... just so shocked that they never told me about this. Recently been put in a hugely embarrassing situation because of their determination to keep things under the carpet. Am a bit stunned tbh.

I think they should have told me, AIBU?

eekmouse - parents and families get very sensitive over things happening in the family and end up not knowing how to talk about these events.

Thats it, patience exhausted and am a bit irritated by the op stringing this out in this silly fashion.

Going to flounce now and hide this thread from my active convos.

Might sneak back tomorrow and see if she ever actually did tell us what she was on about.

Mung · 25/06/2008 21:50

ChukkyPig · 25/06/2008 21:51

Well we've all heard something a bit weird about family members haven't we?

Am always interested to hear about what has happened with other people [subtle] [or maybe not]

allgonebellyup · 25/06/2008 21:51

ivykaty44 · 25/06/2008 21:52

Shall I tell you about the murder I found in my family - whilst we are waiting? death by clotted cream in the sleepy village....

BooshBaby · 25/06/2008 21:52

I'm only posting to keep this in my threads. I am so nosy, I really hope this is worth it..

sophiewd · 25/06/2008 21:52

I was 33 when I found out about our skeleton, everyone else knew.

umberella · 25/06/2008 21:52
