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.

Spending much time with a variety of friends. They parent differently to me. That is fine with me as their children are different to mine and they don't have to do things my way.

But likedylan did you call 111 and get it logged?

I was sat in the Quiet Coach of a train recently. At one stop, a lady with a young baby go to and sat down. When her baby started crying, she left to calm him down. Nobody said anything and it didn't upset my journey at all.

Dd has gone to sleep at 10 pm. She's 2.5 yrs old. I haven't got work tomorrow so don't care. Plus I'm still awake after putting her to bed, so might be dp lucky night!

My DH has been working away from home a lot recently, some of the trips overseas. He came home today after being away all week, with a stinking hangover from having been entertaining clients til the early hours. He was even too tired to play with our children who have really missed him. I heated him a bowl of beef casserole up and suggested he get an early night so he feels able to enjoy the weekend. No plans on LTB.

My STBXMIL has been out and bought new clothes for ds2. She did this without consulting me first.

She has done it so that ds2 doesn't have to pack a full bag every weekend while he stays with his dad at their house.

It's very kind and thoughtful of her. Ds2 is delighted with his new clothes. I am delighted that we're all trying to make this separation as easy as possible for ds2.

I read a really goady trolley thread that got me all riled up. I nearly posted but then decided not to get overly invested in the Internet. I forgot about it very quickly.

I love my MIL and enjoy her company, same situation for DH with my DM.

DM and DMIL also get on like a house on fire.

They have just booked their second 2 day mini break away together this year.

I am not incensed by this or think my DMIL is being unreasonable

DH does not iron. Every Sunday evening i iron him 5 shirts for the week ahead. Whilst i am doing this he does bath, hairwash, nail cutting and nit check for DS & DD2.

I know which i'd rather do!

I make his packed lunch every day too, along with the DC's (4 in total). However I don't do bins or hoover, he does those. Works for us.

Yes it is recorded in the special 'just in case book of trivial happenings' the Police keep just for mumsnet users. I may even pop down to the solicitors for the free half hour/ hour of legal advice that people seem to think they're 'entitled' to on these boards

Quite right too Dylan

I do DH's ironing too Princess he isn't a cocklodger. He does plenty of stuff that I don't, and brings me a cup of tea in bed every morning.

Ah, yes, the just in case book of trivial happenings. Because the police are so generously resourced that they maintain a special squad just to ensure that no incident, however trivial, is not recorded and investigated.

Yesterday, a relative forced me to look at her tedious holiday photos and snapped at my child when they failed to pay sufficient attention, but I just shrugged and reminded myself that my relative has poor social skills.

Someone asked DS to sit down today. We were watching street theatre and he was blocking their view and I hadn't realised. He sat down. I felt bad for letting him stand and for the rest of the performance I made sure he wasn't blocking anyone. Nothing more was said.

I had an email today that told me there was a problem with my account and I needed to reply urgently. I didn't. I deleted it instead.

My ds went to a friend's house yesterday for lunch etc. When I went to pick him up, the host mum said he was welcome to stay longer and she would walk him back

I didn't think she was being controlling or that my ds was trying to undermine me. He was having a lovely time. So I invited the friend over to ours next week.

DD, in quite a serious voice, informed MIL that 'Nanny you're really quite fat.' I told her that very rude and to apologise. She looked confused and said 'but it's not a lie!' I laughed. MIL laughed and said 'no darling, it's not a lie.' We proceeded to have a cup of tea.

Buttered If I were you, I'd trust no one.

When I went to our new local supermarket in my wheelchair last week we realised there were no dropped kerbs on the road in two locations. We still managed it but it was a little bit tricky.

When we got back I politely emailed the council and they replied today in an equally polite manner, apologised and said they would install dropped kerbs at the said locations.

I am satisfied with this. My DD however, is mildly disappointed that she cannot approach the local paper with her sad face (which she has been practising).
