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?

JustHope do not ever let your mum into Victoria's Secret mine came in with me at the airport & started picking up knickers & saying things like "does this not get stuck up your arse?" "I've got hankies bigger than this" & then just in case that wasn't mortifying enough she bought herself a sheer love spray & actual said to the girl on the checkout "I'll just take this cause you've no granny pants in here".

One day my real mum will come & get me back from this complete fucking embarrassment cause obviously I was switched at birth!

JustHope · 09/10/2017 09:26

OMG my mum just bought me underwear from MARKS & SPENCER! Has she even heard of Victoria’s Secret. I could be bullied for wearing that stuff.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 09/10/2017 09:11

I can't believe my mum makes me do the washing up once or twice a week. I mean, all my mates have dishwashers but no, we don't have enough room in the poxy kitchen. And she asks me to empty the bin in my bedroom and not leave wet towels over the banister. Doesn't she understand that I'm 17 and I am an adult? Bare rude innit.

Nannyplumssillyoldelf · 09/10/2017 09:08

My Mum is such a nag right? Yes I packed my school stuff last night and did all my home work. Not my fault I couldn't find my stupid trainers for games when I was already late for the bus or my bus pass. If that old cow would look after my stuff properly i wouldn't lose it. She then shouted at me because I should have done all this last night apparently. I did pack what I could remember god what more does she expect.

nakedscientist · 09/10/2017 08:56

So I am like totally a grown up at 15 right? So my mum, so lame fam, come in my room in the middle of the actual night, so get this, she starts shouting numbers! Soooo weird, like 7! Then she comes in again, I'm actually like sleeping, and goes 715! And then again 735, what a nutter 745. No idea WTAF she's on about! Finally she like screams 805 and just goes off, to work or something, GOD then I get up and have to find my uniform n ev. If she wasn't sooooo weird and properly left my clean uniform out I could leave the house in -15 secs. She needs to stop screaming AIBU?

regisitme · 09/10/2017 08:53

My bitch of a mother refuses to give me $200 a month for doing nothing, even though I have a job and do nothing around the house. She only pays for my mobile phone, Netflix, Uber Eats, Uber and Spotify. My friend got given her mother's credit card and only spent $2,000. Why doesn't she do that for me? Bitch. It's SO unfair. That Tommy Hilfiger jacket that's completely inappropriate for the season is only $260.

Potofbobbles · 09/10/2017 07:45

My bitch of a mother asked me nicely to not walk to school watching youtube videos. So what if I've nearly got run over before or smashed my phone screen three times doing this exact thing God.

TheWildOnes · 09/10/2017 07:41

My mum only gave me £20 to go to town, WIBU to stop off at Grandads work and hint for more money, Mum thinks I'm unreasonable but Grandad likes giving me money so whatevs.

Oblomov17 · 09/10/2017 07:39

I wish my mum would just F OFF and stop pestering me. Always going on and on about The crisp packets and chocolate biscuit wrapper she finds down the side of my bed.

Always asking me to talk to her and tell her about what’s going on with my friends.

always going on asking me why I’m lying about stuff?

and why I’m not revising / and I could do better at school / i’m not reaching my potential....

Why doesn’t she just fuck off and leave me alone? Hmm

Grinbrilliant thread!

youarenotkiddingme · 09/10/2017 07:15

AIBU to think my mum thinks she's actually clever or something?
I had physical problems with my hands so have never been able to wash up because I get sooooo upset when I drop bowls and smash them. So yesterday when I asked mum to wash up a bowl she asked how come I do it after food tech at school.
So I point out they use a brush on a handle and not a sponge.
So the totally unreasonable woman actually bought some at the supermarket and has just announced i should wash my own bowl up after breakfast.
I mean wtaf? I made my own breakfast and she's going to be out there making our lunches in a bit anyway so she could do it then!

nakedscientist · 09/10/2017 06:58

So like its gonna be my 18th. I want a sick party with my mates so I ask the 'rentals to, you know, like go out and give us my house. I mean I'm 17 and they're totally, actually OLD. And to pay for the party and booze, obvs, like I don't work so how can I? I AM DOING MY HOMEWORK, like they want me to, Duuuuuuhhhhhhh! So I'm like GOD when they say THEY want to be there, if they're going to pay, GOD such money heads, its all they bang on about. AND they are saying stuff about trashing the house I mean who actually does that?LIke no one Ive ever heard of? I can't do working and A levels anyway (too busy watching films with BF and oh yeh and school and tidying up room and on fleek eyebrows/eyeliner). SO they are wanting, ugh, family and DGM to come and maybe some of THEIR friends that (they say) have known me all my life, how embarrassing and lame. So 'D'M gets all DRAMATIC and EMOTIONAL and actually CRIES, ugh, she looks soooo moist and dead when she does this. 'D"F took her stupid side too, WTAF? I said I'd let them take me for an expensive meal or something, I don't actually care, later like? And Big sis is taking me and my mates clubbing too, sooo cool. Anyway she's on my actual case 24/7 about a date for the party thing and I don't KNOW? So I said/screamed what have I actually DONE??????? So SHE starts banging on about gratefulness and the TONE of what, like , I said (like I don't understand WHAT T F she's actually TALKING about.) So, GOD, I've LET them have a party for me in the end, on the SATUDAY and She's like taking Friday off work or something to set it up, cook and decorate (I'm mean I can't just take a DAY OFF when I want so I'm doing her an actual FAVOUR) I'm so like making a compromise, tho and I will let them KNOW it, AIBU?

