to give my friend's kids 2 packets of Skittles in secret?

Hi there, new on here so go easy on me - I'm a luittle bit shy. Anyway, bit of background info - I'm a mum of two kids - River (4) and Mercedes (3) and they're great kids who I love to bits, would do anything for and treat them like little celebs!!

Anyway, my best friend and her husband have been staying this weekend and their kids have been an absolute nightmare. Moaning, whinging, getting up early, demanding to be bought stuff in every shop we went in Saturday and Sunday, running around the pub when we were supposed to be having lunch, using their straws as pea-shooters this morning in McDonalds - you name it, they did it. Proper annyounbg OPKs!

Anyway, my best friend and gher husband are a bit stuck up - you know the sort, checking how much salt is in everything, insisting on veg withy everything for their kids, having such a routine on what their kids eat and at what time - you know the sort, just general 'we're better parents than you' type snootiness. We gave their kids Easter Eggs and they were immediately whipped out of their hands

Anyway, they were travelling back to Durham tonight but as pay back for thier behaviour and as a two-fingers up to 'Mr and Mrs Perfect Parents', I secretly gave both kids two packets of Skittles to consume upstairs in River's bedroom without the Snoots knowing - I read somewhere that Skittles make kids go proper dizzy and hyper so that should make the journey home a lively one!!!

Anyway, that's not me being unreasonable when your best friend turns up with two rotters and proceeds to spoil your weekend with their 'perfect' routines?

ROFL - snootiness and McDonald's in the same paragraph.

j0807bump · 07/03/2010 21:34

lets be honest though, mini celebs? banning sweets? really does go to show every pnt does do things diff.

I'm starting to feel a teeny little bit embarrassed now!! (Hides)

I think it's fair to say I probably don't come across too well in my first post - but it was just a bit of fun with their kids. A couple of packs of sweets won't do them any last damage. Anyway, can you edit your post, may take out my kids names and when my friend is from - in case she uses this website and sees it - she'll know it's me!!

Any help, greatly appreciated. Thnx

I would drop the friends-you don't seem to like them!

ShadeofViolet · 07/03/2010 21:40

I think you would be much better off on Bounty OP!

differentID · 07/03/2010 21:40

SuperSmartMum- there is no edit facility on Mumsnet.

EcoMouse · 07/03/2010 21:46

No there's no edit facility as DID says.

If we all stop posting it'll drop off the board quite quickly.

GoddessInTheKitchen · 07/03/2010 21:46

You can ask to get it deleted, probably a good idea considering it's inane drivel it contains childrens names.

GoddessInTheKitchen · 07/03/2010 21:50

rofl 'when's it due'

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/03/2010 21:51

Were the eggs you gave them Nestle? If so, then perhaps they just don't want to support a load of child killers, but thought that you were too uptight to get the whole baby milk action thing.

EcoMouse · 07/03/2010 21:51

Oh did I say ?

I meant

I wouldn't worry about the children's names clucky - I don't think you'll find that they are real.

harecare · 07/03/2010 21:56

I've never spotted a troll before, how funny.

NotGrownUpEnough · 07/03/2010 22:00

i think it's quite funny if i'm honest, my sister used to go crazy off coca cola when we were growing up and i used to sneak it to her. She had no lasting damage

differentnameforthis · 07/03/2010 22:01

"you know the sort, checking how much salt is in everything, insisting on veg withy everything for their kids, having such a routine on what their kids eat and at what time"

Ohhh, I'm stuck up!

And I'd smack you upside the head if you gave my child something full of sugar & additives.

You do realise that you could make them throw up, right? Nice...making kids sick for revenge on their parents!

NotGrownUpEnough - At last, someone on exactly the same level as me as a parent! It was a bit of fun, it wasn't going to harm the kids, in fact, they loved the sweets - their parents don't allow them to eat sweets so it was a real treat.

I think they love me!!! McDonalds was like their best day ever this morning - can you believe they'd never been before?

BelleDameSansMerci · 07/03/2010 22:07

Aha, smacking and Skittles in one day... Righty-ho! Enjoy.

oneofsuesylvesterscheerios · 07/03/2010 22:07

same as on other thread just started in last hour or so...

hatwoman · 07/03/2010 22:19

has to be said, the names are quite a nice touch.

teamcullen · 07/03/2010 22:31

Imagine if the DCs ran off in the park and your shouting "Mercedes, River"

You'd have people serching for a car in the lake!!
