Good health (hope that’s not cheating as I have a few conditions)

Excellent dentition

Money. Sorry if this is against the fairytale tradition. But a hefty sum in my bank account would ease many problems

BreezyClouds · 13/09/2026 21:17

Ensure disabled DS has a happy life

Find me some clothes I actually like

Redecorate my house

Kidsandhouse · 13/09/2026 21:18

Health
(have had some health issues in the past and would like to resign them to the history books permanently)

Wealth
(Just enough to not have to worry about money and be able to afford a few fun things)

Happiness
(Well who doesn't!)

MadellineBellPictureMeGoneNS · 13/09/2026 21:18

  1. All the bindweed in my garden to disappear
  2. dh to suddenly decide he wants to do my niche hobby with me so it can become something we share instead of a source of tension and he can have as much fun as I do
  3. A talking raven for DS2 to go to sixth form college with him and generally be a friend as well as make him look ineffably cool as it sits on his shoulder
4catsaremylife · 13/09/2026 21:25

Could I have a lottery win please? Id spend it buying Secure housing for DC2, (others still at home AN) I'd pay for repairs on my own mortgaged property and fund a modest retirement for myself, because I'm mid 60s and knackered from working full time at NMW.

bluechameleon · 13/09/2026 21:27
  1. My DC to enjoy each other's company without constant bickering
  2. Someone to clean and tidy my house and garden
  3. World peace etc
Babyboomtastic · 13/09/2026 21:29

You didn't say we couldn't ask for extra wishes, so that if possible!

  1. immortality for anyone who I want to grant it to.
  2. to know our place in the universe in terms of other worlds, aliens etc.
  3. my daughter's health conditions to be cured.
LivingForTheWinter · 13/09/2026 21:30
  1. Time travel so my horrible thing wouldn't have happened

Please and thank you :-)

WTFIsEverySingleLineOfLandslideAlreadyTaken · 13/09/2026 21:49
  1. A cure for DC's dad's mental illness would bring DC such peace
  2. A neat route out of my impossible career into something sustainable

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 13/09/2026 22:15

Or maybe I should swap one of those for an end to war and poverty. Can the genie deliver that?

Ah the 3rd one maybe problematic
Under Genie code because some people derive joy from it (I know,I know)
It could fall into spite category.

Careful about the immortality wish - you need to ask for immortality coupled with youth and good health.

I wish and I'm a Genie
Humans must try and solve that one
As there's too much for Genie to solve that💥💥⚱️
