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?

lessons it's Jane Eyre, from her aunt Reed's perspective. And very nicely done, down to the cold tone!

Thanks pointy Grin

AIBU to think about leaving my husband although we're on honeymoon? I married what I thought was a lovely man, and we've come on holiday to Dorset to a beautiful part of the coast. We're having a few issues with DTD and I think he might have underlying psychological problems, WWYD?

Aibu or ismy dh? I've married outside my culture and my dh is hell bent on making me give up everything to do with it. There are certain advantages to my heritage and I could make life much easier for us all, (esp I'm a sahm and he is always inviting his boss and important clients over at a moments notice)but he won't have it. My dm hates him (zits mutual) and can't resist popping in to stir things up. She purposely forgets his name, encourages our dd to explore her family background against his wishes and has even tried to get rid of him. My cousin causes trouble too, but she is just jealous. I sometimes do "cheat" a little but he interferes and things go wrong. Wibu to "change" him a bit? (Tbh he isn't the man I married)

lessons, not unless you're actually royalty. You might have been able to procure The Efficient Baxter from Lord Emsworth if you were an American millionaire, but not this fish-fed gem.

AIBU to fire my employee? I am headmistress of a very well-regarded private infant school and we pride ourselves on letting children be children. She is very strict with her class, and I think she has been telling them unsuitable stories as some of their parents have complained they are tired in the mornings having stayed up all night to watch out for the bogeyman. She also hides chocolates in her desk and thinks no one notices when she sneaks out to eat them during lessons.

I have tried to warn her about this a few times already but always end up a bit confused after speaking to her.

vrta, YABU. You're only complaining about Ms Sto Helit because she shows up all your other teachers teachers in the upper grades. The teacher in question does so well, there's almost nothing left for your students to learn.

And you're deffo BU for not referring to her as "Your Grace".

wickeddevil I think I'd give the liver a miss, tbh, and don't touch the sweetbreads or the brains. He may be an exceptional gourmet cook, but he does sometimes find the fridge a bit empty and has to improvise with what he has available.

The beans sound ok and you can absolutely trust him on the wine.

AIBU to throw DCs out into the woods to fend for themselves. It seems cruel but we can't afford to feed them and I've heard that there's a gingerbread house across the woods so don't think they'll starve.
