    Someone ought to tell my husband that his sense of humour isnt the same as everyone elses cause he sure as heck dont listen to me. He upset my daughter last week over his so called sense of humour. He did it again on Sunday with our son.

    Maybe when we are old and decrepid and no longer see our children he'll wonder why...... the thing is, i wont see them either.

    You can say that again.

    I have now got my precious muslin soaking in soda crystals and my jam pan is clean. My own wine brew is back in it's rightful bucket and is starting to ferment. I have eaten one cream cracker with mature cheddar and all is well with the world again.

    Oh my good god, it is SO frustrating!

    Before I had my daughter, the ex wanted to find out 'what it was' (his words). I didn't, but agreed as long as he didn't tell a SOUL. Course, he didn't actually deign to come to the scan himself, so I sent him a text afterwards. When I saw him an hour later, EVERYONE knew :wall:

    When I was thinking about getting a new car, his whole family knew before I'd ever taken the thing for a test drive.

    I have learnt not to confide in OH if one of our offspring does some minor annoying thing - he manages to turn it into WW3 whilst "having a quiet word" and I end up raging with him whilst trying to placate the offspring....:rotfl:


    Me 3 ;)

    I have the same problem with my mother in law. she doesn't blurt things out. She's just so rubbish at lying she gives the game away.

    I was planning oh's 40th and told her what I was going to do, could she help, she agreed. Fine i thought. Until something not important sprang to her mind and she thought she better ring me, except I'm not in.

    I come back home, oh asks if I'm planning x for his 40th, I'm a bit confused that he knows I'm even planning it. I ask how, he says his mum rang asking to speak to me. He said i wasn't in could he help she said "No, it's women's problems!!!":wall: causing the man who always works out the ending of every film that's ever had a twist to guess what we're doing for his birthday.

    Women's problems !!!!!! - when was the last time anyone ever used that as an excuse!!! :mad::mad::mad:

    When I had just given birth to my 4th baby, a girl after 3 boys, my husband said he was nipping out to the loo. I told him not to phone anyone as I wanted to tell my Mum myself, that after 6 grandsons, she had a granddaughter. What did he do? Phone both sets of parents to tell them. :mad: After all my hard work I wanted to be the one to tell my parents. I would have let him tell his parents anyway - just let me tell mine. But no, even after being asked not to! My daughter is now 16 and I still haven't forgotten!
