No Drama. Mumsnet threads you haven't started.

My Neighbour is mowing their grass. They have been at it since 8am.
I don't think this is outrageous. It's a good idea to do it before it gets hot.

My DH is off work today and last night he said he would do the hoovering and clean the bathroom. He was out last night and is a little hungover so text me to say he would do it tomorrow as he wants to watch Netflix in his underwear all day. I have no problem with this and when I get home I will join him in the Netflix watching in underwear and we will get take away and be grown ups tomorrow

The other day I was on a bus with DS, his buggy and not one but two people in wheelchairs. I happily folded the buggy and the two wheelchairs squeezed into the allocated space. Everyone completed their journeys without any fuss.

My neighbour has been landscaping her garden for weeks. It sometimes gets noisy. Whenever I walk past I compliment her on how fab it looks.

DD didn't get a reading certificate in assembly this morning despite us reading every day. I was slightly miffed but within moments had reminded myself that it was the reading that was the point and it helped DD learn to read which she now does brilliantly. So I didn't go and have a word with her teacher because in the general scheme of things it doesn't really matter and DD didn't even notice.

I've been away with work all week. DP came down with proper flu last night. Since he leaves all housework till the day I come back you could stir the mess with a big stick. So I changed the bedding, tidied up, made him soup and I'm now sat with a takeaway from a place he hates, a bottle of wine and Downton on box set.
I did not meet Anthony Head at the takeaway. Gutted.

I went for a walk.
I met a dog who came close. I like dogs & saying hello to his slobberness.
Another time, a dog got over-excited and nipped me, drawing a tiny bit of blood.
I felt sorry for the bitey dog because his owner looked right dodgy.
I carried on with my walk.

Parts of my house have been recently adapted to help ds2, including handrails outside, one section goes all the way up my grass, the kids next door and their friends play on them like a jungle gym, they have great fun, the parents have asked me to tell them to leave if it bothers me or ds2, it doesn't, I love watching them having such fun and the laughter is a tonic, it makes me a bit sad that ds2 will never be able to do it, we use the hand rails as intended, I will never ask them to stop enjoying themselves, they will do that soon enough when they get too big to swing all the way around.

One or two posters didn't quite reply in the vein of the op.

It's nice to read all the positive stuff people are doing.

I have a large boil which needs lancing. I shall get on with it in the privacy of my own bathroom.

Teen wants to bring girlfriend home to stay over. It's cool.

My ds6 didnt go to bed till 10.15pm. He hasn't got to get up tomorrow, neither do I.

Im not stressing about being a bad parent.

I can hear a helicopter above my house as I've got the windows open. I don't need to go on Facebook moaning about the noise and calling the area a shithole full of scumbags.Each time I hear it I am just incredibly grateful that I'm not the one praying the air ambulance can land in time nor the parent whose child the helicopter is searching for.

Today I went to the beach with my DC. I took no notice of anyone else's parenting. They all took no notice of me. We all had a nice time.

I went on a first date tonight. No red flags. Reader, we snogged.

AIBU: to throw a bucket of water from my upstairs window on the drunk idiot who is currently peeing on my front garden rose bush? I did already bang loudly from the safety behind the door and got called a see you next Tuesday. It is not what I expected to do on a Sunday.

Taken me a week to actually come to terms with the fact this happened...

Yesterday I took my kids to McDonald's because they had air conditioning and it was 30* outside. I gave my 10 month old a few fries with his own foody bits from his bag, because I hadn't planned to eat there but it was too hot for the pub lunch I had planned. My dm was with me. She asked why I didn't just get him a happy meal 'because he likes them'. I ignored this comment, even though I know that means she has given him happy meals before. I will still let her look after the children unsupervised because otherwise I would never have a minutes peace from parenting. Sometimes you have to let granny be granny.

I went to bed before
11 year old DD last night, leaving her watching YouTube vids unsupervised.

It's OK. She knows I was feeling ill and wanted to be in bed and I know I can trust her on the Internet.

Initially I wasn't very happy that she woke me up an hour later to see how I was, but soon realised she was just worried about me so we had a hug and I went back to sleep.

I'm feeling a little bit better this morning.

I went to the shops to look at clothes. They didn't have anything I liked that fitted me. I didn't buy anything. I shall carry on wearing the clothes I already have.

Our neighbours teen daughter had a party in the Garden last night which was quite noisy. It sounded like they were having fun. They were fine about our DDs party last year too.

Ds texted me last night at 12.30 a.m. to see if I was available to pick him up from a friend's house 20 mins drive away, as his lift back had fallen through.

I was a bit irritated, even though it wasn't his fault.

I went and picked him up, he apologised and thanked me, and I said, in a jokey way, that's ok, but don't make a habit of it!

I then asked him if he'd had a good evening. He had.

I think most parents put themselves out for their children sometimes.

My landlady rang for a chat today, she likes to check all is ok. I mentioned we're having a bbq. 10 minutes later the landlord turned up to cut the grass so it was nice for us (gardening is his job).

This was slightly inconvenient as we'd started getting ready. We stopped, moved said stuff, made landlord a drink and thanked him for being so considerate.

One of my neighbours is getting a new drive and parks his car in front of my house. He didn't ask. I don't care.

My husband does things / doesn't do things that annoy me, sometimes we argue about it, sometimes I let it go. It's all just part of the give and take of a long relationship I don't want to LTB.

My neighbours have just started playing music outside. Think they're having a barbeque. It stopped me from being able to hear the TV. I closed the French Windows. I can watch TV in peace now. All is well😀

Today a small child grabbed my walking stick as I was leaning on it, and almost sent me crashing down. His dad scolded him, and made him apologise. I was happy with his parenting.
