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?

AIBU that I refuse to wear a coat to school in December? My mum says I am but she is well lame innit.

I’m 17 and fed up off the fact my mum wants me in at 10pm on School nights! She’s ok if I am working though! Then on weekends she gets grumpy about my times!

I came in 90 minutes early last night! She kept asking me why I had grass all over me. I couldn’t work my key either in the door and then had to phone my bro to open it for me. My mum asked me if I was drunk when I walked backwards in to the bathroom! As if I was drunk, I only shared some alcohol with my friends! Then I could hear her laughing when the bathroom door wouldn’t unlock for me!

I got her back... I set my alarm for 5am then complained my dad had wakened me too early as I wasn’t working until 8am!

AIBU that I don’t reply to her over the grass?

Yeah, thank God for Grandmas, LonginesPrime. Luckily my nana also steps in when she sees the emotional and financial abuse the parents subject me to. The other week I had to spend a little extra (£20 give-or-take..) at Starbucks after school as my BFF was literally going through hell because the guy she liked had mugged her off, so obvs we all needed to be there for her, and talk it through over pumpkin spice lattes each day. Bitch mother discovered I'd dodged the Explorer Scouts trip to a climbing wall and kept the subs as I needed to reapportion funds, so docked my pocket money. Cow.
Luckily Nana came up trumps with hugs and a tenner. I love my Nana. Bitch mother has now redirected her rage at Nana.

AIBU to think my mum is so rude, she asks me why I'm playing games on the internet and not doing my homework but it's not due in till Tuesday what a bitch.

Looneytune253 · 08/10/2017 11:57

Omg my Mam is like so mean. Every day she makes us meat and vegetables and if I dare to complain about the meat (I hate meat) she loses her shit and then takes away the meat and makes me eat the vegetables. Ffs gammon is my fave meat out of all the meats and she takes it away!! (Actual scenario)

LakieLady · 08/10/2017 11:56

I'm really, really ill. I'm so ill, that when I got home last night, I puked all the way up the stairs. My bitch of a mother INSISTED that I clear up all the puke, even though I WAS LITERALLY DYING of food poisoning and she accused me of being sick because of drinking too much - I'd only had like, 6 Jagerbombs, ffs.

Now she won't take me to A&E and I'm REALLY REALLY ILL. I think I must have a brain tumour because my head is agony and every time I eat or drink I just chuck up, like proper PROJECTILE VOMITING. She'll be sorry when she finds me dead in my bed.

I'm 16, am I too old to ring Childline?

Oh and because we live in a DUMP my parents are looking for a bigger house. They found one they like but now the idiots have ruined it by saying I can't have the master suite to myself. FFS!!! Don't they know I need more privacy than anyone else and obviously I need the biggest bedroom to make videos for my you tube channel, I mean, dur!
After all there is another bathroom that my stupid parents and pointless sister and any of their stupid guests can all share SO WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE TO MYSELF??? They even think they have the right to decide because they are paying!!! The most selfish thing I've heard EVER!

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 08/10/2017 11:48

My parents laughed at me for telling them, "I ain't gonna bother with school anymore as I'm gonna go on x-factor 'n' win and i'll be a billionaire within a week" ATBU?

drinkswineoutofamug · 08/10/2017 11:43

My mum complained about a smell coming from my room. Couldn’t smell anything. Anyways she goes in, invades my private space wearing rubber gloves coz she likes to be dramatic . Then goes sick at me coz she found a half eaten kebab under me bed. Wondered where that went. The bitch then made me empty me bin and take all the plates down stairs ffs there were only 6. She complains I collect pizza boxes too

My stupid mother asked what was up so I told her there was beef going down at school because some of the road men got kicked off the grime channel. She said she had no idea what i was talking about. FFS she knows NOTHING!

whatsthepointinwasps · 08/10/2017 11:40

Well....my DM is SUCH a hypocrite right?

She expects me to do things for myself when she's working (always like moaning bout 'making ends meet', like that's just SO DRAMATIC) She doesn't understand that my gaming is like WORK- its gonna make my fortune cause like I'm getting my own you tube following an I'll make SO much money that I can build my own like house (I showed her that other guy's post, the one where he is actually building the fecking house FGS - she just started droning on about 'statistics' ' not safe or realistic', after we had we had a discussion shouting at her cause she wound me right up with her like NEGATIVITY she still was banging on at me about balance an priorities! I mean she is such a downer right?
I mean why should I clean up my room when there are friends online depending on me, getting up levels and collecting followers is like SO vital, WTAF is there not to understand!!

