An angry Mumsnet user says they plan to end their friendship with a couple they know after their son spent the night in A&E having banged his head on a pole-dancing pole in their sitting room.

The user, named FieldsOf, launched the bizarre rant earlier this month about two friends they call 'Tom and Ann'.

They claim Ann has started pole-dancing and Tom has erected a pole in the middle of their sitting room, which she uses for 'pole parties'.

Their son then had to go to hospital after running into the pole.

"Tom and all the other husbands love it and will just sit there while their 'amazing' wives are 'exercising' while they sit there toasting each other with their beer," says the post.

"Anyway, this morning I get a text from Ann saying their DS (dear son), who's walking and bolting around now, ran into the pole and was in A&E all night!

"She sent me a photo and he has a massive golf-ball size lump on his forehead with lots of bruising already. She told the doctor he hit it on the doorframe.

"They are 'okay' parents but generally seem to want to change very little in their lives since DS came along. TBH (to be honest) this friendship has been on its way out for a long time on my behalf anyway, this is the cherry on the cake.

"AIBU (am I being unreasonable) to say this is: incredibly selfish, dangerous, dishonest, bit weird and generally just pretty grim?"

The debate on Mumsnet

But the complaint fell largely on deaf ears in the Mumsnet community.

"It's just not your business really. The child is not being abused or neglected, he had a little accident. The parents can have a hobby if they want to. If you don't like them you can stop calling them, but just breaking up a friendship because you don't like their hobby or home decor seems weird to me," said ViciousJackdaw.

"“Okay” parents??? But haven’t changed enough for their child??? You don’t even sound like a friend in the first place!" replied Rainwilds.

Venger's response was: "Their home, their choice what they do in it. The toddler could just as easily run into a coffee table in the middle of the floor. I'd end the friendship though as it sounds as if you don't like them much and have drifted apart."
