If fairy tales were on AIBU

[OrlandoWoolf]

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 )

DH and DCs do nothing to help me around the house, I feel I do all the work

I asked them to help me plant some grain in the allotment but they refused, I asked them to help me get some of the produce in, but they refused. Even when I was obviously struggling with the quern stone to make some flour they still sat on their arses playing Xbox!

AIBU to eat all the bread?

AIBU here? My DP keeps insulting me, insinuating that he could have been someone before he met me and that I've taken his dreams from him. He called me an old slut the other day. When we first met, things seemed so good. Should I LTB?

Incidentally, the hovel we live in is made worse by the flippin' NYPD choir, who keep singing something unintelligible outside the window.

I suggest you both take a spa day in Galway bay. There are some cheap flights available from NY

AIBU to call SS out for my neighbour, or maybe pack her in the car and head to A&E? She mentioned the other day that she'd accidentally swallowed a small bug, shite but it happens right? The next morning she was on about some new age cure she'd heard of to do with a dose of arachnid. By lunchtime she was wittering about how that hadn't worked very well, quel surprise, and was halfway up a tree trying to grab one of the starlings. Then later I saw her kidnap the other neighbours cat, when I didn't think she even wanted a pet! Now she's eyeing up our Labrador and talking about some wriggling and jiggling going on inside her. Is this some kind of dementia (she is known to be fairly advanced in years) or could something be really wrong?

Brilliant! but I suggest any equine species are kept well out of range

Ooh, OK, thanks, will remember to tell DH to lock the stallion up well tonight. Most aggravatingly this little shit of a boy down the road keeps bursting into mocking song about anything she does and suggesting she might pass on soon!

birdling I see what you did there

Might I suggest that you LTB? He sounds like a cheap lousy faggot anyway

OnNobodys You said she was getting on a bit, of course she'll die.

AIBU here? My DH's two brothers have moved in with us because they have lost their homes. I believe that it is their own fault because they insisted on saving money and building their houses out of cheaper materials while we scrimped and saved and put our money into bricks and mortar. DH says that we have no choice but to let them in because they would not survive otherwise, something about someone big and bad after them. Even so, it is putting a tremendous strain on our relationship and I think it is time for them to move on. Couldn't a housing association help them out? Meanwhile, DH and his brothers spend all their time on home security and creating booby traps for intruders, this isn't an environment I want my DCs growing up in. We have worked hard for what we have and I don't see why we should have to share it with the feckless.

HELP,!! The fat guy next door's just fallen off the wall! We are out on a pony trek from the barracks and are not medically trained!

Sorry, not really an AIBU, but posting here for the traffic.
All I did was go to a dance in my lovely new shoes instead of staying home with DM who was too ill to go out.
Now I can't get the sodding things off and they won't stop moving, meaning I missed DM's funeral (OK, she might have been a little more ill than I thought).
A nice man has offered to remove them for me - WWYD?

Me and the other six lads have been working on a tunnelling job in Hatton Garden. There's a fantastic bonus if we get it finished this weekend, but all do all day is dig.

One of the guys brought some chick, she seems very promiscuous and it's led to disagreements. She told me it was my turn tonight but now it turns out she's feeling sleepy. AIBU to feel grumpy?

Piglet I think you should be feeling Dopey. She certainly isn't feeling Bashful.

Gosh all you have to worry about is digging. I am off to Jordan because everything is crashing on my head. I have to report it. Some other fowls are joining me because we think it is important to tell the King.

Wotsup it may be that there's nothing you can do, some people have eggshell skulls.

DD's pissing me off BIGTIME! Yeah she's 14 and they often turn bratty at that age but I just cannot stand her (and she's prettier than me) AIBU to try to get her killed and then keep her heart as a souvineer? If that fails I will poison the stupid bitch

Fxcked I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror, those narcissistic tendencies can be deeply unattractive.

My sister's and I think my brother is ugly. AWBU to think we should just chase him out of the pond?

AIBU to be worried about my sister? The daft girl accepted moving in with a monster after he threatened to kill DF if one of us didn't. Now she's home on a visit and insists that he's not so bad. WIBU to demand that she stay home and not return to the beast like she promised?

I need eyes in the back of my head honestly! Its half term so I sent the kids up the hill to the well. I don't know why I don't just go myself to save myself the bother but at least it gets them off the x-box...

They must have been mucking about as usual because they both went arse over whatever and fell the whole way down! Dd is fine - just a bit shaken, but ds is bleeding from a head wound.

I know I should just get off mn and sort him out, but just wanted to ask - he could really do with some steristrips but minor injuries hasn't been invented yet -but AIBU to improvise with vinegar and brown paper? Please don't judge me - am a bit shaken...

DS is supposed to watch our flock after school but when he did in half term he kept yelling blue murder every hour or two because there was apparently some wild animal prowling round. Of course each time I have to drop what I'm doing and get all the neighbours to run up and have a look with me, but so far nothing but false alarms. Have tried lots of tactics from 'How To Talk So Kids Will Listen' but it still went on. AIBU now to tell DH to get off his arse and watch the sodding sheep himself, then leave DS on the Xbox where he can't disturb me?

Fantail - be nice to him and convince your Dbro to let you manage his future career while he still has low self esteem, I have a feeling you'll cash in when he gets through the teenage phase and the ad agencies come calling.

parking thread help !
I live near a large dance venue - Only place I can afford to rent and I was just getting up ( evening - I work shifts) when I heard doors banging. I looked out of the front window and some c**t has parked right across our driveway blocking me in!
and its not even a normal car - its a big fancy wedding-y carriage thing in by orange ! how tasteful ! - with Fg horses ! and there’s even a bloke sat at the front.
Thing is I'm a bit scared to go and ask him to move as he looks a right sort, all hairy and I'd swear when I was peeking through the curtains...he had yellow eyes !
I think I need to be brave - come on mumsnetters - what should I do
go out and confront the guy on the carriage ?
or phone the venue get them to send someone over to deal with it ?
I have to go to work - I cant afford to loose my job as I have septuplets to look after

I am rather taller and bulkier than average and therefore need to have quite a large garden. I love my garden and think it is great, however all the neighbourhood children keep trying to get in. Kids these days have no discipline and the parents provide no supervision. AIBU by building a wall around my precious garden to keep out the riff raff and their singing and games?
