AIBUs from/about fictional characters

[ProudAS]

I'll start

AIBU to report neighbours to social services

Their 11YO DS appears to be morbidly obese and IMO is getting to look more and more like a pig. I think I saw a curly tail poking out of his trousers.

Their DNephew on the other hand appears malnourished. He's also 11 and has lived with them since he was a baby and his DPs died. I've heard rumours that they lock him in the cupboard under the stairs and make him sleep in there. FFS the house has 4 bedrooms and they only have 1 DC.

It's now getting more suspicious. DNephew hasn't been around for a while and apparently he's away at a school for incurably criminal boys. He's always seemed well behaved to me and I was unaware that such schools existed.

I don't want to poke my nose in but WWYD?

My neighbour keeps sending her DD to visit her elderly grandmother who lives at the other side of the wood from us when she should be at school. Surely these are unauthorised absences? In addition, anyone could be lurking in the woods!!

The child is also unsuitably dressed for the weather. A cape is just not going to keep the cold out, should I call SS?

aibu to call the police i just popped out for a short while even though it was raining, leaving my two children alone in the house, when i came back the place was oddly tidy and i saw a giant cat wearing a strange hat leaving. and i had not even been drinking i asked the children what was going on but they claimed to have done nothing all day. and i cannot find my spotted dress anywhere

Is it none of my business? There is a single dad nearby and my he is such a helicoptering, attachment freak! He has one poor little kid and no matter what this dc does df has to top it, especially in the affection stakes. Dc comes out with cute little sayings about the level of his love for his df and df can't let it lie, he has to go one better. Dc never seems to be with friends, in nursery, other family, just him and this smothering df. Should I ask him round for a play date WITHOUT this dad?

AIBU? My daughter is 14 and her dad and I have organised her an amazing marriage to a man who will look after her for the rest of her life. But suddenly, she's started mooning over this other boy from a rival gang! He's wholly unsuitable and MURDERED her cousin!! I'm convinced there's something strange going on, and this morning her bedroom smelt suspiciously of DTD! I mean, I hired a nursemaid to keep an eye on her, what's going on??

WIBU to marry her off doublequick time? She's just said she's picked up a health tonic. In fact, I better go wake her up.

Am still reading this thread and wracking my brains for something that will make you all laugh. but going through menopause so brains mush. But will think of something. Just going up to look at kids books/dvds!!!

Oh I was going to do Oliver!!

I am a very beautiful, wilful young lady of 15 who is the apple of my fathers eye. My sisters are very jealous of me and my Mother worries I am getting spoilt and will never find any nice Southern Gentleman who will marry me. But I DONT CARE! The thing is there is some kind of war going on and now all the young men have gone off to fight. I am bored and because of this war there are no parties or new dresses or pretty bonnets. I did meet a beastly man at a party once. He virtually undressed me with his eyes! I am confused because I felt a thrill but my Mother and my maid would kill me and lock me up if they knew I was having these thoughts. I am struggling to make sense of all my conflicting emotions. I have a darling cousin who I have been in love with forever and who loves me too (Who wouldn't love me...I am the Belle of the county!) But it has just been announced that he is to marry his cousin Melanie!!! (haven't they heard of interbreeding!!!) I am devastated and am trying everything to get him to notice me. Have bumped into that man again and he said some awful things to me. I have a feeling things are going to get a lot worse. But what could be worst than no new pretty dresses and bonnets? WWYD?

Hi I'm a college-age male but would appreciate some female perspectives and advice!

I'm very worried about my blonde identical twin 16-year-old sisters. I actually think they are unhinged and in need of therapy. One is a selfish, manipulative sociopath, who thinks nothing of lying, cheating and scamming to get her own way. She dresses like a Rodeo Drive hooker and regularly two-times her boyfriends but constantly slut-shames other girls.

The other is a priggish, sanctimonious, judgmental busy-body who makes it her mission in life to interfere in other people's lives and 'correct' what she sees as their faults. Oh, and she's a massive prick tease.

To compound all this, they regularly pretend to be each other. Even our parents can't tell them apart. They are completely out of control and their school and our parents just turn a blind eye to their increasingly outrageous behavior.

WIBU to just go NC with my whole family??

AIBU to wish my neighbours would STFU?
Mum, DSisters and I moved to the area a while ago and the neighbours are constantly in our faces. The only nice (OK, he's also damn hot) one is a painfully shy chap who at least seems capable of conversation (eventually). Not like the rest, oh no. The second I even said hello to the bloke they start going on and on "ooooh, she's in luuurve" as if they had nothing better to go on about. DSis1 is hanging about with a ne'er do well, Mum has her head in the clouds and we have no money. Neighbours antics are surely putting the hot chap off, not to mention the way they insist on referring to me as "the sensible one"...

I'm a male so hope you don't mind me posting for advice.

After playing the field for years and sleeping around I met the love of my life in St Petersburg when I was engaged to her cousin. She is married to a stuffed shirt who works in government and has a DS. In spite of their loveless marriage she took a lot of persuading to keep seeing me. Well, finally won her round and DTD and she's now pregnant. The sh*t hit the fan and there's been risk of a huge scandal but her husband seems to have forgiven us. Tbh I never in my life imagined settling down but she's the best thing that ever happened to me. Much to my flighty DM's disgust I am just about to chuck in my army career to persuade my DP to marry me.

The fly in the ointment is her DH who now says he'll keep DS with him and she'll be the NRP. She's absolutely breaking her heart. She's always been a romantic but this is all in danger of turning into a big fat tragedy.

AIBU to not give her up now? I worry that if I push her to divorce him we'll face a custody battle then I'll spend the next few years making sure she stays away from steam trains.

Ohwhatfuckery
Eddard Stark "claims" he is the biological father of Jon Snow, Not the adopted father :D

I keep seeing 'Ethan Frome' and, having no real experience of his writing, my only thought is 'He's off the curriculum. He's OFF the curriculum.'

AIBU to be worried about my friend? I know it's none of my business but she has recently been orphaned and I think grief is clouding her judgement. She's upped and left all her friends to go and live with some very distant relatives in the countryside. TBH they sound very weird - a couple of religious maniacs, some testosterone-charged young men, an old farm-hand, a hippy, a maid with numerous children by numerous partners - plus the mum (I think she's depressed) fancies her own son (who seems to have a sex addiction) and the granny won't leave her room. Apparently she has post-traumatic stress disorder, having once seen something nasty... My friend seems to think she can change them but I think it'll all end in tears. She only has £100 a year to live on so is obviously worried about cash. Should I insist she comes to live with me and my collection of vintage underwear?

Gennacy I realised soon after, my huge mistake. Hanging my head in shame. Blame my good friend Mr J Walker.

I am sure Ethan Frome was not a writer though.

AIBU to leave my drunken mother and go off to Boston with a lovely lady who stays here at the hotel every summer?
my father left some years ago and I think my mother is going crazy. The neighbours look after my little brother and it has always been my dream to live in Boston and maybe study and learn how to be a bit classier than my drunken parents.......

Yes but Sukebind tbf she is a very forthright young woman who likes organising everyone.
My comfort book.

the sukebind the sukebind! shirrr shirrr (or something)

My dh and i are happily married though have no children. We enjoy our jobs ( we are both dentists) and our lifestyle in sunny Australia. But occasionally I feel like this isn't really how my life is meant to be. I have thoughts that I have a dd, that she is very clever and away at boarding school. I also find myself thinking we live in the Home Counties.... Most odd.

WIBU to have some kind of rebirthing therapy, just to see if there is a reason for feeling this way?

Ohwhatfuckery - you're right. IABU. Will just send magazines.
