DS got his first tooth the other day so I updated my facebook status saying this. Okay I know that is a bit PFB, but most of the people on my facebook are family/friends who would be interested.

I got 2 comments, one saying "Did he bite you? Hehe" and another saying "Awwwwwwwwwwwww my little R.. has got a tooth, awwwwwwwwww!!"

Sorry, he's not yours, he's mine! I don't think I'd even mind as much but she's not even related to him, she's a friend and not even a particularly close friend.

AIBU to be a bit miffed that she referred to him as "my little "?

no problem.
Have you anyone who can babysit?
A few hours out with dh might do you the world of good.

But I didn't want to know if it was unreasonable to be annoyed at a woman trying to sleep with my husband, I wanted to know if the comment was unreasonable to get annoyed about. I do find it a bit odd as I have never come across anyone saying "My little X" before unless it was their godson or nephew or something. So just wanted to check if it was meant in a nice way or not. I got my answer so I expanded with the explanation.

Daffo yes, we are working on that atm - got a handy babysitting circle set up with my NCT friends which is really handy! Just keep being too disorganised to arrange anything.

Oh no - OP - this could be me!

I often refer to my godson as "my" .... you know the thing - "my little boy", "my little sweetie" etc. I don't mean he actually belongs to me, but it is just a term of endearment. I hope his mum doesn't mind!

Oh and just remembered - I refer to the children in the class I work in at school as "my children" Eeek!

YABU chill out

YANBU but only because of the extra information. Dump her as a friend, and delete her from your facebook. You do not need a friend like that right now. Or anytime really.
