Howdy!!!! Squirrel 3 and I have decided that as we are a bit nutty, we'd like to set up the Nutty Stepmum's Club or NSC. If anyone would like to join us, please add to this post and prove that we are not the only nutters out there!

We would like to add a little bit more nuttyness to our already insane lives!!!!

That's it they've had enough work out of me today

Just under an hour to go, it's absolutely pi**ing down outside but it's the weekend so not grumbling

Squirrel3 · 21/10/2005 15:34

Just getting me big pants at the ready.

Hope BM doesn't have a go, its not fair on your dd.

NotActuallyAMum · 21/10/2005 16:20

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Squirrel, really hope you hear from your dd - and do try to enjoy your first proper weekend on your own with your DP

Saturday evening

I didn't serve the 'special' mushroom soup, but I do wish I had, it might've made things more bearable!!!

Our guests arrived with their two year old in tow! I really didn't expect that!

The meal was OK (would have been much nicer if they hadn't been an hour late!!)

But this couple are "in awe of the cuteness" of their child and thought that it was really cute when he decided that his toy 'horsey' wanted to play in my dinner whilst I was trying to eat it!!!

The 'cute' kid then got down from the table and decided to play underneath, with my feet!!

The couple just let 'his cuteness' run riot and do exactly as he wanted, and he wanted to do loads, VERY LOUDLY!

We couldn't hear each other unless we shouted at one-an-other. Not being one that shouts (and still suffering a bit having not recovered from this chest infection completely) I kind of gave up and left the talking/shouting to dp. (I couldn't really hear what the woman was saying anyway as she is very quietly spoken.)

Towards the end of the evening I had a pounding headache, when 'his cuteness' jumped up on his mums lap and said "booby", she then proceeded to breast feed this two year old!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't quite believe it, I am not against breast feeding in public, I used to do it myself if I had to, but I did do it discreetly, no boobs flapping about in the breeze for me!!!! And I stopped feeding them when they got teeth (ouch!!).

When they decided to leave I was so relieved, they then just spent ages just gazing at 'his royal cuteness' as he sat on the stairs and just giggled at us all (got to admit, he has got a really cute giggle) until the father said to mother "come on, lets go then". Mother replied "Oh I'm sorry; I was just admiring his cuteness".

OMG, pass me a bucket!!!!!

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 10:58

Oh yes, did I mention DP still has a bite mark from when the two year old 'very cutely' sunk his teeth into is leg!

At which point Dad did say "if he bites you do tell him off".

As if, dp could tell him off, he'd probably get lynched by his Mum!!

tarantula · 24/10/2005 11:15

PMSL Sorry Squirrel sounds like it was hell to go through but very funny to hear about afterwards. Yep def think the mushroom soup would have been a very good idea. Cant believe they turned up with a child in tow without any warning. did your dp know that the kid was coming? Hope the rest of your weekend went better.
We had a lovely time. Went to SIL on Sat for FIL 75th b'day party. Had a great time. Really good party. We took our nephew back with us as he gets on really well with dss and they are having a whale of a time together. Went for a long muddy walk through the park yesterday and picked sweet chestnuts and some wood for the fire. sat round last night toasting marshmallows and chestnuts Lovely!!!

tarantula · 24/10/2005 11:16

Oh dear a mini jaws as well. Just think in 3 years time youll turn on the telly to see them on super Nanny or LA saying 'but hes always been such a cuty where did it all go wrong??'

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 11:25

No, dp had no idea that the 'cutie pie' was coming. Its good I can laugh about it, at least it won't be remembered for my bad cooking!

Your weekend sounds lovely, toasting mashmellows and chestnuts, sounds delicious mmmmmmmmmm!

tarantula · 24/10/2005 11:32

yeah it was great (once the fire got going- wood was a bit damp) and the best bit is that I dont have to clean the grate out this morning as Im here at work he he. I do so love a nice fire!!!

Pyromanic?????moi???? Never!!

Do tell us more about wee cutiepie. Cheers me up no end. Are you going to be seeing him again.

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 11:48

I love a real fire but we have do with having it in the garden, we have a fire pit that we fire up in the evenings late summer, dp's a bit of a Pyromanic too.

Talking of fire's, cutie pie loved my fire place, deciding that it was a brilliant place to 'slide' (its marble, and he had socks on), I kept thinking "He's going to fall and hurt himself, he is, he his". Bang! Scream! He did!

Did it deter him? No way, he kept on banging and crashing on the fire, I tried to distract him by getting him to come over and show me 'horsey' and he did come over and he gave me a hug (which was kind of cute) but thats when he reached over and somehow bit dp's leg! Wee cutie pie insisted on feeding the fish (and tried to stroke one) also he fed my very elderly cat (more like terrorised the poor thing).

The next morning I said to dp "The next time you decide to invite them over for dinner, please don't!"

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 12:19

I'm not sure if I should reveal the most shocking part of this whole saga as 'cutie pie's mum (if she see's this) will def recognise herself and be hurt that not everyone thinks he is as cute as she thinks he is and I will have to do some quick grovelling and appologising for letting the world know the 'real' cutie pie!

ninah · 24/10/2005 12:30

oh go on squirrel, do! pmsl at 'admiring his cuteness'! change your name if you have to ...

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 13:42

Hello ninah, I don't know if I am brave enough to tell the most shocking part yet but I will tell you that cutie pies mother (to add to his cuteness) will not get his hair cut. He does have beautiful curly bonde hair, but she sometimes puts it up in a pineapple (you know a little pony tail on the very top of his head!!!)

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 13:42

The poor kid looks like a girl!!!

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 14:43

The most shocking part of the saga is...

Well...

You will never guess who cute kid's Dad is?...

tarantula · 24/10/2005 14:59

DP's ex BIL!!!!!!

Yes I had BM's brother over for dinner!!!!!

tarantula · 24/10/2005 15:08

Blimey

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 15:10

Think BM sent him over to spy on me and 'his cuteness' to wind me up!

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 15:14

I can just see it, they probably had to fill in a questionare from BM when they got back...

To be fair dp was best friends with BIL before he married the ex.

Squirrel3 · 24/10/2005 15:16

Yes, I've done it! I've shocked you Tarantula!!!

tarantula · 24/10/2005 16:02