This thread is so unfair!

Emilybrontescorsett · 09/10/2017 06:49

My mum told me to stop waking her up at 6am on a Sunday morning g cos she's asleep!!!y God she's actually in bed!!! Wtf is wrong with her. I only rang her cos I wanted a lift home after a heavy session and even though I was only up the road it's like cold.
She told me at 18 if I ever did it again she kick me out!!!
Bloody hell she really needs to chill out. She can always sleep through the day it's not like you have to sleep at night or anything.

Emilybrontescorsett · 09/10/2017 06:41

My mother actually told me to stop ringing her from my bedroom to tell her to fetch me a drink up!!!!!!
I mean how else is she going to know I'm thirsty? It's not like I can actually walk to the kitchen myself and pour my own drink is it?
Also she's always coming into my room and opening the curtains it's only 3 on the afternoon!! Wtf and then telling me that my window needs opening cos it smells.

Mum2OneTeen · 09/10/2017 06:32

AIBU to demand that my dad lets me drive the entire 15 miles into town every morning so I don't have to catch the school bus to school every day even though he doesn't have to go to town at all and will just turn around and drive home again.

I reeaalllyy want to get my L driving hours up, and who wants to catch a manky school bus anyway....

WhiskeySourpuss · 09/10/2017 06:23

Kill me now please...

The stupid fucking cow is flirting with the cute waiter at breakfast what a fucking beamer Blush like he's really interested in her she's like nearly 40 ffs I totally should've gone to Maga with Kianna & Morgan but she who must be obeyed wouldn't pay for it & said I couldn't go anyway cause I'm ONLY 17... so I was like "eh we live in Scotland ya muppet I could move out & get married if I want" & she was like "well feel free you want a hand to pack?" fucking bitch probably just wants rid of me so she can drink wine every night instead of being my taxi

OMG my bitch mother from hell arranged a trip to the Opera House, "smart casual dress" whatever TF that is to a show I wanted to see. So I put on my best push up overly padded bra and a plunging deep v-neck t-shirt, the girls were just about under my chin and at least a third covered up.

Everyone on Insta said I looked on fleek. My eyelashes do not look like something a drag queen would wear either, the school was well out of order.

Bitch cow came in and said that we weren't going to a strip club and to wear something suitable. I slammed the door in her face. She has no idea.

She's also asked me to stop calling her 'bro' FGS. AIBU.

WhiskeySourpuss · 09/10/2017 05:19

tinytemper66 · 09/10/2017 04:24

That biddy teacher made me walk, yes walk across the classroom to get a pen. She said she weren’t gonna pass me one and what did her last slave die off?!

tccat · 09/10/2017 02:58

Oh also overheard the bitch laughing about me with my dad, something about "McDonald's eyebrows"

TheVanguardSix · 09/10/2017 02:31

AIBU to want to throw my dad's router in the bin and set fire to it? He blocked my internet access because I spent 12 hours on the computer!!!! I have a life. I have mates. My mum and dad do nothing at all and are probably jealous because I actually have a social life and have mates to game with for 12 hours on a Saturday!!!

onceisok · 09/10/2017 02:27

Projecting a bit. Grin

onceisok · 09/10/2017 02:25

I want to go to Glastonbury because a 20 year old I'm dying to shag is going and I want to take lots of drugs.

Dad says I can't because I'm only 15. I HATE him.

SleightOfMind · 09/10/2017 02:20

So, like my mum, right, she's been, like doing my head in about all this annoying shit she Just randomly wants me to do.
It's all totally fucked up and doesn't make any sense, like 'dishwashers' and shit.
Anyway, I thought, if I just ignore it she'd stop picking on me.
So she only goes completely mad and turns off the Wifi!
I mean, who does that? Right?
I told her I needed a new phone last week and she didn't get it, did she? I didn't go and turn off the electricity did I?
And Wifi's, like, waaaay more important than electricity to me because I'm actually trying to do my A-levels. She knows this.

I'm not the one who's being unreasonable, right?