Anyway if she thinks the smell from my room 'makes the hall stinky' she should shut the door to my room after INVADING MY PRIVACY FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME. My time , my room - human right's say I can do what I want.
Right so get this - today she's nagging on about taking the dog out before I go bowling with Fraser, wtf she can do it it's her day off!!
So next she says something about ' ironing' omg SUCH a MARTYRE like I am allowed no free time or pleasure....Ok so its my dog but I've not seen Fraser in ages and she should be more reasonable.
Its unfair and hypocritical right that she expects me to do stuff when she can do it herself on her day off....its U of her not to be more understanding of like my needs ffs
AIBU to just leave the dog shut in my room as she's made me late with her nagging? Plus I cant take the dog out anyway as I've not charged my phone so can't listen to my music-I mean like HELLO????

AIBU to tell my Mum to STFU about my eyebrows. They are on point. My BFF says they are fleeky and Zane said I look peng ting, so the bitch knows nuffing.

drinkswineoutofamug · 08/10/2017 11:37

It’s great getting off my chest every bloody argument I’ve had with my teens plus the arguments I had with my ‘oldies’
Being woken up at 2am by my son coming in drunk and shouting about a power cut , wasn’t the highlight of my night.

Grin - I was that bags teenager. I was also a 'Mum, I'm wearing heels...obviously I'm not getting pubic transport' teen.

youarenotkiddingme · 08/10/2017 11:34

This thread is brilliant Grin

AIBU to think my mum shouldn't ask for a thankyou just because after she dragged me to Aldi this morning she offered to unpack shopping on her own and cook my lunch whilst I game online for an hour before she helps me revise for next weeks exams.

I mean she owes me for making me come to supermarket and choose my food for next week.

Anyone else remember Medieval AIBU, Tudor AIBU, Victorian AIBU etc?

DuchessofManchester · 08/10/2017 11:29

I'm crying with laughter at I had bags

brasty · 08/10/2017 11:25

I am so angry. I am going to the biggest party of the year, I put my favourite top in the washing basket, but it hasn't been washed. I put it in 3 days ago, so it should be washed and dried by now. My DM says she hasn't got round to doing the washing yet, and if I needed it urgently, I should have washed it myself. I am up in my bedroom stewing. My DM says I can just wear something else - BUT OF COURSE I CANT!!!! So now I am going to miss out on the biggest party of the year, become a social outcast as a result, and it is all my DMs fault.

My mum still treats me like a child. I am an adult FFS. I am 16 years old and know as much about her as life - secretly I know that I actually know more than her. But still she insists on passing on her "wisdom" and thinking she knows better. How do I get her to see that I am an adult and know as much as her about life?

LonginesPrime · 08/10/2017 11:18

OMG, so my selfish mother made me come home from college at the weekend by train, on my own, with two bags (she told me to bring one, but obviously I couldn't fit all the dirty washing she has to do for me because I spent my washing money on a new phone case in one bag, duh!).

Then, one the way back, she tried to make me get the bus all the way to the train station! With bags! WTAF??

She said she'd drive me to the tube station, but I was like, 'I can't take the tube - I have bags' FFS, she's soo stupid!

So I waited until she was busy and distracted getting ready for work and getting the others off to school, then worked really hard to make her life hell and wear her down so she eventually paid for a cab across London to the train station to get rid of me.

She gave me the bus fare to get to college from the train station at the other end, and I was like 'no, I need a taxi from the train station too, obviously, because I can't get the bus with bags, FFS, it's like she doesn't even listen to me! She kept going on about public transport being there for a reason and who do I think I am, or some shit, I wasn't listening. There was something about only getting a cab to the station at this end on the condition I get the bus to college, but I figured I'd get the train first, then wait at the station until she gets me a cab, as she can't just leave me there, can she?
Haha.

So I get to the train station near college as planned. It's technically walking distance with no bags, but obviously, I have bags, so I couldn't walk it, duh! Anyway, I text the bitch to tell her I need a taxi, and she's like 'no, I said you had to get the bus' - WTAF?

I explained to her that I couldn't get the bus as I spent the bus money on a caramel frappaccino at the station (obviously - did she want me to starve???). And she still said no! She was going on about 'everyone gets the bus' and how she'd spent money on a taxi across London, and I had to remind her that (1) it wasn't a taxi, it was an Uber, and they're cheap and (2) she works and I don't, so obviously she can afford it. She has no idea how hard it is not having any money to buy stuff whenever you want, FFS.

So I called grandma and told her I was stranded with loads of bags and I couldn't get hold of mum on the phone - and Grandma transferred the money to my account so I could get a taxi and I even had enough left over for a panini at the station - result! (I think mum was quite cross with Grandma for getting involved but that's not my fault, I can't help it if someone gives me money, can I?)

WIBU? Of course I wasn't - I had bags and anyway, don't they know who I am??!?
