to be annoyed with "friend"?

kayzisbroody · 23/02/2008 17:15

I recently went out with a couple of friends. 1 is one of my closest friends and the other is someone we both know from a mother and baby club.
We went a did a bit of shopping and then went for lunch. While we were having lunch the friend I'm closest too said that now she is on maternity leave she feels a bit lonely sometimes so I told her about MN. The other friend rolled her eyes but said nothing.

Then ds did a dirty nappy so I went to change him. When I got back the friend who isn't really a friend said "I don't see why you changed him, I only change dd in the morning and in the evening no matter how many poos she does." I smiled and said that I'd rather change a pooy nappy straight away and she said "Well you do work instead of stay at home and you talk to wierdos on the internet." I didn't say anything to that.

Surely when I change my ds's nappy has nothing to do with me not being a SAHM or talking on MN. Also I don't think we're wierdos.

Oh, sorry, just read that she's seen sense.

Fimbo · 25/02/2008 14:46

Thank goodness.

Hopefully she will heed the advice.

I like this woman less & less. Children should be able to revel in making a mess and not have to worry about their precious clothes fgs. I see what is most important to her, and it doesn't seem to be the children. I'm not surprised she doesn't like MN............
'Glad' that she's being sorted out re the nappies though.

CrushWithEyeliner · 25/02/2008 15:41

she has another child?

theprecious · 25/02/2008 15:45

and glad to hear that this woman is being monitored, it really worried me over the weekend - poor poor baby.

Yeah she has a 3 yr old ds and an 10 month old dd.

When we were out for lunch her dd spat some food out and it missed her bib and she was so annoyed she had to buy her a new top so no one saw it was a mess and there is my ds pulling his bib off and waving it around his head with food everywhere. My other friends twins were wiping there food in each others hair.

Aww the poor EVIL woman having to buy her baby a new top so as not to seem like a dirty neglectful mother, I'm sure the eye watering stench of shit won't encourage people to think any different!!!

Think you'd best stick with the friend you had already. That one sounds like a right freak of lazy nature.

She'll end up giving her kids food or mess phobias and they'll be all whingey and pathetic because of her strange parenting!!!

Her son cant get dirty. If he gets food or paint on his hands he screams and panics. She is taking him to the gp about it.

omg!

currantbunmum · 25/02/2008 16:55

She sounds as if she has some kind of control issues, and unfortunately is passing them onto her children.

How ridiculous to worry about the outward appearance of her DD, and not her comfort, and she calls us freaky?

CrushWithEyeliner · 25/02/2008 18:45

pathetic, absolutely pathetic and slightly insane that she can't see the inconsistency of a child with the constantly dirty nappy over some food on a shirt shock horror.

This is so not about the comfort of children who would be happy in any clothes that are clean and allow them to move freely...oh christ I could go on all day about this Woman and I don't even know her...

I could too, she is quite strange. I was half expecting to see her today to find out she had come on here and seen this but she didnt say anything.

Glad that she seems to have listened to doc . I hope he also told her not to use babywipes on her sore bottom as that would sting so much.

Feel quite sad for her and her children though

AlbertaWildRose · 25/02/2008 19:09

I have just seen this thread and haven't had time to read it all, but just wondered if your friend is aware that babies have actually died from having nappies changed infrequently? There was a story in 2005 about a young baby who died from septicaemia after her heroin-addict mother did not change her nappies: see news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4329385.stm. I really hope your friend sees the light and that being monitored will help her.

I think the GP told her it could happen.

Does she come on MN?

kayzisbroody · 25/02/2008 19:18

No, I dont think so. She thinks talking to people you dont know online is wierd and that we are all wierd.
At least that's what she said last week.

OP posts:

mylovelymonster · 25/02/2008 20:25

If she talked to people she didn't know she might learn a thing or two about childcare.
And shopping at Waitrose

egypt · 26/02/2008 04:50

Does she also understand that apart from changing her every 3 hours as the doc said, she MUST also change IMMEDIATELY after a dirty nappy?
