I have a very short attention span and find it punishing to sit through traditional Japanese theatre performances, what are your views?

Say no to Noh is a complete sentence 😆

Can anybody tell me what the top-level domain is for Norway - after the dot?

I don't want a full-sentence answer or any waffle; just this one single piece of info.

What is this in my toilet? (Pics included)

Your DH is clearly having an affair. LTB.

My DD aged 6 has a reading age of 14. Should I be worried about her falling behind her peers?

Q. I am a SAHM (DC, 1, 3 and 4) and just found out DH has a secret family and his other wife has a gambling habit. This all came to light when the bailiffs turned up half an hour ago. Called DH at work and he confessed he’d forged my signature on the paperwork for a remortgage but defaulted so now OUR house is about to be repossessed too. He suggests we all move in together in their caravan (he actually said it will drastically cut his commute! WTF!).

UPDATE for anyone still reading - I am officially homeless and I am writing this from a verge surrounding by all our belongings and it’s just started to hail. Can’t stay with F&F as am NC with everyone I’ve ever met or spoken to.

A. What did they say when you told them this, OP?
What’s the question?

ginasevern · 09/05/2025 17:41

What should I say to my mother who wants to give my son a packet of crisps? She looks after him 5 days a week from 6am to 6pm free of charge and gave me a hefty deposit for my house (she is also disabled) but this is destroying my mental health.

LocalHobo · 09/05/2025 17:52

My DH spends all our income on his expensive hobby, goes to the pub every night, has voluntarily left work and is on stag do's for the next seven weekends. He is a wonderful father. Why do I feel drained working full time and caring for our 4 DC?

Question: AIBU to not answer the door to my neighbour of 3 years who is clearly distressed.

Can you recommend me a tasty dressing for my massive salad?

Edited: forgot my answer to a question! Here it is -

Try an old pair of tights and a spare guinea pig run (if you have one).

drspouse · 09/05/2025 19:26

My friend has asked me to be a bridesmaid but I have to pay for a dress costing £500 and be at her house at 5am to get ready. It's 400 miles away, I don't drive and I have a 2 week old baby.

drspouse · 09/05/2025 20:24

Q. I live down the road from a Wildlife Park. Unfortunately, someone trying to steal DNA codes for a new animal they were in the process of creating accidentally deactivated all their security fences and all the animals got out. I currently have a herd of stampeding elephants rushing up and down the street being chased by a pack of lions; and there are monkeys everywhere destroying cars and ringing doorbells. What do I do?

New A. Just put your big girl pants on and channel your inner Maggie Thatcher!

MaggieBsBoat · 09/05/2025 20:45

Q. My gay best friend who lives next door has asked if I’ll attend his new boyfriend’s Tupperware party with him. But I am a vegan microplasticophobe and I don’t do parties. What should I do???

A. Call the head office and threaten them with outing them in the Daily Fail.

Q. A group of Satanists have moved into the house next door. They're keeping me up all night by sacrificing goats and then chucking the reeking carcasses over my fence, making a complete mess of my lawn. Any advice on how to tackle this problem?

New A. You're probably best off seeking help from someone with expertise in this area - perhaps a marine biologist or an experienced Estate Agent could sort it out for you.

My DH has suddenly decided to stop eating meat, and he's now being sanctimonious and trying to stop everyone else eating it too; the DC can't have so much as a chicken nugget without getting a lecture. He's even bought the cat some insect-based cat-food which the cat absolutely hates! I've told him it's not fair on the cat, but his response is 'there's absolutely nothing wrong with insects as a source of protein'. How can I make him eat his words?

New answer: That's just the sort of thing that Northerners do every day, it's normal outside London and the South East.
