Strange comment from couple re children’s clothes.

[Uptheapplesandpearstobed]

I’ve always taken pride in my children’s outfits. Always ironed, Boden etc.

I was at the local tea shop yesterday when an elderly man said to my two young children ‘ooo dressed for a wedding are we’ and his wife snapped at him saying ‘no, just a parent who dresses them properly’

I felt quite uncomfortable that he felt my children were going to a wedding because they were in a dress.

I have laughed so hard at things I've read on Mumsnet today. But this comment wins... 😂

It is so personal isn't it. Whenever I am back in UK at my parents the bed linen and towels are so soft. I literally like to hear the crunch as I fold my own 😀

@Sapphirejane

Same! 😄

Let's remember everyone, wealthy people don't care about what they look like and wear moth eaten jumpers and tweed coats that are falling apart at the seams. Boden is for wannabes.

OP, when you are done with the Boden outfits, please could I have em? I will chuck you a fiver. My LO's keep getting fag burns and fruit shoot down theirs. LOLZ.

Cheers hun 😘xxx

45 quid is all in seeing now.sadly and rd my problem I know I can't get my head around that part!lucky you.

Noooo soft cotton!!

What’s ‘apparatus age’?

Old enough to go on the play equipment (apparatus)

Lazarus spilled chai down his Balenciagas this morning. My partner wrote him a stern letter. How are we supposed to cope ?

his wife snapped at him saying ‘no, just a parent who dresses them properly’

And then everyone cheered.

Why on earth would you give this headspace?

Well yeah, but since even babies can go on the swings it’s not really a thing is it?

Sorry, that should have quoted @SoupDragon there.

Oh my god.this brings back nostalgic shivers down my spine.apparatus play!

I had to Google this.wtaf.

@kateandme - it was a joke

More the climbing stuff that they are going to get grubby on/fall off/rip something.

a baby doesn't get grubby on a swing.

🤣⬆️

I had a (mercifully brief) enthusiasm for making clothes when DD was about a year old. She suffered various slightly-wonky creations, including a very full-skirted red corduroy dress, complete with floral trim. I’m sure people did judge....

But we both grew out of it and moved on.

A passing comment that the dresses looked cute nothing more on your ‘children’

Boden
White Company
what’s next the suspense is unbearable

We need to know what was in the picnic. I'm not so well up on what the middle class food du jour is, but I'm sure that olives and butter with crunchy salt crystals in it will feature!

If she mentions fish knives, though, it's all over!

Himalayan salt crystals naturally.

no, just a parent who dresses them properly
She didn't actually say this though did she?
She'd say a mother who dresses them properly

Is the OP going to come back and tell us her "children" are boys and she deliberately kept them neutral and we've just assumed they're girls’

Like in Coronation Street

Courier goes into Dev Alerhans shop
Julie is working
Courier-"Are you Mr Dev Alerhan"
Julie- "Do I look like I could be Mr Dev Alerhan"?
Courier "I've done a course , we're taught not to judge"
