like going on holiday with them, my dh gets on great with my dad and when they do for a drink they go together,and they both love fishing. we all love to go to majorca on holiday so we go together, and we have a ds nearly 2 and we get alot of babysitting help from them. me and my mum enjoy going to aquaaerobics so we go together.
but people in our village have been calling us odd.
just because we are really close.
i hope im this close to ds when he grows up.
are they just envious?
or is it because we live next door to them? them amount of times people of said oh i couldn't do that[ie live next door] in a snotty sniffy way

spotthedog - if Cod's rude, by all means call her on it - she's not Queen of MN

But she said "you're odd" (which you use in your thread title) and your response was "Fuck off"!!! So on balance, I think you are the rude one here.

If you don't like her posts, ignore them, and if you think they are offensive, report them.

no, you said 'is it unreasonable for me to get annoyed when others think i'm odd'?

she said that she thought you were odd. and rahter predictably you got annoyed.

unreasonably so, imo.

i think it's a bit odd myself but i think you shouldn't care that other people think it's odd, so it's a waste of your energy getting annoyed.

HerReasonableness · 13/03/2008 15:18

OH you are a namechanging troll, aren't you, bugger

spotthedog · 13/03/2008 15:18

oo could you get your toungue any further up cods arse?

I definitely think it's odd to choose living next door to your parents as a way to not conform. Couldn't you have got a piercing or do drugs, these are faaaar less 'out there'!

Oliveoil · 13/03/2008 15:19

probably

SlackSally · 13/03/2008 15:19

I think it's fairly odd. To me, the whole idea of being a grown up is to move away from your parents and make your own life. I can't imagine anything worse than having my parents constantly 'popping in'.

But then again, you'd probably think I was pretty odd for very rarely seeing my parents. I don't care what you think, and you shouldn't care what I think.

Aitch · 13/03/2008 15:20

LOL. why are you so angry about this? maybe you need to get your aggression out with a more active exercise regime? boxercise? ciruit training?

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 15:20

Reasonable I asked if she was having a fight with herself but I never got a reply ... guilty?!

Aitch · 13/03/2008 15:21

i would live next door to my mum, btw. i like her, she's irritating but she lives on a nicer street than i do currently. she'd be the cross i'd have to bear.

Boco · 13/03/2008 15:21

Jesus. I was just reading a 'Where's spot' lift the flap book with my dd. And now spot the dog is barking anal tonguing insults at olive oil!

You've totally ruined it now, you dirty.

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 15:21

Aitch - I think the aqua aerobics were already mentioned by Cod weren't they!!

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 15:22

Boco get back to manning your pit you skiver!

spotthedog · 13/03/2008 15:22

no one has given one good reason why its odd, because yes it is unusual, but not odd in a weird odd, just different.
we just have similar interests.

lolli - it's defo not Cod. The typing is too good. It's VERY reminiscent of someone else though.

Boco · 13/03/2008 15:23

I still think bare knuckle fighting would be better. Is your mum interested at all, is it something you could do together?

Aitch · 13/03/2008 15:23

i don't think the aqua aerobics are cutting it, lolly...

NotSureWatToThink · 13/03/2008 15:23

Wat a feckin freak cod is erwwww

Aitch · 13/03/2008 15:24

LOLOL boco. you just made me spit out my coffee.

look at your pals, spott, do they hang out with their mum? no? that's why you are odd. because it's unusual. but it works for you, so why get so cross about it? it is odd, you ARE odd. but you are happy being odd, or you should be.

Oliveoil · 13/03/2008 15:25

I recognise the typing hmmmmmmm

Aitch · 13/03/2008 15:26

i don't. i never do. i am the worst troll-hunter in MN history. [sucked-in]

musicgirl · 13/03/2008 15:28

People probably think you're odd because they think you hang around your parents so much because you don't have any friends. I like spending time with my parents but they have their social life and I have mine.

Do you have any friends or social life?
