To leave selfish little oik in his room til bedtime...

[CKelpie]

Bit of background...

1. Was out of work from Oct to Jan following redundancy so no takeaways for a while - I have only recently felt financially secure enough to loosen the belt and treat DS and I.

2)There is a rule in our house that we all sit down together and don't start eating until we are all there.

3)I am prementstrual.

Friday night and we spontaneously go for indian takeaway, arrive home and get caught chatting to neighbour on the way in, tell ds (who is nagging) "Just hang on, I will be there in a few mins"

It was 3 or 4, tops. OK maybe 6 or 7.

I get in and DS (going on 10) is polishing off his portion of pilau and king prawn korma.

I ask about us sitting down together and sharing a treat? He is full and going upstairs. See the red mist.

Cue huge rant from me about him being selfish and doing as he pleases with disregard for others in the house.

Told him to stay in his room til bedtime - I was so angry (hormones) I could have merrily battered him.

Went up to make friends before he went to sleep but am still silently peeved, I'm really bearing a grudge this time. He is growing up so much but is sometimes such a selfish toad!

Come on Mumsnet flamers - tell me off. What level of perspective is needed?

Disclaimer... am hormonal so may bite. Plus I have wine now too! [grrr]

Long time no see!

Oh hello fruitbeard, don't recognise the name but hello.

lol @ waste those piggies!

We are going shopping tomorrow morning for snacks as his mates are coming round for an 'Xbox session' and I promised nibbles.

Pray for good weather so I can escape to the garden and vent my hormones on the weeds...

Can you OD on evening primrose?

Or even STD.

stop this drama?

I don't know if you can OD on evening primrose, are you sprouting delicate yellow petals and exuding a soothing aroma?

will cross fingers and recite "rain rain go away" for you

want to turn it on its head.

if an adult was sitting at table waiting for your unthoughtful self tittletattling with a neighbour - i think they would have a reason to be pissed off and sen d you to your room for being inconsiderate.

I used to be Lovecat (keep forgetting I've namechanged!). We got v. drunk at the Xmas meet up....

Shag that doctor

Evening primrose good, also rescue remedy.

Hey lovecat, yeah and I was the shining example of sobriety! Not!

Hey Custy

"..sprouting delicate yellow petals and exuding a soothing aroma?"

Do curry stains and pong count?

Shit!... The Dinner

Oh and

YABU. You were talking to a neighbour and he didn't want his meal to go cold.

lol

Shag that doctor

Yes Custardo, I have seen the error of my ways but to be fair, he decided to bugger off to his room before I ranted about being selfish.
Him legging it was part of the problem for me. I ate my dinner on my own so didn't go to make friends with him until bedtime.

But anyway, what is STD?

Speedily Troughed Dinner

That should be hijack of course. Blame the wine or the hormones!
