AIBU to call social services? Just got back from a lovely walk. The porridge has been eaten, there's chairs broken and there's a little girl asleep alone in my DS's bed. No sign of any parents.

WWYD?

(plenty of scope for wicked step mums here. And a bit of feminism as well Grin)

AIBU to make these entitled little "d" c understand that there are consequences for their selfish actions?

I was taking a much needed nap this afternoon and was rudely awoken by brats not only banging on my home but actively breaking it. Tearing chunks out of my roof, breaking my windows and the boy. I heard him snap my lovely door knocker off and he ATE it.

I am not an unreasonable woman. Had they knocked and told me they were hungry I would have offered them food and drink but they've destroyed the front of my home in their piggish rage and there are no parents about. They need to learn that it is not acceptable. I am disgusted and very upset.

My beautiful home

AIBU to renege on a contract with a weird bloke who agreed to turn straw into gold but wants to take the DC1 from me? The contract was made under duress. My DH threatened to chop my head off. Bloody men. LTB?

Icimoi · 11/04/2015 19:32

AIBU to think that it was always going to be a recipe for disaster for DH to build our house out of straw? Especially with our wolf NDN prowling around.

Humansatnav · 11/04/2015 19:34

My dsd is always whining, her dm passed away and she now lives with us ft.
To keep her busy I give her a few chores, don't flame me but AIBU to make her sleep in the kitchen?

ItsAllKickingOffPru · 11/04/2015 19:35

Every week I have to go and visit my Nana. I don't mind but I have to go through a really dodgy area to get there. It's dark, there's no people around and there's talk of a vicious 'thing' that hangs about there.
I demanded a taxi but my parents just lolled and said to shout for a woodcutter if I have any problems and that my Hi Vis red coat won't draw attention to me (yeah, like much!)
AIBU to think they don't give a shit about my safety?

MrsEvadneCake · 11/04/2015 19:35

AIBU to think that asking our DD to take food to MIL because she's too lazy ill to get up is a bit unfair?

She's got a wood to walk through, only her summer red cloak and I worry about strangers wanting her basket.

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 19:37

Bit concerned about my wife. She keeps looking into a mirror and I think she struggles with self esteem issues. DD is lovely - but her mother died young. I don't think DW likes DD. WWYD?

AIBU to want all spinning wheels banned? Due to a curse DD can't risk going near one.

rachaelofhousestark · 11/04/2015 19:39

Aibu I think my husband has a foot fetish? He found my manky shoe in a club and tracked me down. I'm worried in case he comes across another shoe he liked more than mine .

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 19:40

This frog keeps talking to me. Wants me to kiss him.

Should I see the GP?

DD pricked her finger and is being a complete drama queen. She's refusing to get out of bed and just sleeps all day.

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 19:43

My DH has come across some suppliers for his clothes. But I think it's a con. Trouble is, he's so arrogant people are scared to criticise him.

AIBU to be fucked off that DP does not get how tired I actually am? He said 100 years 'because of a cursed needle' is taking the piss.

elephantoverthehill · 11/04/2015 19:45

Me and my brothers just want to get to the juicy bits but there is always a troll lurking.

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 19:46

AIBU to be pissed off at stereotypes?

I'm a wolf. But the DM seems to think we are all big and bad? It makes it very hard to make friends in the woods.

AIBU to ask my mum to cut my hair ffs. the fact that she won't have a stairs built in our house for safety reasons does make me think that she is a bit over protective

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 19:53

I have a plan. I am trapped in a tower - but if I grow my hair really long, then someone can climb up it.

Can anyone see a flaw in this?

Posting here for traffic. A young woman has shown up out of the blue, at the cottage I share with six co-workers. She wants to work in exchange for a bed for the night, but we all feel slightly uncomfortable with the arrangement.

We're fairly laid-back as a group, but after a long shift, the last thing we need is to watch someone trying to train small woodland creatures to carry out basic household tasks. We just want a cold beer and a bit of downtime.

I'm okay with it so far, but one of our group can be a grumpy fucker sometimes and I'm worried it'll kick off.

AIBU to let her stay?

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 20:07

Do you dig dig dig dig dig dig the whole day through?

elephantoverthehill · 11/04/2015 20:10

May I ask you what word you use for you DS's penis? My son is calling it a lamp I think. He says when he rubs it magical things happen. I have never heard this expression before. Can anyone help?

I am a very precious Prince and want to know if the person I marry is a Princess. AIBU to put loads of mattresses together and put a pea at the bottom to see if she detects it?

Best one yet elephantoverthe hill. Love it

WannabeLaraCroft · 11/04/2015 20:19

I'm crap at these - can someone do Beauty and the Beast please?? Grin

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 20:20

Goes off to Google story.

Probably something to do with being judged for appearances Grin

AIBU I live with my father and sisters under the ocean. He's really over protective. I just want to be where the people are, like be part of that world iyswim. Anyway, this octopuss woman has offered to give me legs in exchange for my voice. All I have to do is get the Prince to kiss me. Would could possibly go wrong? WIBU to do it even though walking might feel like I'm walking on sharp knives? (Didn't include that bit did you Disney?!)
