Go and post on other things now, kindly thoughtfully.

Thank you

End of.

GinSlinger · 14/09/2009 11:34

Has anyone been disingenuous yet - or am I going to have to do it? Again.

LovelyTinOfSpam · 14/09/2009 11:38

I'm going to ignore any arguments that disagree with my POV, on the basis that they are straw men and red herrings.

tethersend · 14/09/2009 12:25

It's like being unreasonable in Nazi Germany.

Am now invoking Godwin's law on myself.

PacificDogwood · 14/09/2009 12:58

The OP and everybody else on this thread (bar me, of course), for example, are twats.

Lepers, yeah, right ..

Oh right. So you accept that your DS really shouldn't have done that and that what you are really objecting to is the woman shouting up in your face about it.

In which case, you might want to title your next AIBU 'AIBU to not like being shouted at' rather than 'should my DS be allowed to evacuate his bowels under an old hag's shopping trolley'.

Asana · 14/09/2009 13:30

tethersend, why oh why did you have to bring up the Nazi thing again? Frankly IMVHO I find it rather inappropriate to refer to people as BF/CC/etc Nazis and will report your post to MN as a personal attack. It's such an extreme word to use! (Who cares if it's just an analogy with no real venomous meaning behind it ... )

Again, I find that YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU!

Asana · 14/09/2009 13:33

And MZ, "hag" is such an outdated word. I personally feel that the word "biddy" is much more modern and appropriate in such circumstances.

DeFluffMyFanjo · 14/09/2009 13:42

Have I mentioned that you can't slag off your MIL, because my 18 parents died when the barn fell on them and now I have to sleep with my sister/bil/sheep etc??

tethersend · 14/09/2009 13:47

Don't worry Asana, I have reported myself.

I am shocked and saddened by my own analogies.

Asana · 14/09/2009 15:01

I'm glad to see that you have listened to EVERYONE'S (not just mine obv!) opinions and have accepted that YABU.

On a separate note, if anyone has any great cockatiel recipes to impart, please come this way! I'm thinking about my dinner on Friday, following which I will be taking my 4mo DS to the pub for a bit of R'n'R.

flamingtoaster · 14/09/2009 15:11

Is it true that the OP has flounced? Is she coming back?

GlibGib · 15/09/2009 09:39

well I think you're all a bunch of cunts

vInTaGeVioLeT · 15/09/2009 10:20

glibGib - i'm appalled at your language as is my 2yr old G&T daughter who just read your reply out loud to my perfect MIL

please think of the children

duchesse · 15/09/2009 11:37

Gosh, vintage, is your 2 yr old only at the stage of reading four-letter words? She sounds a little backward. My 2 yr old reads medical textbooks for fun.

Or is that a different topic?

skihorse · 15/09/2009 11:47

YABVVVU to have dust on your skirting boards. Children can develop nut-allergies. I'm not surprised he's having an affair tb totally honest.

TheLadyEvenstar · 15/09/2009 11:53

Duchesse well my 2 yr old is studying for his law degree in fact he already has his medical one....he is so perfect!

And my 11yr old well he has his own company with 12 outlets.

so HUH

Spacehoppa · 15/09/2009 21:17

My 2 year old company has done so well that she has sold it and used the money to retire to the South of France

skihorse · 15/09/2009 21:33

France? How "nouveau".

TheLadyEvenstar · 15/09/2009 21:46

Space wow at 2???

Seeks advice regarding ds2 who has only managed to get his medical degree and is almost finished his law degree.....worried he may be behind his peers now!

daisyj · 15/09/2009 21:56

YABVVVU. I just cannot understand why people even have children if they are not prepared to spend every waking moment in their presence and then wake them up to spend more time with them because they miss them so much when they are asleep. Some people just don't deserve to have kids.

TheLadyEvenstar · 15/09/2009 21:57

Daisy, well my dc and I are never asleep....if they fall asleep i wake them and vice versa...is this normal or aibu?
