To think this is SO UNFAIR?

I wanted some pink trainers from New Look so my mum ordered (and paid for) them. She ordered herself some in the same size/style but green.

They turned up and mine don’t fit, I’m now a bigger size than her. So she sent those back and ordered me the next size up. They haven’t arrived yet even though I keep asking her when they are coming and doing my best uuuuuuurgh noise when she says she doesn’t know.

Anyway, the worst thing is that she has been wearing hers. Right in my face. She can’t see what she’s done wrong even though it’s obvious that she shouldn’t wear them until I’ve got mine (and then never at the same time) because it’s just not fair.

AIBU? I’ve stormed upstairs to my room and slammed the door and she still won’t apologise.

Lol i'm assuming this is a joke. It's not very funny.

MadRainbow · 23/05/2018 16:35

Perhaps there should be lighthearted in the thread title?

BeefyCakes · 23/05/2018 16:36

Patience is a virtue. Waiting is good. Apologise to your mum.

mikeyssister · 23/05/2018 16:36

Of course YANBU. Your mother is an evil witch.

I think you should storm around some more and slam a few more doors.

Mothers are just the worst.

Reverse pita doesn't count when it's clearly a joke

You ordered the same trainers as your daughter? I don't blame her for getting the hump, get your own life you saddo!

Omg your mum sounds awful! You should totally post something on facebook about what a cow she is

Of course yanbu. What a cow.

EdmundCleverClogs · 23/05/2018 16:40

Oh god, one of these Hmm.

Ginkypig · 23/05/2018 16:42

Your mum sounds awful.

I can't believe she has the cheek to rub her trainers in your face.

You should well be stropping about she needs to see just what a cow she is.

TokenBritPoshOfCourse · 23/05/2018 16:42

They’re not even trainers. They’re cheapo fakey converse shoes. Which as any fule no is standard Mum uniform, let’s face it.

TokenBritPoshOfCourse · 23/05/2018 16:44

Honestly, the sheer brass neck of her, um, me, to wear the shoes she ordered without waiting for mine, er, hers to arrive.

Cheeky fuckery at its WORST.

YANBU - you didn't ask to be born did you?

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2018 16:47

Did you even ask to be born OP? Do all of your friends have much cooler moms than you do?

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2018 16:47

Ha shelf, great minds! Grin
