Just when the AIBU posts on Mumsnet can’t get any more ludicrous, one woman has raised concerns about how her children’s father has seemingly fed them ‘badger with rice.’
The poster Loulamummy is now worried in case her children have contracted TB.
I’m not joking. We are separated and he sees them for the day once every few weeks. Last week he took them for the day in London and when I picked them up they told me, very casually, that Daddy had given them badger with rice for lunch.
He had sent me a picture a few days earlier of a dead badger so it is totally plausible, and given that he has been homeless for the last couple of years and often ‘lives off the land’ I am certain he would not think twice about eating a badger. He told the kids that he steamed the meat for 4hrs but now I’m really worried about the whole TB thing. They seem fine but not sure if I should get them checked out. Any words of wisdom?
But it’s prompted scornful replies, from Aren’t your kids old enough to say ‘ugh Dad that’s gross I’m not eating badger?’ to I’m very intrigued about he managed to prepare a feast of steamed badger whilst being homeless.
Loulamummy then replies, saying: I am so seriously not joking. The kids are 7 and 9 and said they really liked it. I wouldn’t be concerned except that badgers often carry TB. Their dad has set up a ‘camp’ with cooking facilities etc. in the woods somewhere.
Another day of Mumsnet Madness.
