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]

He doth not starve! Promise!

It has dropped out of my 'I'm on' as have been studiously avoiding mnetting in favour of study. Will have a search.

"I could have merrily battered him."

Hormones or no hormones what a thoroughly revolting thing to say. I can't think of anything that would make me feel that way towards my LO's.

Your son was hungry but you put your needs before his and then punished him for it.

Hiya Shiney.

Sorry ladies for the hijack but this is important.

What complaint d'you think he'd make? I killed the "take a picture, Tiger" vibe as I thought that might start getting a bit dodgy and invasion of privacy etc. but I can't for the life of me see what he could say to you: eg Oh DCI Gene Hunt, your Shiney was mean to me. I decided to go behind her back on a blind date with someone who'd accidently texted me. Shiney found out about it and didn't turn up. Oh and her virtual mate Tiger was on the sidelines to check.

and I can't see what he'd say to me (as you'll have guessed a member of the august legal profession): "Birdland is naff" ? nitwit.

BTW, it was raining so hard, I couldn't possibly recognise him again.

Yes, dumbo, that's clearly GBH with intent.

Shineon...That is a thinly veiled threat...surely that is more likely to be considered a crime than your little staged drama.
Mention it to your DS and see if he thinks you have compromised your position - not likely.

Have I missed summat here?

Oh, I did a search and found one of Shineon's posts about him leaving a voicemail on her landline commenting on her possibly having had something to do with it..blah blah especially in her position..blah blah.
I read that as him threatening to complain to the police. I meant that was out of order. I may have misread, it's late, I have drunk wine...

Hi CKelpie

You have either conflated or extrapolated. But I see where you are coming from.

He's making a silly threat to Shiney which won't really work at all. Shiney knows the right side of the line here. As the other guilty party (or at least the only one owning up) - so do I.

Lots of wine here too. or is that whine ? good job you are the OP or this would be a super hijack!

Crikey - conflated or extrapolated? I consider that an achievement at this point in the evening!

And on that note...night all.

Night CKelpie.

I have my Mrs Pompous Winehead hat on so just ignore me. It's quite fetching tho from this angle

It's good - I had to look up conflated although I extrapolated correctly on it's meaning so thank you for expanding my vocabulary this evening.

blame the bloody penguins.

I do.

nite Shiney

Just glad that when I turned up on P-day he wasnt someone I knew...

Night again CKelpie, have a nice day with your DS.
