My mums a right biddy. Right I can roll my school skirt up 3 times to get it short. Maxine says it’s well good and Darren says I have nice legs. But OMG my biddy mum says she can see my breakfast when I bend over! I mean OMG! Really! Says I’m not going out the house like that. She’s so old . She’s 35 and knows nothing about being a teenager. She still used a tin can and string to talk to her old biddy mates. Aibu?

Oh dear lord, you lot have absolutely nothing to whinge about. Yesterday I appeared like a gorgeous sleepy headed little darling (19 and 5,10) at 3PM (, let's agree, middle of the effing night) what do I find.... Dad is playing his crap game on (my) supposedly shared playstation, Mum (she who is EMBARRASSING) is making cakes Grin and they have found the weed me and my mates (still asleep, lucky bastards so didn't witness said behaviour from the embarrassing ones). They had only gone and smoked it!! They don't even tell me to study, clean my room or change my bed any moreHmm apparently I am old enough to sort myself out. Bloody parents. Can't win with them. Keep it up guys, we will win. Bastards Smile also, also when asked what was for breakfast... it's past lunchtime they say, what the fuck! told them I hadn't eaten for hours. You know what they did, rolled around laughing as I been asleep for 12 hours(apparently) and don't get me started on money and house chores. I need money who cares (apart from the embarrassing one) if the place I use as a hotel is tidy. They have also bought me 2 suitcases for my birthday and counting the days til I go to uni. 1 YEAR later than expected. Suffer you parents. I will be back

I'm 16 and at college 3 days a week!

Me too, witches, although I can't even do any of my coursework as they send it to you electronically and I've lost my log in details.

Literally every day my mum is like 'have you sorted your log in yet'? - she's so extra! She should be pleased I'm making friends and socialising with nice people for a change, but instead she keeps going on about how I'm already behind with my work!

I literally don't know what she wants me to do about it - it's not my fault I can't see the work that's being set if they hide it behind a password-protected system...she should blame the college!!

WhiskeySourpuss · 09/10/2017 19:39

This is like the worst holiday evvvvveeeerrrr... bitchface says I can't get a tattoo cause I'm only 17! FFS I only want a tiny heart just under my left tit she's got like a million eight tattoos so fuck knows what her issue is! I'm totally going to sneak out when she's sleeping & get the tattoo anyway it's totally the same as when she got her belly button pierced at 13 without grans permission so she won't be able to say anything!

JustHope · 09/10/2017 19:31

AND she had a go at me for calling her at work when she's busy, it's not like she does anything at work any way, she just sits in an office all day drinking tea.

OMG this is sooo my mum. She’s always moaning that she’s tired and stressed from work when all she does is drink coffee and chat to her mates about Bake Off. I mean why does she even go there if it makes her so moody with me.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 09/10/2017 19:02

My mother keeps telling me to get a job...how unfair is that.
I'm 16 and at college 3 days a week!

Doesn't she understand how tired I am from all that bus transport and doing coursework?

VioletCharlotte · 09/10/2017 18:50

So I called my Mum at work today, cos I was literally starving, and asked her to go to KFC for me on the way home as there's this new burger that looks AMAZING. Bloody bitch said no, we've got food at home. Yeah, but literally NO nice food, all pasta and vegetables and shit, NOONE eats that. AND she had a go at me for calling her at work when she's busy, it's not like she does anything at work any way, she just sits in an office all day drinking tea.

I hate my life.

Walkingdead11 · 09/10/2017 18:37

My old cowbag of a mother actually expects me to get a job at McDonald's or KFC...........ffs is she actually mentally ill or somefink??? I GO there, I couldn't possibly work there.........Im 16, she gets money for me so should surely carry on supporting me till I am an adult.....at 25 ish........I didn't ask to be born!!!

JackieMac77 · 09/10/2017 18:20

OMG, there is worse too. I think my parents still have sex Angry. They are both over 40 - it's totally disgusting and perverted. I found out when I went through mum's drawers looking for evidence searching for my PE kit and found some contraceptive pills. Eeuurgh!! I've been a bit off with them since, and barge into their room without knocking sometimes just so they don't get any ideas. They sicken me.

MissBeehiving · 09/10/2017 18:15

I am the only person in the whole world without an iPhone 8. They hardly cost any money but my parents obviously don't love me enough to get me one. My mother is refusing to accept that my life is OVER. Its soooo unfair.

Tunnocksmallow · 09/10/2017 18:07

Omg my mother is such a tight bitch. She works and gets child benefit for me and like £60 a month from my old man for maintenance. I told her that she should give me the maintenance money cos it is mine to spend when I go in town with my mates, you know I need a cheeky nando’s And costa. The stupid tight cow laughed at me, and said ‘dream on’ Omg she’s like so unreasonable. (Based on my actual dd1)

wineusuallyhelps · 09/10/2017 17:57

My mum bitches on about me needing to actually chew my food...and not eat roast dinner with my bare hands. I mean, nobody got time for that, FFS.

