My Neighbour is mowing their grass. They have been at it since 8am.
I don't think this is outrageous. It's a good idea to do it before it gets hot.

My sister in law doesn't like me. I don't like my sister in law. We don't see much of each other.

I'm Facebook friends with a woman who posts loads of pouty selfies and pre/post gym workouts of her great body. She is really beautiful. She posts pictures of her dinners and checks in everywhere she goes. She also posts videos of herself singing in the car and looking sultry.

I don't think she is a narcissistic arsehole. I think good for her. And I haven't unfollowed her. Sometimes I scroll past her posts.

Phlebotomist called someone ahead of me for my GTT this morning. She then called me five minutes later and apologised for forgetting me. I didn't mind and we had a nice chat. Even though she made me drink Lucozade (yuck).

My child was spending all day playing video games instead of revising for gcse. So I took away their console until they had finished their exams.

My mother has just bought a load of stuff for my DCs to do in the holiday. She knows they like cooking so has bought Star Wars ready prepared cupcake mix and lots of neon sugary toppings, no doubt full of E numbers.

My DCs will be very happy and enjoy making them. They will probably take some cakes to my mother. They might even take them round without ringing her first. My mother will be very happy too. We will all eat the cakes.

I forgot to send a birthday card and present for my dads birthday. I phoned him up as soon as I remembered the next day and apologised. He said not to worry, and no big deal.

I named my children without outside help.

MrsJackRackam · 20/07/2016 08:53

I didn't get a birthday card from my friend last week. She has 3 dc under 5 and an utter arse of a lazy shit for a husband so I'm not top priority in her day. I know she'll be there if I need her though.

Some of my Facebook friends post inspirational quotes that don't always resonate with me, but I don't care because I don't even read them.

My neighbours son frequently blocks our shared pathway when hoovering his car. He also has loud arguments with his girl friend and lots of slamming doors. He is annoying and messy leaving bits and pieces from his car on our shared wall which fall into my garden. My sons frequently annoy his dad by kicking balls into his garden. My neighbour and I often while away the time sitting on shared wall moaning about our kids and shrugging our shoulders. We have given each other permission to shout at each other's kids. We had lots of fun when my son smashed his shed window with a football and we made him spend a day tidying said shed..
After all it takes a village and all that.
We are grateful to be housed and fed and these are little things we laugh about.

Ds's school report contained the odd spelling mistake and inconsistency, as well as some text that was about another pupil. I still know more than enough about DS's progress, and can see the reports must have taken ages to write and coordinate at a hot and busy time of year. I don't have to be a teacher to realise this.

If all threads were like this, MN Towers would have to close down AIBU for good!

It would have to be replaced with LABIA (Let's All Be Immensely Accommodating).

My youngest child is off to university next month. I'm really pleased to see them growing up.

80schild · 19/07/2016 23:17

Also my children got their school reports. They are doing well in some areas and badly in others. I am okay with this. I don't expect my children to be geniuses.

My friend posted a sickening picture of her and her DH "enjoying" their anniversary even though he isn't on Facebook and she just wanted everyone to know that she "loves him to the moon and back", except for him.

I am so glad I got to tell this story. It is super cheesy and smug but they are well suited and it made me laugh, so instead of starting a vitriolic thread about smugness, I wished them a happy anniversary.

cuboidal you are making me LOL Grin

There was a young couple on the train with a baby. An older woman stopped to coo and kissed the baby's hand as she left. The parents didn't mind at all.

A woman taking pictures at an attraction asked if I was OK that DS featured in one. I said it was no problem.

My 17 year old son eats grapes.

I used a toilet brush today. I'm still alive.

My step daughter accidentally kicked me in the boob and it still hurts
She also asked if she could sleep in our bed, she was told no (she is 7 and shares a room with her sisters) but then knocked on our door at 3am asking again. I didn't sleep again after that and I am still tired now.

Do acti fry chips taste funny or is it just me?

Olddear · 19/07/2016 22:46

I do my husbands ironing along with own. I do this because he's, y'know, my husband and I love him.

The soap opera I follow has got a bit rubbish. So I stopped following it.
