Your response to statement I made please?
Answer:
Very cute comeback, That's something I would say. I also say "Hey, if you cant take a joke, then "F" ya all" . She's way to serious for my taste. Just think of how nerotic her kids are going to be and be thankful your the way you are.
Bad taste. To most mothers that is just too serious of an issue to joke about.
Some people are way too serious. I think it was funny. I have a child. I can understand why she would think it was distasteful. But she needs to understand that you were joking and that you love your kids more than anything in the world.
Sounds to me like she's a librarian...
Bad taste. I don't agree with her rules, but you were beyond the bounds of good taste with your comment. Hope your kids don't get your message, no doubt you are giving subtle clues to them also.
I thought it was funny, that is the sense of humor my friends have too.
Remember, some parents are more protective than others. I think it would be okay for your boys to play outside alone in a fenced in backyard...as long as you do check on them.
Everyone parents differently.
oh she was just over reacting...some people just don't have much of a sense of humor
she was over reacting. i think people like her are funny. you aren't good, close friends are you?
when in Rome...
when my sister was pregnant with #3 everyone kept asking her why she wanted another one because she already had a boy and a girl. she said ' what if something happened to one of them?' no one else thought it was hilarious but us. we must have a warped sense of humor.
I think you have a GREAT sense of humor but I have been in similar situations....Some parents are just a bit overprotective.But I guess that is their prerogative.What is life without some humor?...Don't worry about it just try to keep your jokes to yourself next time...Obviously she is not as "free-spirited" about her parenting as you are...
lol, thats really bad, but really funny humor. I think the lady you were talking to is a little uptight. Although it depends what kind of neighborhood you in. I may be alittle paranoid too.
The joke was in bad taste but the children need a little independance to grow. If you let them play in a safe closed place and check on them often I dont see the harm in it
that was legitimately funny. she needed to not take it to seriously. kids are made out of rubber not glass. and you said you check on them, so what;s her deal?!
you have a nice sense of humor..,so funny..
but obviously not everybody likes that sort of humor..
i think its a bit of both,bad taste and over reacting.
anyway hope you didn't lose a friend there.
I dont think it matters what she thinks.. you know you were kidding and that you do not wish harm on your children. My parents used to always go tell me to play in the traffic.LOL If she doesnt understand your humor...maybe you should hang out with people who do!
I too have 3 and 5 year old. I think it was overreacted to but some people are just uptight in that way. Don't sweat over it i don't think it was in bad taste everyone would know it was a joke.
It was a joke, I get it. But unfortunately a lot of stuck up people have no sense of humor. Tell people to lighten up.
She was totally over reacting. My husband and I make jokes like that all the time about our son. We make jokes in front of other people all the time. If they don't like it, oh well! We aren't going to act uptight just because they can't take a joke.
I agree with the other posts here. Kinda a bad joke, but yet all Mother's take thing's in different ways. Some days I'm very serious about my son & other days I need an ice breaker in our ways & do crack a very bad joke. Maybe you should of made it clear that you love your children very much, in case she was too stupid to have noticed.
No that is not bad taste. People need to lighten up and know that you were not serious.. please, how can anyone take that seriously!!
She was overreacting. Don't get me wrong I'm a generally overprotective parent, but even I can take a joke.
i would've laughed because obviously you were joking. I think she just has no sense of humor. I let my son play outside by himself also.
This woman sounds like she has a stick up her bum. There is nothing wrong with letting children play in their own fenced yard without mom and dad breathing down their neck. Does she watch them every second they play in their own room? That is ridiculous. My kids are 6 & 3 and they can play in our yard but it is right off the living room and they are in my direct line of site. If I'm busy then I just check on them every few minutes. But they do not need mom out there every second. If they ask me to come play then I do.
As for your comment, you were obviously joking and I think it was funny. She sounds like a very unhappy person.
You have bad taste. And your spelling's sometimes off, too.
