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)

Doesn't matter, you kissed him. You're HIS!!! Slim pickins y'know. Wink

Butteredparsnips · 11/04/2015 20:50

Not an actual fairy tale. But AIBU to think the neighbours should just stfu with their singing?
The father is a LP but has a nanny, and they sing. All. Bloody. Day. Raindrops on roses. Whiskers on kittens. They never give up. AIBU to think some parents don't know when to keep their DC quiet?

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 20:52

Are they well dressed?

Ffs! My dad has found out that we've been sneaking out at night because our shoes keep wearing out. Luckily he can't find our secret passage at the moment. WWBU to still go clubbing even though he's put up adverts to try and get young men to watch us and find out our secret? Also is this a gross breach of our human rights not to be spied on by random blokes who may or may not be princes? Also my dad reckons the one who finds out the secret gets to marry one of us girls (there are 12 of us, sorry for the drip feed). Wwyd?

Urgent so posting here for traffic.

AIBU to think my FGM is being a tad unrealistic in expecting me to wear glass shoes for the shindig at "The Palace"?

FirstWeTakeManhattan · 11/04/2015 20:53

AIBU to ask a magical candlestick to arrange a romantic dinner for two for me and Bigfoot? Fairly certain I've got advanced Stockholm Syndrome, but fuck it, he's loaded.

HighwayDragon · 11/04/2015 20:57

My daughter has this ice magic, she nearly killed her sister by accident. WIBU to not let her have contact with anyone until she can control herself?!

WannabeLaraCroft · 11/04/2015 21:02

millions got it now! The 12 of you jogged my memory Wink

Muskey · 11/04/2015 21:03

Should I take my da to A&E. I asked him if he had a wash today he said yes and his nose grew 6 inches.

elephantoverthehill · 11/04/2015 21:04

The litter tray
I am so very worried my newest pussy has left the house. He has disappeared for 3 days now. Also my new Uggs have gone. Is this a bit woo?

OrlandoWoolf · 11/04/2015 21:07

Does your DS want to be a real boy?

outed on MN! - awkward.....

pootlebug · 11/04/2015 21:21

I think DS has lost the plot. We were baking some gingerbread men, he was in the kitchen and I'd popped out to do some gardening. He dashed past me yelling that one of the gingerbread men had leapt out of the oven and was running down the road so he was giving chase. AIBU to go after him?

stoopstoconker · 11/04/2015 21:24

elephant I found my cat wearing my shoes.
AIBU to exploit my pet's foibles on youtube, I've heard it's very lucrative.

acatcalledjohn · 11/04/2015 21:57

elephant, your pussy in Uggs woo story made me laugh out loud!

AIBU to have pushed that wicked old blind lady from the cottage down the road in to the oven? I've been cleaning for her for years, but she has always been nasty to me, expecting me to do everything whilst offering food to my DB all the time - he lodges there. (He cares about his health so he hasn't succumbed to her attempts.) Today I am sure she tried to push me in to the oven, but luckily I realised what I think she intended to do. Surely the woman was deranged?

Sorry it's so long, I just didn't want to drip feed. It's all been rather stressful so am enjoying a nice glass of Wine and some Cake whilst typing up this post. I hope it all makes sense.

elephantoverthehill · 11/04/2015 22:22

acatcalledjohn I can't understand why you didn't make the wicked old lady buy a steam cleaner, then you could have both gone on a spa day and your brother could have used the gym

PeppermintCrayon · 11/04/2015 22:24

AIBU not to eat an apple from my stepmum? I think she's trying to poison me. Is this gaslighting?

ZombieJenna · 11/04/2015 22:24

DM died when I was little and DF has always been a bit distant. Since I hit my teens he's been paying me more attention but it was really starting to creep me out, especially cuz he kept saying how much I look like DM.

It all came to a head last week when he caught me trying DM's wedding ring on. He says it means we've got to get married! I've asked for 3 dresses as a wedding present, gold, silver and one covered in diamonds (that'll take some doing!) to buy me some time but what can I do? Should I call 101 & report?

PeppermintCrayon · 11/04/2015 22:25

Posting for traffic. My porridge pot won't stop making porridge and it's started filling the streets. Anyone know how to stop it?

acatcalledjohn · 11/04/2015 22:27

Your comment made me go Shock, elephant. How could I possibly make a blind lady clean her own house? I mean, in hindsight maybe I should have, but I didn't realise quite how horrible she was until she tried to push me in to the oven.

Muskey · 11/04/2015 22:33

Ok so we are a blended family and mum does her best. But it's not easy when your step sister keeps talking to mice and keeps knicking vegetables

Muskey · 11/04/2015 22:33

Sorry should we go nc

elephantoverthehill · 11/04/2015 22:34

acatcalledjohn No a steam cleaner for you to use as you are cleaning her house. Being blind she will be on lots of benefits, so could afford it. IYSWIM.
Therefore more QT for you, her and bro.
