A friend of mine messaged me today..we are going to a gig next weekend. We bought the tickets months ago. A friend of hers from home (i'm a uni friend) is now planning a bbq for the evening of the gig. She has asked me to find to ask any other friend to go to the gig and she will give them her ticket as she hasnt seen this friend from home in a while. I should say my friend lives in her home village and the gig is in our uni city 30 mins away.

I'm pissed off as I feel like a weeks notice to someone for a gig and asking someone else now makes it obvious that they are just a backup option. Plus she is prioritising a bloody bbq over a gig. She went to great lengths to say she wont leave me down and if I can't find someone else she will go. As if she is doing me a favour.

I also have a lot going on at the moment which she is well aware of and the last thing I want to be doing is contacting friends to find a replacement gig buddy for the night. Am I right to be annoyed?
Definitely right to be annoyed. It's such a weak reason, it could piss it down on that day and there'd be no BBQ (if there even is one at all). I'd try your best to get someone else to go with you and forever put her in the 'flaky friend' category. Gigs are expensive, not something that can just be dropped a week before by people.

He is a manager so could be! I'd murder him if he dared sell my car 😡 I think he's the one doing the nesting with the baby due 😂 he's measuring space in the garage now to put some storage in!

Your husband's definitely on one lately.
I know some husbands the same. One dragged an expensive fridge freezer out on to the pavement 18 months after they'd bought it, I forget the reason why.
Another has a long suffering wife he's sold her favourite car for a sports car, the 3 piece suite, the dining suite etc etc. I would frankly have murdered him/or refused to go to work ever again, as he can't be trusted not to sell the house whilst she's out.
My dad says it's quite common with the managerial type who are used to making snap decisions. So they'll sell furniture/cars if they're passing a furniture shop/ dealership and they see something they like better or someone admires something they're bored of.

Children in adverts/dramas/films, etc, being given lines/parts which supposedly portray the child as being either gutsy, funny or oh-so-cute - when they're really coming across as unlikable, precocious little smart-a brats.

Yet another reason to stay single. Keep your bleeping hands off my tit.

My husband is a serial hoarder. He keeps some rit. Yet complains about how there is so much stuff everywhere. I am quite minimalist. I have fantasies about skips and binning it all!

We sound similar but I manage to rein in his hoarding a lot, or I just sell it on Vinted and he doesn’t even notice 😂
I have told him in the past that if he dies before me I will be ringing a skip hire company before the funeral directors!

I honestly don't understand what people find to talk about for ages on the phone,I avoid phone calls at all costs.Its more facetime I see now,my son's bad for this with his friends,I don't need to see people or be seen when I am slobbing around with my hair all over the shop.A what's app is sufficient lol

When I got the house back after running away from ex, he vanished for a year. Let me tell you there was some of his box collection and thousands of models that didn’t make it.

Parents who can’t let their primary age kids sort out their own friendship disagreements.
Just had a mum message me saying her son told her my son called him large. I asked my son about it and he denies it. He got so upset. And I believe my son. But these boys are pretty much besties but I think parents messaging other parents makes the situation worse.
what am I supposed to say to this mum now? Your boy is lying? For duck sake!!!!!
I have many children and teenagers in my life and nearly all of the boys call each other large. The less large they are, the more they call each other large 🤷🏻‍♀️ actually i’ve just realised my husband and his friend also do this (and they also call each other baldy) and they are in their 40s so i don’t think it ever changes 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyway not saying your son said that but even if he did she’s going to be very busy messaging other mums on his behalf if that offends them!

This is so true,my son and his mates have always done this,and they continue to in their mid 20s,his girlfriend gets upset about it,as she takes it to heart. Unfortunately it's just boys as cliche as that is

That people don't seem to realise not everyone has a lot of family, and not everyone has someone they can call on if needed. Being able to ask family for support or childcare has come up a few times lately and it's making me rather cross because I shouldn't have to go into so much explanation that there is no-one .

My husband is absolutely nesting harder than me this time round. He‘s ordering new things left right and centre.

Works for me as I’m finally getting the new American style fridge freezer I’ve wanted for years but I do feel like I should do more than sort out a couple of cupboards :D
