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)

Orlando Sorry if I misread but are you trying to detect pee from a princess because she can't possibly climb down from all those mattresses to go in the middle of the night? Does a real princess hang on until someone brings her a ladder in the morning?

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 20:30

Should I call the police?

My husband has just climbed down this mysterious plant after a boy who has stolen our Goose that lays golden eggs.

I haven't seen him for ages.

I feel a bit sorry for my godaughter. She lives with her stepmum and sisters and they don't really see eye to eye at the best of times. There's a big black tie do happening so I'd like to get her a dress and maybe a cab there, but don't have a lot of spare cash.
AIBU to rent the dress and cab for a few hours for her? She'd have to leave by midnight...

I make high quality leather foot wear. I'm a bit short of cash at the moment, who isn't at the moment? I had one lot of leather let to make up into shoes. Cut it a out and left it to do in the morning. Got up this morning and someone's broken in and made the shoes! I mean they'be actually done a good job, but still breaking and entering isn't on is it? Wife thinks we should just leave it and sell the shoes but WIBU to call 101?

OK so the pest control company I work for got a contract for a local school. I managed to get rid of all the vermin (rats not kids) and now they refuse to pay us.

AIBU to lure all of the children away with my magical flute playing and hide them from the rest of the world......forever??

Partyringer · 11/04/2015 20:32

It's all gone wrong. I've lost the house, fuck knows how, and now we are literally living in a shoe, and I've so many children I don't know what to do. AIBU to whip them all soundly and send them to bed? They're littlr shites.

millionsofpeaches · 11/04/2015 20:33

Whoops didn't proof read and trying to fend off a nonsleeping toddler. You get the gist!

MrsEvadneCake · 11/04/2015 20:34

I've come from quite a sheltered background. Studied and read a lot. I've met a man who is a bit unpredictable and has a beastly temper and says I can't see my family or friends and must stay with him. He says he will provide for me. I'm sure there is a kind and gentle man in there somewhere. Is he EA? Should I LTB or try and find his human side??

millionsofpeaches · 11/04/2015 20:37

My dad is a bit over protective and has banned me and my sisters from dancing. Would we be unreasonable to just sneek out at night and go clubbing anyway? There'a a secret door in our bedroom so no one will know.

elephantoverthehill · 11/04/2015 20:38

style and beauty
Has anyone found any glass slippers that are at all comfortable and allow you to dance? I've got this weird Godmother who has got them for me and is insisting I wear them to the local hop. Any advice?

littlebillie · 11/04/2015 20:39

AIBU should I call the police I have a stalker with a vulpine look, he is watching my house and has threaten to blow my house down and eat me (two of my family are already vanished and their houses are gone)

ShebaRabbit · 11/04/2015 20:39

I recently met this guy, he's a friend of my father's. He's heavy-set,quite gruff and his table manners are appalling but he works out a lot, is loaded and his house is amazing. He can be a bit funny about dinner time but he does love reading and so do I. He has invited me to stay with him long-term. My Dad is urging me on with this guy as he owes him big time. Despite all this and always feeling safe in his company I know he'll never be my type physically. AIBU to accept his invitation?

Do you read the DM? Just because he's a wolf doesn't mean he's bad?

All I asked for was a sodding rose. So my stupid dad breaks into this blokes house (he said the door was open yeah right) gets caught and tells the owner I made him do it. So because he was doing it for me he agrees for me to skivviy for this beast of a manager as compensation. Is this right? Any legal minds reading this thread

WannabeLaraCroft · 11/04/2015 20:42

I don't recognise the dancing one millions?

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 20:42

This bloke kissed me when I was fast asleep. Now he thinks he has the right to marry me because he thinks I'm beautiful and he's a Prince.

AIBU to tell him to get lost? It's the 15th c and you don't just marry people if they kiss you?

WannabeLaraCroft · 11/04/2015 20:45

Orlando YABU - he has kissed you so you are now undesirable to anyone else. Gotta grab what you get in the 15th century!

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 20:46

But I'm beautiful.

A mirror keeps telling me that.
