Should I 'lighten up' or would you be annoyed?

We live on the same road as my 3 childrens (10,9,7) school. We are directly across the road and the lollipop lady stands at our gate.

Everyone, including teachers comes past our house to get to and from school.

My husband changed the large let it snow sticker we had in our window so it says 'melon tits' on Thursday night
I didn't notice until I got home from work on Friday night. (I had some messages from people I know about it but can't check my personal phone at work. I have a work phone for emergencies)

Im not amused and I've taken it down.
He thinks it's funny and I should lighten up and put it back.

So he swopped the letters round?

Sounds like something Year 8 boys at school would do.
I’d be more embarrassed for him than angry.
Ask him if he’s feeling ok.

Very immature. Personally I'd eye roll and that would be it. Others would snigger, others still would be hugely offended and seek to cancel the person responsible.

Funnylittlefloozie · 28/11/2021 13:21

It is sort of funny, but then I'm very immature. 'Melon tits' isn't desperately amusing out of any context though. I think he wasn't wrong as such to do it, and you weren't wrong to take it down.

MurielSpriggs · 28/11/2021 13:24

It made me laugh, but I'm childish in the extreme Grin

I can't see the harm.

authenticforgery · 28/11/2021 13:24

Yanbu, it's so immature I'd be cringing for him.

NovemberNovemberDarkNights · 28/11/2021 13:25

I'd be pissed off with him,not seeing how inappropriate this is right outside a primary school AND outside our kids school where their friends, their friends parents & teachers will all see it.

I'd be querying if I knew him at all.

If he had the stupidity to tell me to 'lighten up' I'd readily agree and say that his 12 stone going to live with his mother would indeed lighten me up!

Err so YES I'd be annoyed, but more like furious, embarassed & disappointed that I was with such a TWAT.

MurielSpriggs · 28/11/2021 13:25

Just working out out. You have to turn the W upside-down to get the M. It's actually pretty clever!

MurielSpriggs · 28/11/2021 13:26

How did he get the second T in tits?? 🤔

BlackeyedSusan · 28/11/2021 13:30

Blood hell you lot are fast! Grin

IncompleteSenten · 28/11/2021 13:31

I'd be mortified. Imagining what people must have been thinking!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 28/11/2021 13:31

Was he drunk?

Drunk prank... stupid, but kind of funny. Especially if apologetic
Conscious decision... immature and inappropriate near a school.

Tal45 · 28/11/2021 13:31

I'd be embarrassed that I was married to someone so immature. If I saw that in someone's window I wouldn't think - oh look at that clever person who has turned the w from snow into an m so they can make melon tits from the letters of 'let it snow'. I'd just see 'melon tits' and think - they're fucking weird and inappropriate right next to a primary school.

2typesofjungle · 28/11/2021 13:31

You are very unreasonable for having a 'Let It Snow' sign in your window Grin

Chloemol · 28/11/2021 13:32

How old is he? 5?

How childish and so not funny

BobbieT1999 · 28/11/2021 13:32

Immature and childish but I wouldn't get worked up about it Hmm

ThinWomansBrain · 28/11/2021 13:32

is your partner usually such an infantile twat?

SleepingStandingUp · 28/11/2021 13:33

Yeah I'd be pissed off op. Who needs their 6 yo old asking what melon tits means becasue it says so in Johnny Smiths window.

CheeseCakeSunflowers · 28/11/2021 13:33

Apply on his behalf to countdown, I think he would do rather well.

SpangoDweller · 28/11/2021 13:34

I would be annoyed if this had happened in my house BUT I have also done a big snort-laugh at your plight, sorry.
