"Darling, don't be smug"

[comeonangel]

Visiting at a friend's house (not local) our 2 DDs, both age 3 playing - hers is slightly younger than mine.

Her DD and mine are doing a puzzle together and mine can't do it as quickly as hers can.

Her DD says something to my DD along the lines of "I can't believe you can't do this I've been doing it since I was two".

My friend replied "darling, don't be smug."

Was this a dig that my DD is developmentally behind or something? I ask genuinely as it's not a term that's used here where I live and I've just read another thread about 'smug' meaning superior.

AIBU to now be thinking her telling my DD off for being 'smug' was an implication that my DD was behind?

Now who's being smug? It's what boys do, love.

I have boys and girls too, and I’m from a large family with female and male siblings. I can still see the sexism, even if you don’t.

No you can't. You're being snide to another poster for no reason. Have whatever opinion you want but accept that others have different views, and that's fine.

😂

Not sure if you realise how rude that came across, are you always quite defensive?

What is that in response to?

I think I’ve figured out what the problem is here.

OP’s child couldn’t do the puzzle. Friends child could.

OP then didn’t know the word smug. Friend (and friends child) did.

It’s two grievances really. Thats where the weird attitude has come from. Jealousy or confusion, or OP feeling some kind of way about not knowing something.

Well, currently 97% of responders think YABU OP, I think there's a clue in there somewhere.

😂

Pretty puerile responses OP (do they use that word round your way?)

😁

Ok OP, you got plenty of good responses (as well as harsh ones!) - there's no need for the stupid replies; people took time to read & respond to your thread.

😂

I don’t think OP has realised 😂 = ‘I’m fummng but I have no come back so I’ll just pretend I’m hilarious’.

OP you’re coming across as a jerk.

Eine was being nice, you massively over reacted to her in quite a malicious way.

And, as most PPs have said, your friend was obviously just admonishing her kid.

Smug is a very basic word. Glad you know what it means now.

I'd interpret it as meaning 'don't be boastful'. Not as meaning anything about your son.

I'm not remotely fuming and haven't bothered to read the thread; forgot I had even started in saw it was 5 of 6 pages long of people shouting aggressively over nothing on the basis of me posting twice.

I find it deeply funny.

I still do.

You are all very funny 😂

But you must see how nasty and passive aggressive you were with Eine?

The topic of the thread aside you showed yourself up badly there.

You flounced because the thread wasn’t going your way. At least own it.

You posted 9 times, actually. (Admittedly several being emojis).

Look, you asked about a situation. You got a variety of replies. It's how MN works.

No need to return to the thread only to be a dick, having insulted a poster offering support previously. Grow up.

😂

😂

Yes, and actually some posters did agree with OP, at least in part but she's ignored that too.

OP, have you no words? Are you drunk or something to say you're only capable of being an arse at this point?

What’s so funny, OP? Share the joke!

Just for you, my chilled out little friend.
