To wonder if someone posted an AIBU about you, what would it be?

Most of the posts here are about posters complaining about the behaviour of other people. So if someone was going to complain about your behaviour or that of your DC's, what would the AIBU post say?

Mine would say:
AIBU to be annoyed at friend who spilt red wine over my carpet? Yes she did offer to pay for it to be cleaned or replaced, but of course I said no.

aibu to think my neighbour should keep her dc quiet. There are 5 of them at the weekend and quite frankly it's like living next to a naughty childrens home! she sometimes let's them play in the back garden in their pyjamas! And to add insult to injury she also own a mad hairy yeti dog that gets over excited by the dc and runs round barking.

AIBU to think my neighbour should put some clothes on her two year old? I see her playing in their conservatory naked all the time!

Potty training, and bit by bit all the clothes come off.

AIBU to expect my mum to get off my back about my complete lack of motivation and enthusiasm for anything that doesn't involve plugging myself into the Xbox? (That from my 14 year old son who is due to receive the biggest kicking up his backside this evening following a phone call I've just had from the school)

To which you lot would all reply YABU, you lazy sod.

witherhills · 12/10/2011 13:04

aibu to call social services on my neighbour
every single night her son screams about bathtime and bedtime. I hear doors slamming and kicking. he really screams, and then cries a lot
when he screams I can't hear her at all, I think she ignores him

"AIBU to ask my wife not to sit on MN all day and to maybe wash the dishes or something. And possibly wear something a bit nicer than her jogging bottoms. Although jogging bottoms are an improvement on pyjamas..."

Shock Is that you, DH?!

WinterIsComing · 12/10/2011 13:08

Oh God, witherhills, that'd be mine, too.

"AIBU to ring SS because every Sunday evening while my DC are having a relaxing bath and hair-wash, my neighbour takes her 4yo DS into the bathroom and pours boiling oil him? Well that what it sounds like from all the shrieking"

I suspect MIL would like to post:

AIBU that my DIL doesn't ever respond to my attempts to wring every last ounce of gratitude and recognition from her? It's never worked, though I know she appreciates me and thinks a lot of me. I should give up really, but dammit, I want public adoration!

DooinMeCleanin · 12/10/2011 13:15

AIBU to think that my neighbour should control her feral children?
AIBU to think my neighbour should control her feral cat?
AIBU to think if my neighbour owned less dogs she'd be able to spend more time controlling her feral children and cat?
AIBU to think my neighbour should wash her windows/curtains more often, even just once a year would do? Blush
AIBU to think my daughter could anwser her phone occassionally instead of me having to phone one of my other daughters and ask them to email her for me? (I have tried to teach her how to use email several times before)

PicaK · 12/10/2011 13:17

AIBU to think my SIL is just being a big drama queen?

Obviously she couldn't come to my overseas wedding when she was pregnant and due that month next year - but when she had a miscarriage I waited AGES before I asked if they were going to come along now and her reaction was totally hysterical - after all she already has a son. I spose she has done ivf four times and this was their last go etc but still...

She also called me "a total bridezilla for asking us this three days after we lost our baby" - so she is def b u I think.

TheRealMrsHannigan · 12/10/2011 13:20

Mine would be:

AIBU to expect my mum to let me stuff my face with jaffa cakes for breakfast and not insist I have either porridge, toast or boring fruit?

  • My DD (almost 3) [big grin]

and

AIBU to ask my neighbour to stop her child galloping around the flat whinnying like a horse or shouting 'I'm naaaaaaaakid' again?

  • My neighbour [big grin]
LikeABlackFlameCandleBNQ · 12/10/2011 13:21

From my DH: AIBU to expect my wife to nap less?

Proudnreallyveryscary · 12/10/2011 13:21

AIBU to think my wife should have gone to work today instead of lying in bed with a hangover?

fastweb · 12/10/2011 13:31

Aibu if I staple my English friend's/next door neighbour's/wife's/DS's best friend's mother's mouth shut.

Cos she won't stop banging on about how much she hates the local (and national) school system , teaching methods, homework loads etc, and my ears are bleeding thanks to her one track mind.

They do have a point, but I'd rather superglue than staples if its all the same.

AIBU to want to eat marmite in front of my DH without constant and loud complaining about the smell.

That sounds like my MIL!

FannibalLecter · 12/10/2011 16:17

'AIBU to ask my DP to stop doing cabbage farts while I eat my tea and instead go and sit on the toilet for a while?'

(You lot all sound like nightmares btw!)

Proon · 12/10/2011 16:22

WaitingforMe, maybe you're my SIL.... (that would be kind of funny)

Groovee · 12/10/2011 16:29

AIBU to think my SIL is pathetic at not bowing down and making me feel like a princess.

AIBU that my neighbour and her pre-teen daughter argue so much

AIBU that my daughter doesn't drink

AIBU that my friend has stopped texting or calling me and I expect her to come running all the time.

OtterBjitch · 12/10/2011 16:33

AIBU to think that my mum should let me roller-skate to my friend's house? After all, I'm 10 now and it's only across two main road at rush hour. And it's no different from roller-skating at the skating rink, even if it is dark and raining. And my friend's mum let's her skate everywhere and she doesn't have to be in until 10pm, whereas my fun-sucking mother insists that I'm home by 6pm on a school night. Shock Sometimes I think her sole purpose in life is to ruin things for me. Sad She won't even let me dye my hair or shave my legs or go on Facebook or even have a mobile until I start High School.

stayforappledunking · 12/10/2011 16:36

Oh there would probably be loads about me.

AIBU to wish my neighbour would not be so kind as to share her youtube music with us at loud volumes in the day AND play the same song over and over again.

AIBU to threaten to drown my neighbours cats because they scare away the poor little burdies in my garden?

AIBU to expect my friend to text back within 24 hours instead of 24 days?

honestly I could go on all day. I guess I am an U type of person. :/
