To not want to sit on mouldy garden furniture?

[hippohippohippo]

Visit to the in laws, sat in the garden. I notice there are mould spots on the garden furniture cushions myself and DS are sat on and am a bit grossed out by this, so suggest MIL might want to clean this off, and i go change mine and DS's clothes. Cue MIL getting angry about my overreaction leading to DH suggesting we go home early - AIBU?

Yes.
Y are B U.
(Is this even a real thread?!)

Are you on glue?

Mental sorry hope you can overcome this

You need to apologise- that was very rude and unkind.

Completely over the top reaction.

am a bit grossed out by this, so suggest MIL might want to clean this off, and i go change mine and DS's clothes.

If you were my DIL I'd suggest you go fuck yourself.

But thankfully my DIL doesn't think she's lady of the manor and if a bit of mould bothered her, she'd get up and clean it herself as she understands I'm not her servant.

Oh, and I meant to add, if you were so worried why didn't you clean the furniture yourself. You were very rude.

Nah. Don't blame you for changing your clothes. I cannot 'do' mould of any sort.

You sound a bit precious in all honesty

You might have over reacted, but if MIL was openly angry with you then her over reaction was more over the top that yours (if that makes sense!)

Hahaha

Blatantly yes unreasonable

I would've been out of there in a shot! Mildew can self combust and cause a massive explosion!!!

Except it can't and you should've just got on with your day.

That was rude.

You might want to change your shoes too. If you walked in the garden you walked over ground/grass that foxes, cats, and other other animals have peed on.

Very overdramatic and unnecessary.
You caused a palaver over nothing.
You owe your in-laws an apology!

From your previous posts, OP, I really think you need to relax a little. You are taking PFB to a whole new level. A little dirt won’t kill you.

Erm yes.. you were ridiculous but your other posts are just as ridiculous, you probably need to get some help for your anxiety.

What sort of mould are you referring to, fresh powdery green stuff that puffs out everywhere when you disturb it or the standard outdoor furniture black mould? The response would dictate my answer.

How would you feel if the roles were reversed OP, your MIL going to change because she sat on some mould on your garden chairs?

Lots of ways you could have handled it but you chose to insult the host/MIL.

You reacted in a rational way to you.
She reacted to that in her own rational way. Most agree with her.
You owe her an apology.

Unless there were mushrooms growing off of it then you are completely unreasonable. Can't you see this?
How on earth are you going to cope with the crawling stage and toddler years. That will totally freak you out.
Look, I'm sure you have your reasons, massive health anxiety etc but
I think you need to apologise to MIL.

you live on a damp wet island (most likely) and your worried about mold on spring garden furniture?

Why did you not get some soapy water and stuff, and get the garden stuff all cleaned up, instead of complaining about your clothes. Nit picking people are very annoying.

I went to a party where the furniture was like this. I couldn’t wait to leave actually and found it every uncomfortable.

I think with family it should be okay to speak up but I am not surprised your MIL didn’t appreciate it.

This is funny. Also , do you always travel with spare pants? Poor MIL.

Total over reaction! Why did you have spare clothes abs why was it not important your DH also changed?
