everyone here.

Hedges are bad for cats pavements the environment, I can't believe you'd let the lemur grow one.

Have you considered an ocean liner instead?

Nonbio46 · 14/03/2021 16:34

This would never happen where I live ( no, I’m not telling you what country I live in).

Erm excuse me. It's a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. FFS why do people not understand this after a year? Sorry to shout but this just does my head in

HeronLanyon · 14/03/2021 16:34

Well now I’ve read your updates please ignore my first post (which I didn’t get round to posting) which was totally wrong and rude also.
YANBU. You’ve also been really brave op. She’d have been proud of you.

solittletime · 14/03/2021 16:37

I have analysed your op. There are discrepancies as the day you quote I checked weather records and it was above 5 degrees. Stop being a helicopter parent and how can you use one chicken for just one meal - so wasteful.

PurplePlain · 14/03/2021 16:37

Thank goodness this didn't happen in a supermarket, otherwise a total stranger (probably an older McDonald's eating female) might have said something unpleasant about one of your children, causing you to respond in eloquent prose and them to then scream in your face.

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 14/03/2021 16:39

That's absolutely ridiculous OP. Don't you care about the environment at all?

annonnymous · 14/03/2021 16:40

Of course you are not BU

I’m not quite clear, OP.
Is the smell coming from under the freshly laid patio? Did you see the halibut leave after he did the cleaning? What did he do with his briefcase after the tomato spoke to him?
If your OH is involved in this sorry state of affairs, then I can only suggest some CBT, for all of the family, but if he’s not, make a nice dinner for 400 with a single chicken, and hold the parsnip in your left hand next time.

You sound as though you’re surviving. You need to thrive.

Well having read some of these responses I can see why you didn't give her a lift. But I'm sick of all the teacher-bashing on MN - if you don't like it then go private. You could probably get a bursary for the donkey.
