Apparently, she wasn’t happy that we felt sorry for her children. And after reading her posts on her childhood, she shares waaay too much, those are things she really needs a therapist to help her through, not MN.
That post was bait. Mentioning here and oversharing. I was pleased to see us mean, horrible tattlers didn't touch that with a 10ft pole.

I think she means the catalogues or whatever it is where she bought things from.

I am hating all the people who use ChatGPT to provide answers on there. Most of the time it's utter rubbish - the person on there who posted a whole bloody page of calculations made me confused and I went to a Russell Group uni!

I'm also feeling incredibly bad about Shithole - having seen what she uncovered about her childhood I can understand why she is like she is.
I wish there was more help available for people, but there are thousands of people like her who just don't meet the incredibly tough criteria to qualify for assistance in any form these days.
I am still on he fence. I could be that SH's misery memoirs only just came back to her after being triggered, or she is noticing the skepism and is upping the ante.

It is the wildly varying degrees or literacy and comprehension that make me doubt, especially in her replies that she may have forgotten to dumb down.

I just read it, that makes more sense - she's worried about him getting into a school which can meet his needs

My dad died peacefully in his sleep. Unlike the passengers on his bus who died screaming in terror.
(Gets coat) 😂
My dad told me that his stepdad died in his sleep. Because it was so unexpected, (he had a heart attack) the police were involved because to the emergency services it was rather suspicious that a seemingly healthy man had just died

She had a thread about this (him getting into a suitable school( a few weeks ago and wasn’t taking much of the advice on board either.

Well my Dad’s ALIVE so thanks very much for making me feel inferior and sad that I can’t join in with the dead dads. You don’t know how lucky you are that’s your dads are dead. Cherish every moment.*





dear Lord, I love my dad, this is a joke please don’t take him from me, thanks

Aww @Limetree, I did think afterwards that I didn't mention live dads (running around in the wild!) or more fractious relationships

On the topic of train wankers, I once watched in large, poor awe as a middle class family brought out their fancy train picnic. It just kept coming! They had olives with little toothpicks to hold them! I felt like a Victorian child peering into the window of a wealthy merchants’ home at Christmastime. I would have felt embarrassed of my shitey cider and crisps if I wasn’t, as previously mentioned, so large and so poor.

My dad died of a heroin overdose at 33 when I was aged 2. Sometimes I like to wheel it out in conversations to make people feel awkward if they've pissed me off 😅 a MN I am not

Someone on S&B is seriously trying to claim that calling a potato sack dress from an Irish brand 'a potato sack dress' is offensive to famine victims.

I'd have been happily sitting opposite them, chomping on my cheese & pickle doorstops,noisily rustling the tinfoil.
Then banging a boiled egg onto the table and peeling it 😃😃😛😛😆

Absolutely not. HTH.
Forgive my ignorance, I know education help for additional needs is hard to come by, but surely a child going to secondary working at a year 1 level would have been picked up by the school and put at the top of the list for help?? that’s quite an extreme situation surely…

I wonder if Shithole did read and see that a few of us suspect troll so she is working harder at the poor me thing she has going.
I hope she is a troll because its too depressing otherwise. She is barely dragging those poor kids up and refuses to accept any help to get them all out of a crap situation.

This is the same child that, after he felt down about not doing well in school, she talked about trying to make him feel better by telling him he’s good at video games or at running. But she was adamant that she would not do reading or anything school-related with him at home to improve his scores. 🙄

And not to be cruel or shaming, but he can’t write his (three letter) name. How is he supposed to manage middle school if she won’t even practice writing his name with him?
