"I haven't really broken her yet". WTF does that mean?

[LittleBella]

FFS. Why would anyone use that kind of language and that kind of thinking about their 9 year old daughter?

I kid you not, this is what one woman said while discussing our children. I immediately thought about mumsnet and needed to share it...

hope she was joking

sounds like some kind of workhouse/asylum talk to me...?

Could have been a cry for help for ideas in how to cope with whatever problem she has.

it's definitely horsey..as in she hasn't trained her. She sounds embarrassed I think..

Give the poor woman a break - it was just a turn of phrase.

at cry for help
I've also said - several times, but that's because I like to get full mileage from any vaguely humourous remark that my tiny brain can muster - that I'm thinkinng of putting DS on Ebay.
I wonder whether I am the subject of urgent crisis talks at the one o'clock club?

It's definitely not horsey talk. A horsey mother would have said:

"Her mouth's too hard for a snaffle bit." or
"She's a little bugger for refusing the cavaletti." or
"She's not getting the hang of the lunging reign at all."

snicker at Swedes..

then I'd go too far and say, we've called in the knacker.

Blimey. I say that sort of thing all the time.

I also threaten to eviscerate them.

I don't actually mean it