Oh yeah and she grounded me on a night that EVERYONE is going out. Won’t even let me change the day to a day when no one is out. So unfair.

Don’t even mention my dad. He’s a dickhead. Moaning on about £120 being too much for a jacket I’m gonna rip and the answer is no. I’m not exactly gonna wear Primark, am I?!

Oh yeah and this fucking iPhone is shit, who even has one this old?! They need to buy me the 8.

OMG and can’t believe they expect me to pick up my boxers off the bathroom floor Hmm what is up with that?

All I said is can I have a snack? Can I have Nike Huaraches? Can I have money for Pizza Hut? When’s tea? And they went off on one saying “after the way you just spoke to me?!” AIBU?????

gingergenius · 09/10/2017 17:52

Ffs why won’t my mum like just give me the extra cash I need for my fucking PS4 game now? AIBU to think the right cow should respect my human right to my leisure time and not make me wait until I get my next allowance. Ffs she’s expecting to wait and everything. So fucking unfair.

Tunnocksmallow · 09/10/2017 17:12

Omg right, like me and my BFF Shanice, like, love Ed sheeran right. So my mum surprises us with 2 tickets for early Christmas presents, which is unreasonable in itself right. And we are well happy innit, until mum says that her and her BFF are coming too! Like how bad is that?! Oh my days, what even is she chatting on? She says we will make a weekend of it like. Go shopping, stay in nice spa hotel like, but me and Shanice love Ed Sheeran, like how is Ed Sheeran gonna meet us and fall in love with us if mum and auntie Sharon are there too. Like omg I can’t even. We love ed sheeran, mum doesn’t love Ed Sheeran.

I will never live this down like omg

Sunnyshores · 09/10/2017 17:10

Tupperware - youre so right, my cowbag interferes with my school trips too. She said I could go on my geography trip but it was only to Lulworth in Dorset. I know she made the school go there instead of Seychelles. Shes always in talking to teachers about me, trying to stuff up my life. And Im supposed to be pleased we're going to Iceland on a faaaamily holiday. Jeez

Tupperwarelid · 09/10/2017 16:57

Can't believe my parents are having to think about whether or not they can afford to send me on the school trip to the Seychelles! It's only £150,000 for 2 weeks and its really important for my education and my exams to study the culture and the beaches and the food and drink. Just coz they don't want to go further than the stupid Norfolk Broads doesn't mean some of us don't want to explore the world. They both work and have old I-phones so wot do they spend their wages on???

Sunnyshores · 09/10/2017 16:50

JustHope I know right, FFS cowbag is making me go to Iceland with them, Im 15 and totally grown up right? AND if I didnt go she could buy me the new iphone and laptop and neverending 4G data right? AND she'd save money, AND my stupid Sis would be happier, see Im not selfish or ungrateful

Note by cowbag, Im very tempted!!

Potofbobbles · 09/10/2017 16:47

Sanpro obviously!

Potofbobbles · 09/10/2017 16:46

Aibu to think my Mum is over reacting by telling me that she's found a used and covered in blood scanpro in the washing basket in between her and mine and siblings clothes (Envy

JustHope · 09/10/2017 16:30

AIBU to think my mum should just get a cleaner and stop asking me to do stuff like tidy my room or put things in the dishwasher. She’s always saying I should believe in myself, dream big and aim high so why does she want ME to clean?

Also all my friends are going on amazing holidays at half term but we are not going abroad anywhere. It’s so embarrassing, like are we that poor that we cannot go away somewhere cool? People will be like posting cool beach pictures on insta and Snapchat and I will be like such a sad looser at our rental cottage in the country.

Frequency · 09/10/2017 15:50

AIBU to want blonde hair?

I was naturally dark blonde. Then I went brunette. Then I went red and then black and then blue/black.

And then I wanted to be blonde again, as you do. And then blue again. And then blonder. And then purple. Then I had to be brunette again for school.

I've had brown hair for six weeks now. Six whole weeks. It's time to be blonde again.

My mother keeps telling me my hair will break off. Like, why can't she understand, hair dye exists for a reason? I've sent her links to pictures of the kind of blonde I want and she's just ignoring them. I am not being unreasonable.

londonmummy1966 · 09/10/2017 15:45

WWYD my mum is docking my allowance to pay for the PE kit I lost at school. It's only the third one I've lost in the last year. And she has bought massive labels to sew on the OUTSIDE of my new kit "so it won't get lost again". Soooo embarassing...
