My daughter in law is inept and useless as a mum.

Don't feel like a dick! That situation you described was horrific and shouts control freak

Feel a bit of a dick now, just seen the date of the first post

Sorry, seems I only read the first page

My nasty s.i.l, when he first meet my D; I came in from work and he was holding my D on the settee, to stop her going to my little GD,who was hysterical by that time in her cot, I don't know how long she had been like that, but feel it was a lot long than 10mins, my D was really distressed in being stopped to go to her baby, he said it was the way to go! I'm having nightmares now, re-living that scene! My poor little GD

Your d.i.l sounds like a lovely loving mum to me Modesty Take a look at 'cut out of their lives, that could be you if you do not become more mindful for your d.i.l & S's way of bringing up their child, and well said myfan & Grumpy

No. Alright!

Don't think asking someone a couple of questions can be counted as "cross examining" jingl (hardlythespanishbloodyinquisition.com)

I am full of sugar too. Mine was in the form of a very jammy jam sandwich.

Hope you the site enjoyed the cake break Cari.

Oh for heaven's sake! She was probably just looking through old Am I Being Unreasonable threads. Don't start cross examining poor woman.

Odd indeed, Nellie and by a new member. At least I think Gran2014 is new, haven't seen any other posts from her, but could be wrong, often am!

Welcome Gran2014 if you are new, tell us a bit about yourself, we don't bite! Wondering what made you decide to post on this particular thread?

Talk about a blast from the past! I find it very hard to see how such a very old post has come to be resurrected for no obvious reason.
It all sounds very odd indeed to me.

No problem Ana, I didn't think you were being rude!

Gransnet is going so slow at the moment. Unless it's me.

It had been 'zombied', but Gran2014 and those of us who replied brought it back to life!

(PS phoenix, your second post wasn't there when I made my 'er' comment! Sometimes these timing delays can be embarrassing - I didn't mean to sound so rude! )

BTW, Caris comment was on the previous page.

It had been zombied, but was brought back to life earlier today.

Yeah. Found it now. Thanks.

She said this jingl

Thanks for your concerns: as there hasn't been any response from Modesty to the thread she started it may be time to let this one go. The easiest way to do this is not to add any more posts to it - that way it will no longer be active

Just read the OP. So obviously a Mumsnetter wind-up.

Wonder why it has n't been "zombied".

I wish Anno had put a link. I want to know what Cari said!

Er...yes, quite.

Ooops! I was a bit slow with my posting there, Ana

Erm Gran2014, the last post on this thread until yours was in October 2011 !!

I would have hoped that the "problem " has been resolved, especially as the child mentioned will now be over 3 years old.

Well, the 'baby' must be four by now so I'm sure they've sorted things out!
