WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 24/07/2016 23:06

I am only 12 so I have used my mums name to find out why she is cross. She said I should ask.

We had been on the beach all day. Well since after lunch as I didn't get up very early. Then it was my sister nap time.

We played on the sand and in the see.
I even played with my sister a bit when she wasn't grumpy.

It got to tea time and my sister wanted to go back and get changed as the wind was making the sand dry and going in our faces.
I wanted to finish my game as I had spent ages building the track in the sand for the ball. That my sister had found.
I wanted mum to watch too.

When we got back to the car I didn't help much as I had cut my toe on a shell and it hurt. It wasn't my fault I didn't have my beach shoes.

When we got home mum asked me to wash the saucepan so we could cook pasta. I know I should have washed it yesterday as it's my job but I was tired.
So I didn't do any washing up.
I hate it. I have to do everything.
Then she wanted me to wash dishes so we could eat too.

All she did was get pizza out of the fridge for my sister left over from yesterday.
And she moaned st having to put the bin bag in as I forgot on Thursday. And she moaned at having to pick the rubbish up that I spilled when I put the rubbish out.
She moans all the time .

Then she asked if I had any dirty clothes but as I was comfy on my bed I didn't take any.
So she got some washing in. Started the machine with our wetsuits in so they don't get ruined
Just a cold rinse.
Then she put them out and started washing clothes.
She moaned about doing all my washing up from 3 days. More moaning.

She didn't cook me any Dinner and didn't let me watch TV.

She is the moaning mum ever!
I only slammed the door once and my sister didn't cry.
She did leave my pot noodle by my door tho Grin

Is it really wrong that I now have a craving for beef super noodles?

hotdiggedy · 25/07/2016 00:41

No, super noodles are acceptable. Not sure why you would want beef though.

It's mother's job to have dishes ready to go. If it's that bad that you need to wash a fork just to eat she's not doing her job as a parent. My mother made me do all the housework as a kid and I still resent it.

I'm off to make a pot noodle.

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 27/07/2016 06:14

Ooh, this thread is old. Decision still stands! YANBU!!

limon · 27/07/2016 08:15

Yabu..at 12 you should be doing an awful lot more for yourself and chores. Your mum works hard and you shouldn't be making more work for her at 12.

MeAndMy3LovelyBoys · 27/07/2016 08:24

God there is so much Pot Noodle hate on this thread!

MiddleClassProblem · 27/07/2016 08:29

We had a pot noodle machine at college

blindsider · 27/07/2016 08:47

This is a reverse

It certainly sounds like it, but just in case this has been written by a 12 year old, your mum is right and sadly by the time you actually come to realise this you will probably have made her life a misery for years, so buck up your ideas help around the house and don't become a parasite!

Is your name Kevin?
As you rightly know your mother is a foul old bat who doesn't realise that as you are 12 your needs come first, always.Does she not have the number for Childline posted by the phone? I'd get on to them tout bloody suite and tell them the depths of her cruelty. Making you wash a fork. Shocking.
if you were mine I'd be giving you some extra English grammar to do over the holidays.
(Yes I know it's a reverse, but I'm bored)

thisisafakename · 27/07/2016 09:00

Stupid reverse. Why don't you write a thread saying you're frustrated that your kids won't tidy up rather than pretending to be your daughter (and making her sound monumentally thick in the process)?

AyeAmarok · 27/07/2016 09:00

How annoying.

MiddleClassProblem · 27/07/2016 09:02

I don't think it's reverse, I think this person doesn't have a 12 year old judging by what's written.

blindsider · 27/07/2016 09:04

OK I accept I can't post a photo Blush

I need a child to do it - Ha Ha

Goingtobeawesome · 27/07/2016 09:09

What's the point of this?

Smurfnoff · 27/07/2016 09:11

Are we near a cattle ranch? Because I smell bullshit.

thepenguinsrock · 27/07/2016 09:12

My 11 year old son knows that if he helps me out with certain things around the house or with his 2 year old sibling etc that I will do my bit my giving him extra things he's asked for like friends over or sometimes money for something he wants.
At your age OP you need to start learning to give a bit back In return for all the things your mum does for you which I can guarantee is way more than you know.
maybe do your jobs and she will stop moaning?
These comments have made me crave a pot noodle sandwich now 😂

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 27/07/2016 09:13

She's/He's a poster making a ham fisted attempt at composing a thread to get their point across .

Sorry OP but it's fallen on its' face a bit.

Your daughter has pissed you off and hadn't pulled her weight when asked.

GlitteryFluff · 27/07/2016 09:13
Hmm
Mcchickenbb41 · 27/07/2016 09:17

**Blindsider I have this in my kitchen Grin

aibu or is my mum?
blindsider · 27/07/2016 09:26

McChicken

It's marvellous isn't it? DW gave one to my SD she didn't see the funny side at all, and completely missed the irony of that - How we laughed.

MammouthTask · 27/07/2016 09:34

Mc dc1 has that in his bedroom. He choosed to buy it himself too!

I did laugh because I'm pretty sure he missed the irony too Grin

Mcchickenbb41 · 27/07/2016 09:36

When we brought it ds was not impressed ..... Oh well Grin
