Read the Damn Post! AIBU

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 12:17

This really gets my goat and I probably need to chill the fuck out but I find it so annoying!

Someone will post an AIBU e.g.
DD (9) has done X,Y & Z, I think she is old enough to know better DH disagrees and she is just a kid still WIBU?

Followed by a flood of posters - How old is DD? What age is your daughter? etc....

Sometimes the answer to the question is in the thread title FGS [facepalm]

Some threads are long, I get that but at least read the blinking OP before responding! AIBU and this is something I shouldn't care about?

hairspray

try rubbing alcohol or nail varnish remover on your keyboard.

Or visit and E because they aren't busy.

On second thoughts, your DH should do all of that.

has any used the word cunt yet to prove they're really liberated?

Teatowelfairy · 27/04/2017 17:58

Pull up those big girl pants, look MIL straight in the eye and loudly say "Did you mean to be so rude?" Rinse and repeat.
Of course your guinea pig is more important than DS and MIL needs to step the fuck back. She seems like a narc maybe NC would be the way to go.

TheDevilMadeMeDoIt · 27/04/2017 17:58

But the goat will be devastated if you go NC. She loves DD - more than she loves you I reckon.

Whatever your DD's done, will no-one think of the goat?

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 18:04

Teatowel : I think the better route at the moment would be the pass ag route.

OP you have got lots of brilliant advice on here.

Please do come back even if you are dying in A and E and update us.
Otherwise we will turn on you like a baying mob.

THANK YOU OP!
I have considered starting this exact thread myself so many times.
I swear I spent the majority of my English lessons in school for 12 years doing reading comprehension i.e reading the paragraph fully and then answering questions based solely on information gleaned by fully comprehending said paragraph - excellent preparation for MN if not for actual real life literacy.

How selfish.

DD is a narc, must get it from MIL
She always means to be so rude!!!

I think she is racist and goatist

Thanks for the update OP, but it's not really an update is it?

RhodaBorrocks · 27/04/2017 18:16

Haven't RTFT but yes, at 9 your DS should know better.

TheDevilMadeMeDoIt · 27/04/2017 18:20

What do we think about goats being able to identify as women and being able to compete in women's events at the Olympics?

HairsprayBabe · 27/04/2017 18:21

Could someone start a new threat, not a TAAT but definatly inspired by one....

I agree - my DD2 is 8, at a super selective school, drinks alcohol, makes 8 course meals and revises for all her exams with no help from me using the 9000 study guides that I consider appropriately challenging because I have an Oxbridge degree and her teachers are all dreadful.

DD1 is thick as shit but I don't ever mention her

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 18:23

That would be a TAATAT Confused

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 18:23

Bollocks ATAATAAT

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 18:26

What colour is your goat?

wasonthelist · 27/04/2017 18:27

This whole thread was entirely predictable and has been caused by Brexit you racist xenophobic Turkeys.

Teatowelfairy · 27/04/2017 18:27

ILikeBeans Out of curiosity, was DD1 breastfed or formula fed? would explain the thick as shit is all

wasonthelist · 27/04/2017 18:28

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 18:30

Did you expect the thread to go like this op?Grin
Or did you think you would have had a load of. "Some people actually have a life outside if mn and with 2 ft jobs 8 dc's and 2 dh's and a goat some people don't have the time to rtwt.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 27/04/2017 18:33

Teatowel - she was fed cow's milk. At the time I thought was right.

DD2 is still breastfed, in combination with a gluten free, vegan diet . She drinks only water. from Himalayan foothills.

Funnyfarmer · 27/04/2017 18:36

@ILikeBeansWithKetchup cows milk?
Everyone knows goats milk is best. What was you thinking?
