AIBUs from parents of fictional children

[ProudAS]

AIBU to be concerned about what DCs are up to? Since we moved to Yorkshire they've been hanging around the railway line most days and not made friends with the local children.

DS came home with a bag of coal which he said was "mined" and whilst he looked like he'd been down a coal mine I suspect it was stolen.

And then there's the station porter who seems to be getting very friendly with them - he's a nice man by all accounts but I can't help feeling suspicious.

AIBU to send DH to get me bunches of Rampion from the old lady opposite's garden? I'm pregnant and it's the only thing I can keep down.

She is very grumpy and says he can't have any, so he has to go and steal it in the night.

She has made some ridiculous threats regarding my baby, daft old crone.

WIBU to ban spinning wheels from my entire kingdom? Some old witch fairy godmother has threatened DD with death from a needle prick when she is fifteen. Luckily my BFF turned the curse into a sleeping spell, but that still feels like it could be problematic (unless you are the parent of a sleep defying toddler in which case way-hey). DH reckons I'm being PFB and perhaps there was just too much consumed at the post-Christening do.

BlazinStoke my DD bloody loves that book, assuming that your other DC are called Percy and Bill that is!

AIBU to send DD to live in an Oxbridge college with a lot of ancient professors instead of keeping her with me, as my job is very dangerous? Oh, and should I tell her that I'm her uncle rather than her father, just to keep her safe from some dangerous people? Okay, so I'm really trying to keep her away from my ex, who is a total bitch and has some friends and colleagues I don't approve of.

What do you mean, I'm a controlling arse and they're well rid of me? Vipers.

AIBU to ground my step daughter? She ditched her baby brother just so she could hang out with some poser in a fright wig who calls himself The Goblin King.

She insists nothing happened but he is far too old for and behaves and dresses very inappropriately around her, his pants leave NOTHING to the imagination.

I am worried about DS. He's point blank refusing to join me in the family business (ruling the universe if you must ask), an has been hanging around with some very odd characters - giant walking carpet anyone?

Anyhoo, we had a major row and I chopped his hand off, so now he's run away to live in a forest with small annoying bears with afore mentioned dodgy mates.

I think he's on drugs because he keeps talking to some dead fella called Obi Wan, oh and recently tried to snog his sister.

Good good, it's like an episode of Jeremy Kyle! I had such high hopes for him, with the force being so strong and all.

AiBU to tell my recently disabled daughter to just stop being so self pitying? She fell off a swing - we'd told her not to, own darn fault - and injured her back. Now she's paralysed from the waist down, but she's just so miserable! She wants to lie in her room with her medication close to hand and is being SO drippy about spending time with her noisy, active siblings. I was thinking of calling my disabled niece to visit, just so she can tell her to buck her ideas up - put on a nice scarf, smile, do a bit of babysitting (well, as much as she can in her bed - read bible verses to them and comfort them when they're annoyed). AIBU to expect she should stop being so bloody miserable, seeing as it's been a whole month?

I'm also thinking that, should she recover, I'll send her off to a nice boarding school thousands of miles away - the cold should do her good. If not, maybe a scorching hot country farm. Any extreme weather location actually.

Am I being unreasonable to let Maureen, our neighbour's teenage daughter, babysit for my two DC's Alfie and Annie Rose? We went out for a much needed night out last night, and when we got home,the neighbours were in our house,changing bedding and children ,because a pipe had burst and Maureen didn't know where to turn the water off? She actually left the children to go and get our neighbours to help!!

My 'D'nieces/nephews have run away, they had been living with us...the police have been looking for them and a local boy who disappeared at the same time. They searched local islands on the big lake but haven't found them yet.
I need help in the house, the girls did all the washing and the boys the gardening...WIBU to ask the police to step up the enquiry?

Aibu? I'm wondering because the GP seemed a bit annoyed.

I have 10 babies and all night they've been bouncing on the bed. About 7, dd (1?) fell off and bumped her head so I called the doctor who came and did a house call (how can I go out I've got 10 babies?!) and said 'no more babies jumping on the bed'. Tbh I didn't appreciate his tone or him trying to discipline my kids so I just let them keep bouncing. Basically they were messing around and all fell off at some point or another during the night, I called the GP out every time, you can never be too careful with head injuries right? I mean, I'm not a negligent parent! Anyways when the last one landed on her head the doctor seemed a bit off and shouted a bit which IMO is v unprofessional and I'm thinking of reporting him. Just wanted to check IANBU first but I'm not, obviously

I have 3 DDs and am getting on a bit. I had a really good wheeze to divvy up the family business between them according to how much they love me.

AIBU? Surely this can only end well?

these are fantastic

aibu to take my dn to the doctor?
he has started talking about little people taking things, I think he could be a kleptomaniac? should I be concerned

aibu too take my poor fatherless little ds half way round the world to an almost mythical place in the far east so I can further my career as a governess to the rich and famous? it'll be a culture shock for him, bit I feel there may walk be dancing andsinging....

I always wanted to be directly employed by a king ...

WIBU to relocate? I've been offered a job I really can't refuse, with great salary and tons more responsibility, by my best mate, but I'm worried about how it will affect the DC. Would it be best to get DS1 to keep a eye on the place while we're away? Also, I think it might make my job more secure if I promise DD1 to my mate's son, even if he is a shifty-eyed, weasel-faced wee bastard. I can't really see how it could possible go wrong - I'll just have to make sure I don't lose my head.

By the way, I'm reasonably sure my mate's DW is up to something unsavoury. I should tell her my suspicions, right? Honesty is always the best policy when dealing with tricky situations and, whatever else she is, she always keep her word.

Aibu? It's my mums birthday today but she does my head in so I sent dd (6ish) with a hamper of treats for her, I dressed dd in the hideous coat DM bought her and dd has set off. A neighbour thinks IABU because there had been a spare of killings in the area lately, they think by wolf, but I think dd will be fine, she's not stupid.

IANBU IMHO.

AIBU?

I just don't know where to start with my children.

One has additional needs - he's a smaller person and I've tried my best not to but fear my aversion shows. He's currently whoring and drinking his way around the Westeros.

And my other two are very close. I mean I'm all for brothers and sisters being close but something doesn't quite sit right with their relationship

Would I be unreasonable to sell my soul to the devil so I can stay young and gorgeous forever, and have a painting age instead of me?

Bea are you sure your DC aren't monkeys? Be honest now.

I'm a bit worried about dd. She's fantastic, and a brilliant rider, and we love her individuality. But she's just at the right age to go to boarding school, and I'm worried the other girls may be a bit bitchy about her. WIBU to persuade her to grow her hair a bit, and perhaps use a different shortening of her name? Admittedly Wilhelmina is a bit of a mouthful, but maybe Billie? (TBH, we should probably have called one of the boys William, and got it out of our system.)

should I be more worried about my Ds?

we live in a quiet area and he likes to walk around late at night. I also lied to him about his mother leaving as I couldn't face telling him, do I said she died. please don't flame me
