All this holiday panic has reminded me of that mental bbc 3 show, sun sex and suspicious parents. It’s like the ideal mumsnetter holiday, where they can follow their children around secretly, judge everything they do, then confront them at the end and give them a massive bollocking. Wonderful!

That programme was all kinds of wrong. Poor kids. Batshit parents. Your first holiday abroad with your friends is meant to be a drunken shagging fest FFS.

Her 6 year old said she felt her personal space was being invaded? Did she really 🤔?!!!!

I wondered that.

I'm surprised the little Madam didn't have words with the TA herself. Surely as an ambryo Mumsnetter, she should by now be at the stage of tilting her head and saying "Did you mean to be so rude?", (though possibly a little young to remember to add the tinkly laugh). If she didn't get an appropriate (chastened) response, she could then follow it up by striding purposefully to the headteacher's office, rapping briskly on the door and walking in to state her case.

I think that child needs to be assessed for MN-intellectual delay.
 
Years ago, when I was first dating the my partner, he took me home to meet his parents. His mum, God bless her, had a form of dementia and would often say the quiet part out loud. I’m fat, and when we’re talking about cars once his mum piped up with ‘And what about her, does she fit in cars?’ Everyone was horrified but I was killing myself laughing as it was just so funny (and I will hasten to add that I am not that big that I need to be moved in an articulated truck … :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO: )

I'll never forget the lad asking his mum for more money for the library but really it was for lap dances 🤣🤣

One of my old lady neighbours (proper old, 90+, not Mumsnet old at 61) told me yesterday I looked 'bonny and big' - I think she was paying me a compliment.

Don't forget the Mumsnet stare.

Child: Stare
TA: Bursts into noisy tears
Child: Stare
TA: Resigns from job forthwith and runs away

Never saw the show but do these people not remember what it was like to be a teenager?

Why on earth is she terrified about that? My middle kid has just got back from 10 days in Portugal and Spain on his own, obviously I was shitting myself with fear as he is only 26, just a mere baybee :rolleyes:
Those fuckers want to make up their minds, either they want their kids to duck off at 18 or they want to install a tracker on their adult kids in case they fall prey to people traffickers

i have noted that biological kids get chucked out the door at 18, or forced to pay board and do their own washing and cooking. Step mums however, must accept adult children at any age, allow them to live rent free and take care of their every need, it’s the least they could do for the poor child.

My 20 year old still lives with me, although she is off to uni this year. She has recently started sneaking her new, apparently first serious, boyfriend in at night. I am finding it rather amusing and am enjoying playing along. It’s only been a couple of times so not intrusive and no one else has noticed, particularly younger sibling. This way I don’t need to be “cool mom” or start laying down rules, because I actually don’t know which side of the fence I sit 😂. I don’t have a problem with it as she’s 20 and about to move abroad, but I also feel if formal permission were sought I’d have to say no.

Maybe it would make a good mn thread 😂. I can just see the responses now 😂 cummulating in I should make her move out this instant..

Change the locks, pack her bags and leave them on the doorstep, how dare she abuse your good nature like this? Go NC until she is at least 45.
