I've been scouting around the site for a few weeks, looking for info on parentnig issues (soon to be stepmother) and I was wondering how do you bear to talk like this about your family members? What's wrong with you all??

The whole point of my 'self righteous' post was to try to show you that your view of Mumsnet is nowhere near the full picture, Andula - but now, more than ever, I suspect that you do not want to acknowledge that fact.

I've just eaten three bars of chocolate and they were delicious. Time for a cup of tea now though. (while i wait for this thread to explode)

Pack it in with the goading, its pathetic

They could only storm the palaces of our oppressors if the bathroom window's been left open.

Grin You're forgetting the cuteness factor though, they could do big eyes, like Puss in Boots and get away with anything...

Honestly, I don't think kittens could do it.

Squirrels on the other hand...

ArielTheBahHumbugMermaid · 07/12/2012 20:03

Olivia, you are naughty.

TeamBacon · 07/12/2012 20:04

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 07/12/2012 20:11

I really do love Olivia

I think if I had a daughter I would call her Olivia

Maybe I should get a girl kitten instead. It could be the one to lead the revolution

Andula · 07/12/2012 20:11

well, me and you are still going out for cocktails tomorrow aren't we, Ariel? I want to hear you drivel on about you darling spawn, can't wait Grin

madwomanintheattic · 07/12/2012 20:12

Andula, I'm really hoping you genuinely don't know what a woolly hug is, and that you don't ever have cause to personally find out.

Might be time to go and play somewhere else, because goading bereaved parents and making shoddy jokes about knitting is a bit sick.

Seriously.

Am now going to hide the thread, because for someone who claims to have a GSOH, I find remarks that could be seen as taking the piss out of dead babies and their families a bit hard to swallow.

Maybe a namechange and a return with a better attitude might be in order.

Know your audience, and all that.

you have to remember, madwoman, that this is someone who thinks Frankie Boyle is hilarious.

I've never understood the appeal MN has to teenage boys.
