Has anyone threatened to call SS on the OP yet?
I bloody wish I could have fobbed my kids off with breakfast cereal in their stockings.
Has anyone threatened to call SS on the OP yet?I'm waiting for the coco pops in Xmas stocking thread to start a pile on. So far no one has mentioned it's like giving your child cocaine and this is why we have an obesity crisis.
I don’t believe any sweater never needs washing, especially as Mumsnetters are always going on about smelling of wet dog. I bet people back away in disgust when she saunters into work, showcasing her Celtic sweater"Celtic sweater. So warm. And never needs washing. It's as if it self cleans!"
From WAYWT... either it smells really bad, or she's very neat and tidy and never spills anything down herself. My money's on the first.
Do you think so? My older sister stopped talking to me 12 years ago and I’m still not 100% sure why, I haven’t seen or had any contact with her or her family since 2011, I did miss her in the early days but I don’t often think about her anymore. To be honest life has been quite peaceful and straightforward without the drama. My younger sister also decided to ‘take sides’ and cut me off too but again it hasn’t affected me particularly, there have been no big life events such as weddings or funerals to attend.There are times when no contact is best (it used to be called estrangement) but in most of these cases, they aren't actually going NC, they're just refusing to speak to someone, which is actually a very different thing with a different purpose (manipulation). In the cases where a family member is an arsehole but not in some actually life-ruining way, it's often better just to go low contact if you truly want the least drama that causes the least trouble for innocent family members. Not always, of course, but very often, and certainly with many of the cases presented on MN.
Obviously I don't know what happened, but yes, if you'd done something to upset your sister and she wasn't prepared to talk about it, then I think your family would have suffered far less if she'd simply seen and spoken to you less, and been civil if not actually affectionate. A dramatic cutting off like that is intended to cause trouble, and it did. Low contact rather than no contact.Do you think so?

Don’t get me wrong it is sad when families are fractured - but for me I think I just had no choice but to accept that this is what my siblings wanted, if we did reconcile what’s to say it wouldn’t have happened all over again? And I don’t have the time for it!
We don't have anything to do with 3 members & life's much better for all of us without, hand on my heartDo you think so?

I cut off my half siblings due to their behaviour. We never had a relationship and since our shared parent died, they only cared about a massive inheritance that was never there. Not once did they reach out at the funeral or after. They spend their life sharing horrible statuses about me on Facebook while I’ve moved on. I have some amazing friends who have always been auntie and uncles to my children unlike them.Do you think so?

Celtic sweater? She means an Aaran jumper right? That we sell to tourists for stupid prices."Celtic sweater. So warm. And never needs washing. It's as if it self cleans!"

I was wondering what the feck a Celtic jumper was when it was at home too. I could only imagine a Fair Isle jumper or some sort of Aran jumper or similar cable knit geansaí/ gansey/ guernsey.Celtic sweater? She means an Aaran jumper right? That we sell to tourists for stupid prices.
I got one as a present years ago and it was itchy as fuck, hated the thing.
There’s nothing quite like a sour ‘pit smell in a greasy jumper
In S&B, 'unsure what to wear to a party'. OP posted a link to a dress that she likes. It's £3700
